Just bought a 67 camaro and has a barely running 6 cyl. I am thinking of building a 427 with aluminum heads on a stand while I get the cyl running enough to go back and forth to the body shop.

What motor would everyone suggest? I am open to ideas still. I just got my car delivered from the east coast today.

I will have a lot of questions on suspension if I actually go with a big block.

 

an lsx engine. there are so many parts avaible for the lsx engines. plus there not that much money

 

Welcome to the forum, you know this question is purely opinion.

 

I found a 454 that was already built that came with a TH400 and all the brackets, alternator, radiator and even wheels from a guy in Beverly Hills that was going in a different direction on his Chevelle so I bought it all for 2k. It still had the break in oil and fired right up. I needed all the stuff he included for my 6cyl conversion. Now that it runs I can move on to the convertible top. I will address possible aluminum heads and aluminum water pump later as this motor is HEAVY. Very fast but Heavy.

 

Congrats man. Post some pics. Did he break in the motor or just the cam? Something you might wanna ask

 

Welcome...572?

 

Help if anyone can!!!
I am putting a Transpak into my th400 and it calls for pushing in the boost valve to remove the snap ring. Well now the boost valve wont come out of where i pushed it in. It is JAMMED up .. real bad. I thought it got cocked in there or something so I tapped on one side..nothing.
I really dont want to remove my trans, as I dont have a lift.
HOW DO I GET IT OUT NOW?
I was even thinking of just putting the snap ring back and forget the whole shift kit. But its still gonna be jammed.

 

Buy a cheap trans jack adapter from Harbor Freight and remove the trans and do it right .You will have peace of mine knowing you don"t have to worry if it's right , or ruining your trans. Not that big of a job.

 

1.0L Voltec hybrid Thats my suggestion, that would be unique... ok, sorry I cant keep that up, way to go 454!

 

lq4 with a couple turbos strapped to it.
