Too bad they quit making the straight six, probably because they can run forever if not run out of oil. lol

Straight 6 over a V6 for me. I've had my share of straight 6's in various brands but I have never owned a V6, and never will. This 67 vert that the OP bought is originally a V8 car, the 3rd digit in the vin is a 4.

FYI: If you really want to know the specifics about your new projects drivetrain, you will need to locate the Protecto Plate, which was attached to the original Warranty Booklet. If that is gone, like most are, then the only info on drivetrain will be specific to Straight 6 or V8. If the car is coded as a Z28 for example on the Fisher Body firewall tag, then the car was supposed to have a 302 V8(Engine would be stamped on the block with the correct year code, IE; 1969 = DZ then serial #. Good luck with your project.

Just a FYI on the 67 (only) options are listed on the Cowl tag, The problem was the mid year big block kind of messed things up on the SS. The 4P could be a big block SS or a 350 SS. The heater core holes in the fire wall tell us that it was 350 SS.
68 and 69 do not have full option cowl tags.

I drove a 72 Camaro I6/power glide for 2 year as my daily and I owned a 68/3 on the tree short bed pickup. Nice low end torque but post 1995 3800 for the win, God I love that motor.

I don't know what the plan is but I am just now finishing up a 67 big block to number matching by that I mean casting and date code, unless your a metal body guy get a new shell! well save you a lot of time and money. but this is just my opinion.
