69NovaYenko Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 A 6 cylinder would be nice. Sounds like a great idea for an economy minded "main streamer" build. I know of at least three `67 Camaros that ran either the 230 or 250 straight six back in the day. The Camaro's standard drivetrain was a 230 cu in (3.8 L) straight-6 engine rated at 140 hp (104 kW) and backed by a Saginaw three-speed manual transmission. Engine 230 cu in (3.8 L) L26 I6 250 cu in (4.1 L) L22 I6 302 cu in (4.9 L) Z28 V8 (Z/28) 307 cu in (5.0 L) L14 V8 327 cu in (5.4 L) LF7/L30 V8 350 cu in (5.7 L) LM1/L65 V8 350 cu in (5.7 L) L48 V8 (SS350) 396 cu in (6.5 L) L34/L78/L89 V8 (SS396) 427 cu in (7.0 L) L72/ZL1 V8 (COPO) Transmission 3-speed manual 4-speed manual 2-speed automatic 3-speed automatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the words of my old Sgt. Major: "Stand down gentlemen...stand down!" The list is an overview of the displacements that were "FACTORY" installed in 1st Gen Chevy Camaro`s (1967 thru 1969)...not a list of displacements available specifically in 1967 Camaros..sorry for any confusion. Of course we all are aware that the High-Performance Dealerships like Dana, Yenko, Gibb, Nickey, Motion, Berger etc. did in-house dealership modifications after taking delivery of the vehicles. Hopefully the below list will clarify to the matter: First-generation engines 1967–1969 L26 230 cu in (3.8 L) I6 140 hp (104 kW) 1967–1969 L22 250 cu in (4.1 L) I6 155 hp (116 kW) at 4200 rpm, 235 lb·ft (319 N·m) at 1600 rpm 1967–1969 Z28 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 290 hp (216 kW) (rated) 350 hp (261 kW) actual 1967–1969 LF7 327 cu in (5.4 L) V8 210 hp (157 kW) 1967–1968: L30 327 cu in (5.4 L) V8 275 hp (205 kW) 1969: L14 307 cu in (5.0 L) V8 200 hp (168 kW) 1969: LM1 & L65 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8 255 hp (190 kW) and 250 hp (186 kW) 1967–1969 L48 SS350 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8 295 hp (220 kW) (1969 300 hp (224 kW)) at 4800 rpm, 380 lb·ft (515 N·m) at 3200 rpm 1967–1969 L35 SS396 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 325 hp (242 kW) at 4800 rpm, 410 lb·ft (556 N·m) at 3200 rpm 1968–1969 L34 SS396 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 350 hp (261 kW) at 5200 rpm, 415 lb·ft (563 N·m) at 3200 rpm 1967–1969 L78 SS396 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 375 hp (280 kW) at 5600 rpm, 415 lb·ft (563 N·m) at 3600 rpm 1968–1969 L89 aluminum cylinder head option for the L78 SS396/375 engine—lightened the engine by ~100 lb (45 kg). 1969 COPO 9561/L72 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 425 hp (317 kW) at 5600 rpm, 460 lb·ft (624 N·m) at 4000 rpm 1969 COPO 9560/ZL1 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 430 hp (321 kW) at 5200 rpm, 450 lb·ft (610 N·m) at 4400 rpm Reference Footnote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro_(first_generation)#First-generation_engines Edited August 14, 2014 by 69NovaYenko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I wonder why GM never installed the 430 hp ( yeah, right) L-88 in the early Camaros???.. The L-88's made something like 560 ponies @ around 7200 rpm's.. That would have been a beast.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Kampmann Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 On ebay they got them on reved and say its got two motors a small block and big block Not sure where you read that Todd, but here's what I found: 1/25 '67 Camaro™ SS™ 2 'n 1 Plastic Model Kit Product ID: 85-4936 Overview Skill level: 3 Scale: 1/25 Length: 7- 5/16" Width: 2-15/16" Height: 1-3/4" Parts: 130 Description Superior speed The SS badge on the 1967 didn't actually stand for 'superior speed' but with this Camaro's Big Block 396 c.i. engine, it could have! This massive engine delivered between 350 and 375 horsepower depending on specific model. The endless option available for the '67 Camaro appealed to buyers with nearly 35,000 SS models rolling off assembly lines and onto American roads. Kit features a detailed 396 c.i. engine with optional dual exhaust, stock and racing wheels, racing interior, roll bar and separate back seat. The Camaro® was introduced in September of 1966. The Camaro SS™ 396 was a special package, distinguished by its nose stripe and SS emblems. The 396 cubic inch engine was rated at 325 HP and had 410 lbs. of torque. The Camaro has gone head-to-head against the competition on the street and on the race track. It has won championships both in road racing and at the drag strip.

unclescott58 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) First it's good to see Mr. Kampmann here. I heard something about him being in accident? But, I hear your all right? About the '67 SS-369. Mr. Kampmann is right, the 1967 Camaro was introduced on September 26, 1966. Along with it, Chevrolet's new to the SS-350 only, 350 small block. The SS-396 was not brought on line until November of 1966. And this seems to be an after thought, because no reference to the 396 engine being available, appears in early Camaro sales brochures or other factory literature. I would prefer that Revell's new kit is an SS-350. But, I will be happy if it is an SS-396. I will be even more happy if they ever bring out a '67 SS/RS convertible. But, I think I've mentioned this more than one time before. Scott Edited August 17, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It would be nice if they would give us a mainstreamer. Why do they always have to be high hp cars? I bet most were delivered in far less power and trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) It would be nice if they would give us a mainstreamer. Why do they always have to be high hp cars? I bet most were delivered in far less power and trim. I think, because in real life everyone wants the HP cars too, most just can't afford them, therefore model kits of cars we wish we had, sell. Same for big rigs, work trucks don't sell, rigs with lots of chrome and or artwork which make you (falsely) believe you're roaming the highways and byways of the US on your way to a new adventure (read avoid having to feed the bears, while putting the hammer down) ;^) .

jjsipes Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Here's an idea 2-n-1 kit. SS396 and a base 6 or 307 cu in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Here's an idea 2-n-1 kit. SS396 and a base 6 or 307 cu in. Would be nice, but all the extra parts needed for something like that (different engine, transmission, hood, emblems, grille, wheels, tires, exhaust, etc) would raise the price and people would complain about that, no doubt.. An SS350 or Z-28 variant would be nice to see eventually.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If history repeats itself, this kit will get milked for many variants like the '69 Camaro tool. Should provide a great canvas for the resin guys to fill in some blanks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Good for the modeling community, bad for my bank account and storage area! I think we will see many parts for this kit and also some variations of the Camaro- Z-28, SS, RS. I agree with others that a base model would be cool to have too.

johnbuzzed Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Another kit I won't be buying as I'm not into Chevies. So, there's one "extra" out there for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
