Back in the 80's i had a 77 camaro that had a 67 corvette 427 engine with the tri power carbs still on it. The engine was stock with exception of a larger cam and a set of headers, 400 turbo trans with 3500 convertor and 4.11 gears. It was probably one of the most fun cars I've owned, you could kill a set of rear tires in a weekend ?
