Big block camaro find.

I am just curious if the person that built this camaro with this big block is on the forum. Wanted to ask him why he got rid of it.

Re: Big block camaro find.

Probably because it was cobbled together and ran like a 180hp smogger 454 shoehorned into a Camaro. Judging from the looks of things, it probably made a lot of nice, and burned a lot of gas, and got stomped at stoplights by TBI 305s. Just a guess.
