Re: need some camshaft advice for my l36
 

i found 2 broadcast sheets,both in rear seat,one in the bottom and one in the back.the original owner ordered this car to race,but after about 4 or so races,his wife made him stop.Her exact quote was"We were young this was a 4 thousand dollar car!"He spun a bearing in the original engine after only 900 miles(actaully done it twice and finally got a new short block. (Its and April block and a Dec car)from heads up is original to the car.he then bought a 55 from his uncle and the impala became his tow car(notice hitch) and his wifes daily driver after a 3.08 gear swap for the next 17 years til it broke a ring land and started smokin.i have some pics when it was new.ill get them scanned and post them in a few days.

Thanks for posting those. What's the build date on the cowl tag, 12B or 12C? When was the car sold, soon after it was built? The six digit number on he top right of the window sticker will be on the broadcast cards and the cowl tag.

By the way, 3 of the 75 67's are Tuxedo Black (2 with black vinyl top including this one).

12c is the build date,Mr Mathews ordered the car after seeing one in Bowling Green belonging to Pat Cassidy,whom was a local drag racer.the pop is dated 12/28/66. they were both triple black with four speeds! Mr Matthews told me Pats car had a m21 trans.it would be cool to know the wherabouts of the other one.In a strange twist it wound up with the original m20 out of my car.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: cwc</div><div class="ubbcode-body">a few months ago i bought a triple black original paint(except hood) 67 ss427 impala.its a factory m20,3.73 posi.i have pop,window sticker,and the original owners just live 40 miles from me!engine was rebuilt back to stock by second owner,but for some reason put in a huge cam and its got to go.im wanting somthin pretty mild.i do like little lope.its does have headers but thats it. </div></div>...I think that a &quot;67&quot; SS427 Impala m20,3:73 posi is one of the Badest car's out there. With a cam and headers you can't go wrong,try driving it for a longer while,you could like it.

Mike </div></div>yeah,Webb Chevrolet. 427king has a l78 69 camaro from there.it came from a good friend of mine

Re: need some camshaft advice for my l36
 

Plowman,the cam is huge,im guessing over .600 lift.it makes no bottom end whatsoever.its really no fun to drive.

Re: need some camshaft advice for my l36
 

427 Muscle Car with a cam ,headers,and has the lope you like,try it for a while. It takes a different dance step to drive it. The carb or the tune or other things could be bad too. I like the car and you have fun with your car too.
