A Nicky Camaro In NJ

[Rat_Pack]

Jason, yes that is true it was easier to do that. From all of the info I know that is what was done once the 396 became available. All they did was swap out the short block for a 427 if a customer wanted it. Now some cars got aluminum heads, aftermarket intakes, different carbs, some with dual 4bbls, headers, traction bars both the single bar like Bill Thomas made and the Lakewood bars, it was whatever the customer wanted. Not all cars were built like the two or three test cars with the yellow engines and dual 4's. Most were base L72 transplants and the engines were orange.

Like I said earlier, it is possible if this car came from Nickey that this bb conversion was done but it is very unlikely due to the costs involved and the fact it was built after the 396 was available. However if they did, it is very doubtful that they would have changed all of the parts to the correct bb items as I stated above.

I have talked to guys that built these cars and there were no two cars alike. This follows suit with a Motion car, there is no such thing as standard except they were all fast.............RatPack...............
