Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
That is going to be one beautiful car once done. Can't beat Rally Green with Black Houndstooth. But then again I am just a little biased..

Well seasoned on purpose or the old first stocked, bottom of the pile and later out story!?.  ~ Pete

Re: DANA "427" Camaro found...thanks to Jeff Chlupsa
Not to change the subject but, my old Gibb 427 car had a 270 block in it. I never even thought about it being the org. transplanted motor. The reason was I knew Ray Morrison car had a different # block so that's what I bought. The block I had was two days off from Ray's block. Heck maybe that motor was the org???
