Re: Grandfather's 68 SS Camaro.
I have just learned quite a bit about this car. It was, in fact, an original L78, and the 454 that's in it now has a pretty radical cam, at least I think it is.. It's a Comp Magnum Hydraulic Flat Tappet with .575 degrees of lift and .305 degrees of duration. It's got 10.25:1 compression. It also has a 3.73 rear gear in it.
I've been emailing the guy who raced it back in the mid-late 80s. It was his first car. I don't know what happened to the 396, but it, and the 4 speed, are long gone.
