Couldn't you get a turbo 400 in a 67 or 68 375 horse camaro or big car? How about a vette? When did the 400 actually come out?

You could get an automatic in a 1967 Vette 427/400 hp but not in the 435 hp 427. The 400 hp got hydralic lifters and 435 hp cars solid lifters.

I thought in 67 corvettes the only automatic was a powerglide. I thought the turbo 400 would fit in the 68 and up corvette.

The 68 Gibb nova is the only solid lifer car with a automatic trans. In 1968 PERIOD.

Here is a road test from a 68 hot rod mag that list's the turdo hydra-matic trans for the 350HP nova.

I can't get it to blow up so you can read it. Ed

Ed, That article says 3/4 the away down it. There would be no auto solid lifer cars that year. Also the 350 hp Nova with a auto was a hyd lifer motor. Kim

What trans did the 67 427 Impalas use?
