MacNeish wrote a whole chapter on this 234 COPO unit in his Camaro book. Lots of photos. Me and my boys have been to his shop and he's been doing rears for over 40 years!

I saw many of the 234 pieces at CHP while I was there. He has quite a selection of pieces parts from when he marketed this carrier for drag racing back in the early 1970's. Also saw one of the 877 trans am carriers there.
