87 camaro: 350, th700-r4, unknown gears. the car was originally a 6 cylinder, and one of the previous owners swapped in the 350. no computer controls whatsoever. it's got a q-jet on it, but that quit a few years ago. i got started with a new edelbrock carb, performer rpm intake and got side-tracked thinking about getting more power under the hood. i could probably go charge the battery and crank it up, but i'm working on the fine print for the 406 sitting on the engine stand. just waiting on the cash to start buying parts for it.

69 camaro: 307, th400, 3.08:1 gears. not a tire-burner by any stretch of the imagination. it's a stock replacement motor, and i have still to go get the stock motor from the guys i bought the car from. they're hanging on to it for me, so when i am able (need a truck) i will head up there to get it. the guy i bought it form is a mechanic, and he buys semi-basket-cases and brings them back to life. the original 307 is old - just needs a rebuild to drop it back in. he said he put heads from a 327 on it, and it's got decent pep - probably run 15s in the quarter, but i haven't taken it to the track yet (coupla things needed to pass tech). i added a chrome air cleaner housing and lid, chrome side support bars, chrome valve covers, and i'm working on the head-liner.
