Car looks great!
Just gotta say though... FWIW original GM LS-6 parts are worth enough to buy a crate ZZ572.
Just sayin.

its wasnt ever going to be an original car, mid 20k car tops even thats stretching it. with a 454 it appeals that people that want to go fast and someone that wants a motor. with the 572 its just a camaro with a 572. idk thats the way i see it, either way i dont think my dad has plans on selling the car. hopefully it will be mine someday and frankly 500hp is plenty for me

Awesome project for you two! Beautiful car.
But for the record, I'd have to hop on the train. If two identical cars were for sale, one with a crate 572 and one with a stock head 454 poked to a 468?, I'd jump on the 572.. It's a cam away from seriously disgracing the 454.

Nice ride and best of luck with the project. I wish I could have caught ya sooner and talked you into buying the 68 Camaro 327 I have in my garage tired of moving it around lots of banged shins. If I remember correct the Red High back buckets was an option in 69 only. At least that is what I was told by someone trying to buy a black set I acquired a long time ago. I had the Black (deluxe) ones in your photo mine were blue in a 67 convertible I used to have. I miss 1st gen stuff if ya ever need a date coded correct 327 for a 68 Camaro shoot me a message

What is that stuff between the cylinder walls (and under the timing cover) on the underside of the block?

completely unnecessary for a non uber-performance motor its purely a conversation/bragging rights thing. hopefully the car will never leave the family so nobody will find any suprises bc they will all know what is done to it
