can any one help i just picked up a 1967 camaro that needs a motor and i have a 350 4 boilt main and i also have a 454 motor and both these motors are awsome in my books but im stuck in the midel and don,t know which one to go with i love my hores power and tork as well any help on this would be awsome thanks.:CRY: :confused:
:3dSMILE: 454 all the way....
The only thing better then cubic inches is MORE cubic inches.
On the other hand,is it a daily driver or strip only? Now that we are being screwed at the pumps again,:CRY: how fat is your wallet? More cubes more fuel!
I love small block for one reason and one reason only..................I don't have a big block and all the AH's around here have already scowered all the bone yards. I would use the big block.
yes i am working on my 707:3dSMILE:Quote:

a set of alum heades on that 454and a HD sway bar gas shocks .poly kit and good tires that camaro will run thru the corners like it was on rails
In my opinion, there is no substitute for cubic inches!!! 454 all the way!
If this is your only choice than go with the 454. Otherwise, sell both of them and go get a 426. :eek: Hemi, of course.:D
Go BB all the way.. SB is fun but there's no other feelin like a 454 :D
I had a '67 Camaro had a 302 :) then a 350 :3dSMILE: then a 454! :D
Go 454 :D and wear a big grin!
