Congrats! Looks like a fun car. Camaros are great investments...they just keep going up in value.

Nice car. Camaro's are hot right now, enjoy it. Don't down play a SBC. I've had both including an SBC powered car that would blow the doors off the BBC car. A stock 454 isn't that impressive, but then again neither is a stock SBC. It all depends on what you do to them. How about a 502? Just remember "real hot rods" have 3 pedals.

Looked at all of your pics. I think I see a pro-street theme goin' on there! Could this Camaro have a similar future?

I had a de-stroked 400 and it wound up very fast, ran pretty good and was less tolerant than my 454. Small blocks are of course cheaper but I never miss the comments from folks who see me lift the hood and say.....oh cool you kept the big motor. Now a 502....I could be convinced to switch my 454 out for one but $$$$ is keeping that from happening.

I have been savin up parts for some time now. All I am missing is a cam. I have always liked the 454. I found the big motors make good power for a heavy car, and they look cool. I dont think this car is going to get the pro street look just yet, but it is getting a 9" rearend. When I get it in the car, I will post a pic of it. I said it was going to be a (sweet) 454. That was the wrong word. I should have said NASTY. Like I said weeeeeeeee. lol

Hey Travis, i like the 454 also. I've got one in my 33 and it runs real nice. The great car builder Bobby Alloway once said, Once you learn to drive,you put in a real motor, small blocks are trainer-type motors. Remember guys and gals, he said that, i didn't. So send all those nasty cards and letters to him, not me! It's in the Feb. 1977 issue of ROD & CUSTOM magazine. Does anyone else tend to keep your car magazines forever,or is it only me ? Have fun with that big rat.

Well there is an old saying: "There is no replacement for displacement."
