The reason I like this Camaro is the 350 cubic inch V8 up front, which is hundreds of pounds lighter than a big block, improving handling and braking in a big way without a major sacrifice in acceleration. With an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb and intake up top, HEI ignition, Z/28 style finned aluminum valve covers, and some Chevy Orange paint, it looks every bit the part of a hi-po bowtie. It’s not shiny and perfect but a deep cleaning would pay big dividends because the basics are excellent. Long-tube headers and a new dual exhaust system give it a great V8 rumble that few other engines can match, as well as a fat torque curve. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission snaps off shifts like rifle shots and the 10-bolt out back is built to take it. The front end appears to have been lowered to get that awesome stance, although the 17-inch wheels and 215/50/17 front and 225/55/17 rear performance radials certainly help in that regard.
