It was hard to beat the 427 cubic-inch that came in the COPO Camaro back in ’69, but today we have the ability to squeeze even more power out of the big block V8. That’s why when you look beyond the flash of this nicely presented engine bay, you will see the substance of a Merlin 520ci full roller motor filling the engine bay. It’s been built with go-fast goodies such as rectangle port aluminum Pro Topline heads, Milodon oil pan, March serpentine pulley system, MSD ignition, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Quick Fuel 850 CFM four-barrel carburetor. The full package is estimated at 650 horsepower. All it takes is the roar from long tube performance headers feeding the Pypes X-pipe dual exhaust, and the crowds will know you’re making more power than an original COPO. Plus, with the Be Cool aluminum radiator and electric fan, this monster V8 knows how to stay calm even in a crowd. Making sure all that power gets to the ground is the control of a Richmond 4+1 manual that feeds a Ford 9-inch rear running a 3.70 ratio for good takeoffs. On the road features like power steering, four wheel disc brakes, Hotchkis front sway bar, and aluminum body bushings on the rear leaf springs means a superior-feeling Camaro. Add in the grip of Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR tires, and this is an unbeatable package.
