Re: 1967 Camaro with 283?
There was guy a couple of years older than me who lived up the street bought a 67 with a 283 powerglide. Bone stock 2 barrel, plain jane, never been touched car. Pulled the 283 and glide, put a 427 and 400 turbo out of a county cop car. by the time he got rid of the car must have had 20 differant motors in it. Export you say?

Re: 1967 Camaro with 283?
Of the very few 1967 283/195HP 2-Barrel Camaro's,
if raced in 1967,,,, classed in H/Stock 1968, M/Stock versus all those 57' Chevy Model #210's with the 283/220HP engine. Not sure why anyone would want a 283/195HP 2-Barrel, when the #LF-7; 327/210HP 2-Barrel was the same cost in the 1967 Camaro. Maybe it was a Mid-West car pricing/budgeting experiment.

I had one just like that. A Gold one. I later added a 4.56 gear and a 3927140 Trans Am camshaft and Hooker headers. Street driven.

Re: 1967 Camaro with 283?
How about a little more info on Raven Rock and Riverside drag strips? Quarter or 1/8-mile and sanctioned or not? When were they open and when closed? Sounds like Raven Rock might have been Gordon "Collectin" Collett's home track.....

Re: 1967 Camaro with 283?
I think in 67 and 68 the 302 had 2 bolt main caps...the 4 bolt main blocks showed up in 'DZ' 302 engines in 1969, if memory serves correct.
