Looking @ Nitro Joe's stats, It doesn't appear that a '68 Camro/350 is a combination found very often, yet there are numerous 327's. Looks like they've defactored thr 350 combo as well. Is the 350 just not a workable combo, or is the 327 that much BETTER?

BP, missed the stick only on the 375hp
so that leaves a 396/325 for D/SA, or the 350 or 327 for G/SA if I'm reading correctly,,,,,, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bob,

This summer I spoke to a noted and well respected stock/superstock engine builder about this very subject as I have a '68 camaro that I sometimes think about running as a stocker (it is a street/strip car now). He told me that in the heat the 350 seems to run better and is more consistent than the 327. Other than that it is pretty much a toss up.

As a note the 350 camaros in 67/8 were Super Sports which probably means you have to use the correct SS hood and louvers which I think weighs about 30 pounds or so more than a flat hood.

I'm not aware of any other significant differences for class racing between the 350 SS and the 327 base/RS 67/8 camaros.
