Chevrolet 267 engines up for grabs

Pinballer · 12-22-2015, 08:43 PM

I have a friend here in central IL who has a couple of these from parted out El Caminos of the late 70s he wants to sell. Engines are complete and were running when removed within the last year, so consider them good rebuilders. Thought you Stocker guys might want first chance before he turns them loose on Craigslist to the masses. He's asking $450 each OBO.
Phone Carl at 217-254-0856 during normal waking hours Central time for all the info.

Brian
Did you race at Coles County back n the day?

Pinballer · 12-22-2015, 10:00 PM

Yes I did, mainly in a variety of AMC cars with the occasional Dodge Challenger thrown in.
From 1989 up till 2002. Then life got in the way!

Did we meet up in a couple of high stakes finals??

I also remember your name from Coles back in the 90s.It was a fun place with a lot of cars then, I hear not so much now.

Brian, hows it going? Haven't seen you in ages.

Man! Good to hear from some of you guys who went through the IL-IN bracket wars with me. I haven't raced at all since 2003 or so, and CCD has gone through some changes. Some good, some not so good, and I heard about them throughout the years. They're gradually ironing it out after some initial mistakes with the present ownership is what I'm now hearing. Car counts were increasing over this last year.

Guys, I'm comin' back to racing finally, just in a different way this time. I accomplished everything my competitive spirit wanted in the bracket scene, but I always had a part inside that admired the Stocker guys and what they were able to accomplish with practically nothing as far as easy go-fast parts and very stringent rules. For my own satisfaction, I gotta go there now and see what I can prove with yet another AMC car which as you know is my automotive love. Hence the T/SA '79 AMX ongoing build which will get me into the arena at an affordable cost.

Don't be strangers, PM me if you feel the need so I can get with you privately. We got catching up to do big time!
