Default 67 Camaro Build

Hey. Ryan in the Bay Area California. I picked up a 67 Camaro freshly media blasted and epoxy primered. All the sheet metal looks really good with the exception of the driver quarter panel and trunk area. I have reproduction steel for those areas and will be doing that along with a mini tub kit since the car is all apart anyway.

Going with an L86 8L90. I did a test fit with the drivetrain and everything fits great, so onward with the sheet metal.

I have 15” rally’s for it. Trying to keep a somewhat stock appearance from the outside. Haven’t decided on color.

The 8L90e fit the tunnel with no mods? Do you know what the driveline angle is? I would thin with factory frame, engine sits high, and the tunnel being factory / 8l90e being big, it'd have to be down a bit.

Looks like an excellent start to this project and looking forward to updates

Angle seems ok when comparing it to the subframe. The motor does sit a little high but when I tried to drop it down with the 69 Camaro/Nova engine stands it wouldn’t line up. The trans fits the tunnel I think due to the engine being 1.75” forward from the stock engine to trans area.
