Re: 69 L72 CAM
Keith,
I had a '69 L78 engine in a SS Camaro Convertible, and had this car restored completely. I was disappointed in this engines performance, it did not feel very strong, and many people had extolled stories on how powerful these 396 engines were. This car ran a M20 transmission and a 3:55 ratio axle. My LS6's with their low compression seemed to pull harder and run stronger. Heck, my friend Larry Weymouth, last year at the Pure Stock Drags ran a 13:12 with his stock '71 LS6, and this was with a 3:36 axle ratio.
