1967 Camaro Sleeper Build

[jbtech]

Update:
I've aquired many more parts including NOS 77 Heads!

Also I've decided to do the car in stages.
Stage 1 get it running as is with the 350/4speed. I want to appreciate the improvements made on the car and get it on the road.
Stage 1 means factory manual drum brakes all around and manual steering and Old suspension (new shocks and sway bar). It will only take a day to clean out the lines, put in the new wheel Cylinders/ master cylinder and get it going.... Or stopping hopefully.

This gives me the opportunity to break in the motor/trans/rear and hopefully sell the engine. It also gives me time to buy all the parts for stage 2.

Stage 2: power steering, power brakes, suspension, engine bay paint, frame painted, big block swap. Essentially the car mechanically in it's final rendition.

Stage 3: exterior paint and interior

Today I dropped off the booster and master cylinder cap to be restored including Cad plating before photo attached. Tomorrow I'm sending the 3856284 water pump to be rebuilt.

Update:
Unpacked the heads and I'm happy with the purchase. NOS heads with some work done.
Sent the water pump off to get rebuilt.
Also found out the '71 Camaro combination valve can get rebuilt by the same local folks rebuilding the booster and sent that in.
Put a period correct voltage regulator cover on my new voltage regulator.

Things are coming together quickly! Good progress.

I've been running a set of those 077 heads on my 427 for many years. I'd like to get another set someday for another 427 that I'm wanting to build.

Luckily the heads I bought were pre helicoiled for the rocker studs. Whoever worked on these cleaned them up nicely and did some preventable maintenance. I'm looking forward to years of service like your heads. If you ever need heads I recommend contacting Jason ( SuperNovaSS ). He is very good at sourcing engine parts.

Here are some pics of the NOS crank. My engine builder says he's had this since the early 70's and has been with him through a few marriages.

Ooooh, that’s the best crank. I like how the machinist had it tagged, “MINE”. Good score!
