1976 Chevrolet Camaro - Project g/28
Our new '76 Camaro is a V-8 car, specifically, it has RPO code LG-3 which is a 140-hp 305-cid small-block. We wanted a V-8 car to start out with so we could reuse the ancillary equipment like brackets, hoses, valve covers, cooling system, air cleaner, and accessories. Since our '76 will not be exempt from visual inspections and tailpipe smog tests, it will be important to keep a stealthy appearance. We're not sure exactly what we'll retain and what we'll throw away, but it's nice to have all the original parts to start out with. We're still figuring out what we're going to do with the engine, but we're leaning towards a mostly stock-looking pump-gas stroker motor--probably a 383. We'll probably use smog-legal headers (if we can find them!), intake, carburetor and a small smog-legal cam. When we do the exhaust, we'll get a new high-flow catalytic converter. As this is a '76 model, there is no smog pump, which is a plus. View Related Article
