Just have to ask how many miles are on this Camaro; and were there any recurring issues that caused 3 motors to need replacing ? Wishing you ALL the best with this replacement. "Long may you run"

I had a friend who owned a 67 Camaro and ONLY ran it at the strip, when he sold it he advertised the actual LOW mileage, not mentioning it was ALL 1/4 mile balls to the walls runs.

I loved my LT1. It sounded better than any LS I've heard. They only reason I'm going LS3 is because I can't find a good tuner for my 383 and after trying so many things I gave up.

I never had an Opti spark problem either after 30,000 miles of hard runs.
