Welcome! Nice cars!

thanks guys, need to get the 67 running again though, either blew a head gasket or cracked a head

That's a easy fix, now that you have a engine donor car.

Welcome. Nice cars btw! I have owned a 67 and a 5th gen now. Love them both!

axis, camarojt
ive been told its easy but im not the most mechanically inclined person, i have learned some stuff working on my truck and i helped a buddy do a cam swap on the 67 cause a lob went flat.

I was talking about pulling the LS3 out of your 13 and transplanting into the 67. Would make one helluva 67 restomod.

imafish82 · 10-21-2013, 06:24 PM

thats what i figured you were meaning axis but that would be an expensive motor to stick in the 67 if i did that

Camarojt · 10-21-2013, 06:44 PM

I did have a spare set of double hump heads that were angle milled. Had them forever then finally gave them to my old engine builder.

imafish82 · 10-21-2013, 06:47 PM

im still not sure if its a cracked head or just a blown gasket, im hoping for the gasket

Nightmare2012 · 10-21-2013, 06:50 PM

Replace the ls3 with a forged block like a 416 and drop the ls3 in your 67

imafish82 · 10-21-2013, 06:51 PM

camarojt,
i drove through allen when i was coming back from missouri with my 13, i have family in carolton

imafish82 · 10-21-2013, 06:55 PM

good thought nightmare but with the 67 i would like to keep it as original as possible but update the supension. wish i had a numbers matching 350 and trans for it and some idiot took the standard trans and put in an auto somewhere along the way

imafish82 · 10-21-2013, 06:57 PM

nightmare i saw you were going to do that swap with yours (i read the first 80+ pages of the thread before i gave up) did you end up doing that?
