First Generation Camaro feats and facts – Learn about the best area of muscle Chevrolet Chevrolet Did The United Nations Feasible
Since I have never written an article on the specifications of the first generation Camaro's engine, I will examine what are the specs for the Camaro SS, Z/28 Camaro, Camaro RS RS / SS Camaro, Yenko Camaro, ZL1 Camaro, Baldwin Motion Camaro, and last but not lease Berger Camaro.
:
It is something I've never seen done in a document, who knows maybe I'll be the first to attempt such an undertaking, not much information to cover here, so I'll throw his head, first we will discuss the Camaro SS, and we hold each year.
:
In 1967, the Camaro SS had a little engine of different options that are available, and we'll cover these options, and options to prepare for back are available with engine options, first and most common RPO L48 was the 350 V8 with 295 hp, at a cost of $ 211.00.
:
Calculation options were available that we are available for almost every engine option, and were as follows, 2.73:1, 3.07:1, 3.31:1, 3.55:1, 3.73:1, 4.10:1, 4.56:1, and although it uses the most common rate was 3.71:1, and a good set of gear around, no high or low.
:
The 350 SS tested at 0-60 mph in 7.8 seconds according to Car and Driver, with 16.1 seconds 1 / 4 mile Time Trap, while Motor Trend tested SS 350 in 8 0-60 seconds and 15.4 seconds with 1 / 4 mile elapsed time.
:
On November 26, 1966 Chevrolet has launched two new options engine for large blocks, the first was the 396 CID RPO L34 priced at $ 225.00 with the SS package that produced 325 hp with 396 CID RPO L78, priced at $ 550 including the package SS produces 375 hp.
:
Motor Trend tested a shipping version of L35 SS 396, with four teams gearbox 6 seconds from 0-60, and a 14.5 1 / 4 mile time at 95 mph the car's Life magazine tested a similar version with a Powerglide automatic transmission, and obtained a 0-60 time of 6.8, with 15.1 seconds 1 / 4 mile time.
:
Then of course we had the 427 COPO L72 powered jeeps, which were King of the mountain to the distributors of the United Nations as Yenko Chevrolet have them, the L72 Camaro was capable of 13.5 seconds 1 / 4 mile time of the plant, that was impressive.
:
The L72 engine had started life in the Corvette, and then was transplanted in the Camaro when Specialty retailers put their hands on the car could push the L72 Camaro to a 12.7 1 / 4 mile elapsed time, and has been a remarkable feat for the time.
:
Then came the Z/28 Camaro in 1967, only a modest 609 were built, the Z/28 had another purpose, however, was destined for a career in the SCCA circuit, which means that the engine size can not exceed 305 cubic centimeters.
:
Enter the 302 cc Z/28 engine, this engine was never used in any form other car factory, which has been designated a The Camaro Z/28 engine was rated at 290 HP, but in fact, more than 420 HP, which has dominated road racing in SCCA circuit.
:
Z/28 Camaro 1967 was a period of 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and a 1 / 4 mile in 14.9 seconds at 67 MPH, has claimed a top speed of 124 mph, figures impressive for the third time since Smallest V8 Chevrolet ever built. The train sets that are like the previous, and had the choice between a transmission manual or automatic Camaro Z/28 was more about handling then 1 / 4 mile times, pulling 96 G numbers on the platform of the drag, most of these cars do no better than that.
:
There was also a version / RS 1967 Camaro SS, which was basically a Camaro SS and added floodlights Hideaway the RS model, not a huge improvement, but a really good, just make the Camaro look more intimidating than it already is.
:
Now we'll move on to the year 1968, there have been some changes this year, one of the biggest changes was the appearance of the car, Chevrolet has decided to add some Graphic bands known as hockey, as the aspect of hockey sticks, each side of the car.
:
The hockey team also wrapped tape on the nose the car, and available only in models of the Camaro SS, were clearly designed to capture the attention of car buyers, and make it look faster sight, and he both.
:
In 1968, the Camaro SS comes with two engine options from the factory, and were well, 350 CID engine in some configurations different, or a big block 396 is a few different configurations, either the 1968 Camaro seriously.
:
There was obviously Dealers who have the engine compression software customized with which COPO, or the central government to produce these dealers included in block of 427 large, which proved to be the king of the hill, this year too.
:
Dealers Chevrolet Yenko, Berger Chevrolet, Chevrolet Baldwin, and others, these dealers made the Camaro doing things that were not repeated until now warriors were real cars from the road, the cars never display.
:
For this article, I discuss the 1968 Yenko Camaro COPO 9561, which I think was the best idea of all of them installed a 427 CID V8 Yenko, Don Yenko Chevrolet visited prompted to install a factory 427 COPO with the idea because his mechanics were unable to follow orders.
:
The SJC, or Super Yenko Camaro comes with a speedometer factory installed 140 MPH, Z/28 was also installed on the suspension, giving them a little more agile than the average for big block Camaro, without mention the extra HP they had.
:
The engine was rated at 425 hp but about 600 HP, Yenko snot Camaro is not peak before 1969, when he broke several records, and continued to do so through to 1969 years, but that would be the best year in 1969.
:
We, of course, had the Z / 28 Camaro in 1968 also, and claim to fame remains the same tracks dominate SCCA road racing, the great change for the Z/28 in 1968 was the addition of blocks of four bolt main motor at the end of 1968.
:
There was also an available option in 1967, 68, and 69 Camaro known as Cross-range of RAM, it has added an extra four barrel carburetor for mixing, and placed under the hood, and before him, which added some power midrange and high end.
:
There were two 590 CFM Holley four barrel carburetors bubble pump, and it very rarely an option that makes cars that have a value in the range of $ 100,000, is very rare and very difficult in a car voluntarily.
:
The Camaro SS 396 boasted in the figures of the same power as last year with the addition of adding the possibility L89 aluminum heads for the engine 375 HP 396, which does not add HP, but the car dropped about 75 pounds.
:
In 1969, the COPO Camaro Add Special known only as the ZL1, this engine is rated at 425 HP, but it was an all-aluminum engine, making them weigh about the same as small block engine, which gives you a great advantage, this car was known as the COPO 9560 Camaro.
:
In 1969, Fred Gibb Chevrolet ZL1 1969 Camaro would seek race and promote granted, it would be difficult to recruit Dick Harrell was driving the car, it would make things no other car that again in the garment factory.
:
Dick Harrell would take the car for regular 10.40 seconds 1 / 4 mile time and set a record high of 10.06 in 139 MPH in his Camaro ZL1, making it one of the fastest cars ever built factory race team crazy Fred Gibb and Dick Harrell, one of the most famous of all time.
:
One step below the ZL1 Camaro Super Yenko Camaro would come, which could have its own with any car, the SJC, or Super Yenko Camaro, with a camera installed at the factory COPO 9561 option, which was a 427 CID L72 rated at 425 horsepower.
:
Available only with joint 4.10:1 gears in the rear, which was slightly less setreet friendly, but it is manageable in the street also had the option of an automatic transmission or standard, depending on how you ordered the car.
:
The transmissions are available M21 or M22 four gearboxes or automatic turbohydromatic, depending on your order, because that was a notch below the ZL1 Camaro, you should not think less of her.
:
The engines are exactly the same, without ZL1 engine was all aluminum and the L72 is a cast iron engine, the main difference is the weight of engines, or engines that have been Wimpy, two were responsible for heart attacks.
:
In 1969 the body of the Camaro was redesigned so the bestseller Camaro times Chevrolet needs an idea to sell more, and had the good idea of the new Camaro 1969-design of the bodywork.
:
The SYC Camaro was recorded at 11.45 1 / 4 mile, which meant he could not bear any car on the strip at the time, minus the ZL1 Camaro, Yenko Camaro but a wonderful car, he likes that have never been built again.
