Re: ? on 1967 Camaro old drag car.
This car is a 4N car.
But yes my L78 has a O-O paint code dark green metallic. I have not had a chance to measure the the drive shaft yet hope hopefully I can do it this weekend.

Re: ? on 1967 Camaro old drag car.
Ok just measured and the driveshaft is 51". I measured from end of loop
to end of loop. So center hole to center hole about 50" Then I measured the other car the same way and it measured 52" I have a 67 camaro subframe in storage I will get out and do some measuring and check it against this car.

Re: ? on 1967 Camaro old drag car.
I remember speaking with Al Maynard in the 70's and he moved the engine back on his "stock" drag Camaro (I think it was a 67). Apparently it was "allowed" in the "stock" class or he was cheating and didn't get caught ... he mentioned slotting the engine/transmission mounts to move it back
He also said the entire front end was acid dipped, sub frame, suspension and all ... all the weight he lost he put in the rockers right in front of the rear wheels in lead ...

Re: ? on 1967 Camaro old drag car.
If you swap the frame stands from side to side it sets the engine back 1". So know you know.
