my dad had a 76 camaro... had a 454 in it that he only gave 200 dollars for. was a racing motor that he got off of some guy up in the mountains. he had a 4 barrel carb and it would fly. he said he could be goin 60 and stomp the gas and it would turn him around. but how could it not? a 454 *probly* bored out (idk if it was but it was a racing motor so...) new pistons and all that shit... that would have been a bad *** motor!!! and in a camaro too...
