Firing Up The Nova's New LS364 Crate Motor - MuscleCar S2, E1

Project "Blue Hair" gets an LS364 crate motor, new gas tank and fuel system. Once completed, Lou installs frame connectors to stiffen up the body and wires up the ignition system. Flashback segment covers the 1967 Chevy Camaro Indy 500 official pace car!

I just put the ls364/450 Longblock into my c5. I'm curious on what the dyno numbers were for the nova..

As someone who's owned a half dozen Camaros over the last 4 decades the Pace car segment was cool. Way back in 1977 I bought my first Camaro, a 1974 LT, from my local Chevy dealer Kitson Chevrolet. Fast forward 3 decades while working for a landscape supply company I was sent out on a delivery a couple towns over to a Mr Kitson. I get there pull into the driveway and the garage door opens. An edlery gentleman walks out and it's Mr Kitson. Inside the garage is a white convertible 1967 Camaro. I asked about the car, it was white with the blue interior and bumble bee stripe around the nose. It had the 327 and a powerglide, he told me it was bought by a little old lady and was too much for her. Her bought it back and held onto it for 40 years. Wasn't a Pace Car, butit was the same color combo and a survivor to boot.

I love everything about this car, except for the LS. EVERYTHING seems to be an LS .

1:50 so earlier it was a LS3 now he's saying LS2

I think the car should have had a stroked big block with turbo 400 installed or a race powerglide.

You could have put the regulator in the back. You wouldn't have to run 2 lines up to the front that way.

I wonder how much it will cost to make my 1987 gmc suburban a sleeper
