Just got this corvette home last night and this morning confirmed what the previous owner claimed. Indeed it is a 67 camaro engine and most likely stuck. It is a suffix coded MS engine which is a manual transmission 295 H.P. (SS) engine. The pad is complete with the last half of the serial number for the car. What is the best way to search for this car. I will first try the Montana highway Dept. The gentleman I bought the car from couldn't remember anything about the camaro only he had the engine. The vette is out of Montana, so the camaro may be there or it could be a boat anchor. I may try a camaro forum?? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks! Dick Gutman

Re: 67 SS 350 engine in my new 60 corvette
Are you searching for the Camaro in hopes that it has your '60's engine or just to get the Camaro?
When did the 350 get put in your Vette? If recently, you have half a chance of finding it, but remember, most cars lost their engines due to wrecks or being junked out. Corvettes are one of the few cars to be in near perfect shape and yet lost their engines, due to theft mainly.
That Camaro could have long ago gone to the junkyard or have rotted out.
The normal course would be the state you are in (or where the car came from) first, then broaden your search with the next closest states, and spread out slowly.
If the engine changed long ago, odds are the car is long gone. Or it could be a drag car and still around, but if so, it won't show up on any state registration search. -

Re: 67 SS 350 engine in my new 60 corvette
The gentleman I bought the vette from on Friday said he bought the vette in 66 and he got the camaro engine sometime around 1970. I don't want the camaro. I would like to get it back to the Camaro and its current owner, if it still exists.Comment

You could post the engine data at www.camaros.net and at www.camaros.org ; those two sites are strictly 1st-generation Camaro guys, best two places for exposure to '67 Camaro owners.Comment
