I think the 67 350 just had a something to do with the oil filter or oil system or something but correct me if im wrong?

 

LOL... The 350 was introduced in the 1967 model year and was only available in the '67 SS Camaro that year.

 

What he said.

 

A 67 350 fuelie would be one of one!

 

Fuelie heads refers to the camel hump heads, not a fuel injected 350.

Here's a quote from CHP magazine...

For '62 Chevrolet's new hot motor, the 327 (the first small-block with a four-inch bore) packed a wallop. Besides the carbureted versions, a fuel-injected 327 with 360 hp was optional in the '62 Corvette. The cylinder heads used on this engine (and some others of the era) were the 3782461X head with 1.94/1.50-inch valves. These heads had the commonly found double-hump shape on the end of the head. It should be noted that beginning in '64 and through '68, cylinder heads with the double-hump shape also used 2.02-inch intake valves (aka fuelie heads). Castings with 2.02-inch intake valves were also used on the 365hp (Holley carburetion) and 375hp (Rochester fuel-injection) Corvette 327 engines.

There were several castings refered to as "camel hump" or "fulie"

3782461....64-66...327......Camel hump,no accessory holes,160/62cc port volumes,62cc chamber

3782461X...60-63...283/327..Camel hump,no accessory holes,larger 172/64cc port volumes, 62cc chamber

3890462....66-67...302/327/350..Camel hump,no accessory holes,64cc chamber

3917291....67-68...302/327/350..Camel hump,no accessory holes,64cc chamber

3917292....68......327/350......Camel hump,64cc chamber

3927186....69-70...302/350......Camel hump,64cc chambers,accessory holes

3927187....69-70...350..........Camel hump,64cc chambers,accessory holes

3973414....70......350..........LT1-350/370hp, Camel hump, 64cc chamber

3991492....70......350..........LT1,Camel hump,accessory holes,64cc, straight plug

 

not to get off the subject but....

congrats on # 5000 Unreal!

 

FWIW, a block dated Sept of 67 would not have gone in a 67 Camaro. A 68 maybe...

 

Yes 350 was introduced in 1967 but wasnt there a difference in that 350 compared to the 68+ or was that the 327?

 

1967 ~ 68 350 spec.s are identical for all internals and cranks are both 'large' journal. Heads were different.
1967 327's used the 'small' journal crank - 1968 327's used a 'large' journal crank.

 

did the 1967 SS350 use the canister oil filter?

1967 was the last year for canister oil filters on most Chevy V8s
most 1968 engines had spin-on oil filters

 

Yes that's correct and there was a crank case vent at the back of the block similar to a road draft tube. I don't think a sept 67 casting block would have them, as stated it would be for am early '68 vehicle.

 

Has the block been decked or is there a partial VIN on it? Could be very valuable to someone. Mike. :beers::beers:

 

I though the 67 350 came with small journal cranks?

All '67 350's were large journal. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=92646

 

exactly!!!.. I knew there was some oil filter difference.. I was talking to some old guy at the car show about it once :-D

 

No documented 350 came with small journals but there are guys claiming to have them. The conversations gotten heated more than once...

 

Hey Mike...as far as I know it hasn't been decked, but has alluded that he thought that this motor was fairly rare and not too common. I was going to put a tag on it for $5,000, but didn't know if this was out of line? He did up my 350 about 6 years ago, and have not had one prob with it...just did the 50 over, replaced the pistons, new bolts, oil pump and did the heads of course.

And Tim, from what I have read, the '67's did initially come out with the small journal, but very soon replaced it with the larger one.

 

It's only "rare" if it has a camaro assembly suffix code and camaro partial vin. The block itself is not rare.

 

Thanks...will check and get back.

In 1 word: Yes!

 

I have a 67 350 with the suffix code of ME, and you guys are good, with a crank size of 2.4484 to 2.4494 for 67-68 and 69. Thank's
Pat

 

In 1967 an ME suffix is a 2 barrel 327 with a powerglide tranny for a camaro.
