This Camaro’s powerplant is based on a sturdy Dart aluminum block with splayed-bolt main bearing caps. They fitted a forged steel crank and H-beam connecting rods from Eagle, high-compression forged aluminum pistons and Dart Pro 1 ported and polished aluminum heads and topped it off with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold.
