I am from Québec,Canada and bought my Bernardcam1975's 1975 Chevrolet Camarocar in 1978 from my brother who got it new in 1975.

The car was modified in the first months of 1975 to improve the performance ,which was back then, very poor. First , the rear-end was changed from 3.08:1 to 3.73:1 to bring the 4 speed transmission to life. Bernardcam1975's 1975 Chevrolet Camaro Bernardcam1975's 1975 Chevrolet Camaro

Then a camshaft(solid lifter) was introduced to increase the horsepower to a respectable level.Finally , a set of hedders was installed and a set of BF Goodrich tires and Keystone Classic mags (15 inches) were added to the car.
These wheels have been changed since by some Center Line Warrior.

This year, I have purchased a new motor from ENGINE FACTORY (New Jersey).

It has been installed in my car in april. The new 383 cubic inches (stroker) has 475 hp and 466 pounds of torque.The motor is a turn-key engine and was manufactured in Jupiter,Florida. Everything in the motor is ''roller'' balanced and blueprinted.This motor runs on 92 octane gas.

I do not know yet what will be the performances on the quarter of mile but the feeling is really exciting already.

I have installed my Hedman Elite hedders (1 3/4 inches), ceramic coated but still need to change the exhaust to match this larger size of headers.

In May, i have installed a new transmission, 4 speed manual, Borg Warner T-10 in aluminium in the car; this one is much stronger with a ratio on first gear of 3.42;1

I am planning to lower my suspension soon, to improve the handling of the car but i want to see first how the car will react to the horsepower.

We are a group of 200 muscle car enthousiasts in Laval (north shore of Montréal) and we have met every Friday night as Laval Autosport club for the past twelve years from may to the end of september.

Hi there. I'm fairly new to this site. I'm loving the community here, so I want to contribute to everyone this article I read that really changed my life financially. Last week I got a check for $900! Really, no joke, I thought I couldn't do it myself, but I did. And it really helped me out my family financially because i'm a stay at home mom. But here's the article I read: http://www.news4show.com/finance/google-hiring-you.html hopefully it works out for you too. Good luck and God bless!

Hey man, that's a beautiful '75 you have there! Really like that blue paint. The black headlight bezels are exactly what I am looking into doing on my '74. I think it looks a lot better and a bit more aggressive than the stock chrome ones. Overall a great, straight looking car. 5 stars for sure! By the way, what size tires do you have?
