BBC Santa Claus came early this year

Got this tri power, carbs need rebuild and intake needs hose connections and fuel lines, but i think it will be great once finished.

My -67 Camaro body is going to body shop to get new quarters and roof skin installed so it`s a long way to go before it is in a drivable condition.
It`s going to be a street car.

Always have loved the tri power and never have had a car with it. Very cool looking and working with progressive linkage.

good looking engine, what kind of rockers do you have, do the valve covers fit ok and not touching to rocker arms?
