Avanti 327

It's interesting as I was at a party this afternoon where there was a 67 Camaro convertible with a 300 hp 327 and I asked the owner if it had solid lifters and the reply was yes. Of course 47 years after it was built, who knows.

Although solids may have been installed 'after the fact' in your friend's Camaro engine, The 300 horsepower 327 was the 'gentlemans' 327,...and it definitely left the factory with hydraulic valve lifters.

Agree, Chevrolet literature says only the two top HP versions had solid lifters.That makes sense as those that purchased the lower HP versions were not in the noise/adjustment/all out racing mode. Bob

A 300 hp is about as wild as you would want on todays gas. with 10:1 compression. The next version up had 11.5:1 and wouldn't operate without racing fuel today.
