A 390 is a boat anchor Ford motor. But wait a minute...all Ford motors are boat anchors....silly me. Except for the old 427 "side oilers".

I'll somewhat agree about the 390, depending on whats done to it. My dads 5700# pickup truck with a warmed over 428 smacked more than a few Mustangs and Corvettes upside the head in its day... you gotta beware of anything out there otherwise you might get bit.

The SS Camaro in 1967 was available with either the 350 or 396. According to one of my sources, 34,411 1967 SS Camaros were sold.

That 34,411 includes the Verts too. However only about 2/3 of that number were the 350. That's still a lot!
