Hey guys I recently purchased a 1967 Camaro from Arizona, but I am from Wisconsin. My dad and I plan on doing a wheels up restoration but with a 454 BB and everything that goes with it!

Sorry for the bad quality of the pic I took it with my cell phone.

Welcome to the site, I'm also doing a 454 swap into my '69, pulled mine out of a GMC dually. Nothing like a good old fire breathing 454 to wake things up!

Make sure it spins the correct direction. My understanding is for twin engined boats, one runs in reverse. I'm not sure how that works, maybe the starter spins opposite direction and reverse firing order?

I highly doubt that. I'm sure the change in direction is in the gear set.
