Hello,
I was employed at Performance Machine in San Luis Obispo California back in the 70's as a crank grinder. I recall seeing at least two small journal 350 crankshaft that came from 67 Camaro's. Unfortunately I cannot find my book with the forging numbers in it. But I can validate that one of these came from a co-workers 67 SS-350 which I was familiar with and believe was a fairly early production as it did not have the traction bar on the rear end. This small journal 350 crank hung hung on the rack the entire time I worked there as no one wanted the small journal cranks that would not fit the 4 bolt main blocks. During my time there and since then I have I have collected many crankshafts. The one that I find the most interesting is a cast iron 283 crank with a notch in the flange like 302's have and some steel 283's have. I bet this will start some discussion! I can post photos. Is there any information on this site about the special 67 SS-350 dimpled connecting rods.
