Good to see the Camero again... only concern I have is the cut front cross member and the strength lost doing that but the rest of it was well executed.
Great car, I just built a 1969 firebird for my cousin, 505 Pontiac power, tremec tkx 500 transmission, custom fab headers, 12 bolt rear 373. Finishing this car this week I have a 1971 Camaro with a bbc632 with 3 stage's of nos, ATI t400 transmission with a brake,3600 convertor, 12 bolt rear 4.10 ,4 inch exhaust with tail pipes.
What a Mean car you have man, the look of that 69, the wheels with the dog dish caps, the hood! Looks amazing, perfectly proporcionate and the sound! At first i thought those mufflers were flowmasters instead of straight through's but by the sound ain't no way they are flowmasters 😂 they must be whatever the brand, but straight's and sound so deep but quite at idle, just perfect! Hope to see it next time making some noise! Love the car brother💪
Cool to see the OG Camaro back out hurting some feelings. That said I think the car will be really cool set up as a DZ302 Z28 tribute with white rally stripes and front and rear spoilers. A friend had a ‘69 Z28 just like this in high school in the early ‘70’s. Yeah I’m really old.
No way to keep it stock looking with the Sunoco hood, so might as well do a polished drag pack on it. RC Comp has several styles that would look awesome.
My favorite car that you own, 1969 Camaro/SS/Z28,COPO, is one of the hottest Muscle cars ever built. 1969/70 429 Boss. 1971 Hemi Cuda.. also sick muscle cars..
Run your alternator flipped backwards, if possible...tbh, I'd like to see that 6 bolt LS block go in there! Is that class legal or no..? Doubtful, but a thought! After I had my 1st built LS that went 10.3x's on motor, 8.50 on 200 shot, but should've been capable of high 9's on motor, with a looser converter! That lil 402" LS made almost 50hp more, to the tires, than my dad's solid roller 540! It's 10.5:1 pump gas, but a .72x solid roller, and those c.i, I just feel it should've made more than a motor that's almost 140c.i smaller, both had good aftermarket parts, but I could and did daily mine for 3yrs with a 8" converter...I just put a iron 408, done by Mike Lough, in my 44k mile, 99 Camaro SS, w/a FIS 91/102 T4, to keep a/c. Pretty much same, 11.5:1, Dart Pro1 225's out of the box, had TFS heads on the other motor, of course a turbo cam from Cam Motion, hopefully won't sound like a turd, I want exhaust and for it to sound good! Hopefully I can finish it, I'm going through a divorce, and it's running me into the ground!! I really need a tig welder to finish the car and get it out of here, so I can move too. Sorry, no other shitbag is putting his hands on my car! Smart thing to do would be part it out or something, but I'm WAY too deep, and I'm already losing my home, my wife, time with my kids, basically life as I've known it for the last 13+yrs.! It sucks, prolly one of the hardest things I've gone through! Thanks for the video, I think the Sunoco style good looks killer! I'm going the same route, but they wanted over a grand to build me a tall and wide Sunoco hood, on a hinged frame! VFN sells one... but due to my aftermarket radiator having to mount fwd of the core support, I have no hood latch anymore... Hopefully it'll get finished, I need exhaust done, charge pipes fitted and v bands welded on, sfc's welded in, and the relay for my fuel pumps wired up, it'll be ready to fire! Already a good tune in it... just need help and it sucks man! I have to daily this car now, after my wife sold my daily out from under me! In a bad spot, kinda stuck, but it's getting finished!! I'm lookin for a LS 2 step, CO2 boost controller for the car. Trying to keep as stock looking as possible, but no way I'm getting a harness thru my stock seat!
If you can I think the stock looking rims look great . I would use braided line on the tranny cooler maybe a T400 that you can leave in second gear on the brake and the nitrous also I like how you took the rear Morrison valve covers off I think that car is so freaking good looking just the way it is without the Z28 decals that is a great looking Hood looks like the new Pro Stock setup. you guys got me back into drag racing
Sick Car! I literally have the replica of yours in the garage. How is she on staying cool with the BBC? I have a dual electric fan on a new two row with the bigger tubes and it gets a little hot in the summer at stop lights.
I have issues keeping mine cool especially during the summer. It's an iron 468 and no where near that radical but does have a 2 row aluminum radiator and as big as I could fit electric fan. 210 is normal in the heat for it
I recall you thought the casis of the Camaro may be twisted in some sorta way. I hope not and hope you will get this into 8s making it even more interesting.
I'm torn between calling you guys builders or artists, somehow have to get Webster dictionary to put "buildarts" in their dictionary with a HP Depot T-Shirt pic as the only def. and that's that!!!
Jordan.....what do you attribute the time difference between the Vette and Camaro? Getting close to a half a second is a ton!!! I realize the obvious, but am interested into your insight!!
Change the upper a arms to ones from SPC. They don’t use shims for adjustment, they have turnbuckles. You can then use a short bolt and stover lock nuts. Way more header clearance then.
The fast class requires stock arms. So if I ever return the car back to run in FAST I’d just have to change the arms again. Trying to keep it just and engine swap away from being legal. Thanks though!
As a kid I thought rubber on the quarters was the coolest thing. Some of that rubber has been on that car since the early 2000s! I’ll never clean it off!
Neat, hood looks great. Random question… I live on the west coast and would love to go to a FAST race and I was wondering which race would you say has the least chance of getting cancelled or rained out each year? (or maybe rain outs aren’t much of a problem?) Thanks.
How well does the split mono springs drive down the road and would they be comfortable in 200 mile drive?. I need to decide on my 69 Camaro suspension drag and drive car.
Man. Leaving so much power on the table, not using a Mike Laws Twin Blade carburetor. I've seen them destroy the best carb builder's setups every time on the dyno. One just kicked the shit out of Roush's carb "gurus" suposedly killer carbs. Like by 50 horsepower on a renowned carb builder's dyno while Roush's guys watched it happen.
