Looks good, but honestly not feeling those wheels. maybe some nice polished or satin centers

I stuck the LS6 engine in the 1968 Corvette sunday.
I used an LS7 clutch flywheel, with a BBC bell housing.
Machined up a mount for the ball stud on the block.
Our instruments will look like this.
We'll be driving this on Power Tour 2008.
Thanks

Nice ride!!!
Those wheels although do absolutely nothing for that car!

Those stock calipers and rotors look soooo out of place with those huge rims.

And you'll be tearing off that flexy flyer shiat called steeroids in no time. Cheap chinese $15 rod ends, sleeves and extra thin brackets for that nice flexing steering feeling. Check out the speedwaymotors site and then add the cost for the sleeves, rod ends, lock nuts, oversize steering shaft bearing (3/4) and the tie rod end adapters and you will see that ít's a couple hundred bucks worth of parts in a 1500 dollar package. I installed that system for a friend and redesigned all the brackets because it's just downright dangerous driving that at high speeds.

To go for that pro touring theme you should have really bought a set fo front and rear coil overs w/ the tubular arms and the offset trailing arms from van steel instead of the buggy springs.
Also why are you using cam exxentrics with adjustable strut rod sleeves? I'd get rid of the cam bolts and get some square plates w/ a 5/8 hole and use a normal bolt. Or does that bracket have vertical slots instead of horizontal ones (like stock) so you can change the inner pivot height?

Paint & Body look awesome

Yea, I've already reworked the steering stuff and eliminated the crazy u joint set-up. Big brakes are coming. The eccentrics have been replaced with plates as those things rotate under cornering forces and no need for em with threaded rods. It was bought as an unfinished project so most of the junk was there. We also ditched the fresh small block in favor of the modded LS6.
I wish every project we do could have the best of everything, but it's not always in the budget.

Yes, the eccentrics rotate, that's why i mentioned it.

Looking forward to seeing it w/ big brakes, what are you going w/?

I'm working on a 69 vert for a buddy of mine, same suspension and all but w/ flaming river manual r&p and after working out the bugs and cutting and rewelding the entire carrier (it didn't fit and the geometry was off, rack sitting crooked) I msut say it steers a lot tighter than the steeroids thing and surprisingly light given that it's a manual setup. The tie rod (bump steer) geometry isn't perfect on it (the steeroids w/ the long rods isn't perfect either but w/ the small angular effect on the long rods it's a bit better than the flaming river...will see how it pans out when finished)

I was thinking 6 piston ZO6 calipers. That Steeroids is junk.
Had to make new brackets, the rack also has a couple tight spots in it.
Any idea where their rack comes from?
Getting closer.

I know his wife said NO, but, that car would look KILLER with some black sidepipes!!!


At least it's a driver now.

The car made its 1st public appearance at the 2008 Chicagoland Goodguys show in the BFG Display.
With only 2 miles on it, we set 3rd fastest time in the autocross.
(vendor class)
The new Baer 6P 14" six piston brakes arrived today.
Pics soon.

That's freakin' awesome,looking forward to the pics!
