The car looks great! Reminds me of my old '68rs, was about the same color. But yours is MUCH nicer.:cheers:

Beautiful car!

I'm building a very similar 67 with a 489...what headers are you running? And do you have power steering? How's their fitment and ground clearance?

Thanks,
Jason

wheel combo--We went with Budnik Tiller 5 wheel (17x11 on the rear and 17 x 8 up front)on all 4 corners, run the BF Goodwrench KD' (315's in the rear) and (245's up front)

engine combo--running with a Merlin 3 BB--540ci with BB2 Brodix heads and dual plane intake with becool radiator and fans and the vintage air front runner system.

before the change to the new dual plane and 100o cfm carb, off the flywheel dynoed 760 hp and 744 tq with a 10 1/4 compression--and not real wild cam--allowing us to idle around 700 rpm with the ac on.

today more like 700 hp i am hopefull the torque will not be affected as much.

You are very welcome car looks killer and I like your style in BB!! (I'm sure she still rips up the road with ease. lol:wow:)
Very nice set up. Any videos of her at start up or idling? THANKS!:lateral: :cheers:

I have always liked this car and the new hood makes it look even better!! Are you going to paint it this season or will that be a winter project?

Good luck on you 67 build, look forward to seeing pics--let me know if you ever have questions that i could help you with.

I took some BB super comp hooker headers for a 68 camaro and had them modified a little due to the raised ports Brodix has, depending on your heads, you may not have to do any modifications.

i do have Power Steering-i am running with DSE's ceramic coated unit--amazing the responsiveness, it is still a tight fit, will try to send some pics later. gb

Anthony, I am saving some pennies as we speak to paint the hood, with this economy everyhting is much slower for me when spending on this car. thank man.
