- - Yet another 69 Camaro Build (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=39801)

Any updates on this build?

Car sold unfinished. Please think twice about buying a Dynacorn body nothing lines up. After buying several sets of fenders and looking at what all the small parts were going to cost it was best to move on. I am in the process of building a "real" Camaro now. I will start a new build thread on the current car.

Bummer Rob,

Have you found another candidate yet ?

Yep! I'm doing a 68 Camaro. I started a new build thread under "Real Steel". My real love is for 69s but the 68 has a ton a memory's. I traded the 69 I was building for this car.

Wow!!! what a small world, just seen your old car over at Classic Car Fusion, I am meeting up with Rob and Todd about finishing up the 69 Build, man your not kidding about the fit on the aftermarket Dynacorn parts I have had to modify ever part I have ever bought from them for my other cars. Can't wait to see your next build.

Thanks Marty! There is nothing like driving a 427 bb with a m21 and 3.73s lots of tire smoke! Lol

Yep, I had a buddy with a built 427 in an Cutlass back in the day and I remember that car being the burn out king.

I love seeing the less popular big blocks like 396/402 and 427s being used. 427s get my attention way more than a 454 or bigger. I'd really love to build a 427 with EFI and cruise it in a C3 vette one day. No idea why other than it just sounds right rolling off the tongue. The 409s are fun as well. I'm fortunate that the local car show once a month usually has a Impala SS show up with a built 409 in it. Car sounds soooooo good.

Have fun with it, Rob!

I'm with ya on the 427's ton of power and rev to the moon if built right. Same reason people love 302 and 327's! I have an original 62 date code 409/409hp. I need to find an impala to put this in! we found it in the father n laws shop after he passed.:( He knew the wife and I are car nuts and told us that "you need to look in the back of the shop their is a few things you might want" I found this 409 and 2ea. m21's!!!!http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psb0pxnbdb.jpg

Nice. The 409 would look good in just about anything in my opinion.

You could always buy this car and have it as a back up motor.

There might be someone looking for that original 409 (if it is actually a 409/409) for their car -- matching numbers sort of thing ya know.... and would be willing to pay a nice premium for it.

I think before I just "stuck it in" something -- I'd put an ad in Hemmings and maybe on some of the Chevy forums that would cater to that "era"... and see if you could find a buyer.
