The fuel system is fairly easy. The GM crate engine harness comes with a fuel engine pump controller. Use a Gen 5 ZL1 fuel pump in a Ricks tanks and your done.

On the FEAD we are using a Holley adaptor for the A/C. Then the DSE subframe need notched a little bit

The GM crate engine is a 2016 based engine so the old bricks and lid. Once I know my power steering system works I'll post the details.

Mark, thanks for the info! I read the Super Chevy articles online and personally it's good to know Sled Alley, Holley and yourself are working on solutions to simplify an LT based swap. The LT-4 is hard to beat for the :G-Dub:

I finally got this car running.

The LT4 runs great. Lots of power easy to drive.

Still some issues to refine, but overall it is a great car.

Mark

Any close ups of it? Interior,engine bay,brake set up etc?

Excellent.
I love the OEM look and feel, no one does it like you.

Building this all under good patina is my dream car come true.

Appreciate all you share, even if I'm not a GM guy.

how do you like the ultimate headers? If i ever switch i might go with them. Im using stock position mounts though and i didnt know if the steering column shaft would interfere.

You and me both!

Looking forward to seeing this on the Hall of Fame Tour Next month...
Looks to be a lot of camaro's going this year.
Goodguy Ed

If we could just ditch Ed and Greg Weld.....

Sema 2017
 

Will gunner or hellfire be at Sema?
Going for the first time and really want to see a stielow camaro in person.
They are such a inspiration. I love all the modern gm stuff worked into a old car.

:P

It will be in the Holley booth at SEMA. It smells better now that we got the 11 dead rats out of it..

I'm going to stick close to Ed - his credit card works......

The 11 that you found...

Now that you have some track time on your car (and I suppose some street time as well)............what are your thoughts on the LT4?

I ask the question for the simple fact you have built some pretty outrageous combinations for comparison.

Additionally, what did you use for an intercooler?

Thanks,

Tim

LOL..........

quite a bit of info for sure, got to read it again, awesome work as always Mark....

Lt4
 

Bag for the buck the LT4 is great. I feel it makes a solid 700 HP with headers and open exhaust. For about $14k you get engine, harness and controller with a cal. To build a LS7 that makes 700 HP you will be way over that and not have a warranty. Mine also idles at 650 RPM find a LS7 that will do that.

The Thomson 427 LS9 based engine are wicked. But will run around $40K. But if you want 900 HP and 900 Ft*lb they are the best. We have ran those very hard with NO issue. But we developed that package for 10 years.

I feel the LT4 program will get stronger over the years. The LS9s were only in Corvette ZR1s for 8 years. Not a lot of cars or spare parts. The LT4 is in stock in Corvette Z06s, ZL1 Camaros, ZL1-1LE Camaros and CTS-V Caddys and will be for a while. It is also available in wet sump and dry sump. I also have the luxury of seeing the future products. So I felt it was time to jump to the new engine.

Mine is all stock and works very well. (A stock LT4 powered a 3800 lb Camaro around the Nurburgring in 7:13, it also crushed the Car and Driver's Lightning Lap times) The Camaros have way better cooling than the Corvettes.

Now the downside. The LT4 is all new and we had to prototype:

Engine mount
Headers
A/C mount
Power Steering Mount
Trans Cross member (Same as LS)

I worked with Holley on all of that so Holley will have a kit in the spring.

The rad and intercooler package is from C&R racing. Top shelf parts and people, but not cheap.

Over all this is one of my favorite builds. No painters or engine builders so no drama. My only outside shop was Sled Alley and Matt did a killer job. Best guy I have ever worked with.

We have all been there where the painter or engine builder is saying "it will be ready in 2 weeks" or "we have more time in it than we thought we would". :warning:

Mark

Pro-patina touring at its best!

Great info Mark. :thumbsup:

Mark,

I cannot say I can find what rear gear you chose. Was it the 3.25 you have used before? Curious if you duplicated OE in terms of cruise RPM.

Thanks,

Tim

Looking forward to seeing this car in person at SEMA this year. Protina

The car is all tuned up ready to go to SEMA. If your going look for it in the Holley booth then OUSCI.

We had a chance to chassis dyno the car. It made great power for a stock engine with Hooker Headers, Large inlet tube and a Cal.

Mark,
Did you do any tuning at all? Or just use the Connect and Cruise kit with the factory tune? I am currently working with V8 Speed and Resto on swapping my 540 BBC over to a GenV LT4 and purchased the Connect and Cruise kit. I purchased the Ultimate Headers and Drive Junky kit for the Dry Sump LT4. Awesome build!

Regards,

Larry

Love al of the builds but this one is definitely my favorite 👍

Hi Mark, you are not using ZR1 CC brakes? What braking system are you using, how would you compare them in stopping and weight? Gunner looks pretty awesome in original paint.

Great pic! Love the flat hood...

I used a 3.5 rear axle gear ratio and at 80 MPH I'm at 2000 RPM in 0.5 6th gear.

1 - 5 are tight and 6th is a big overdrive.

My best mileage on the Goodguys Hall of Fame tour was 24 MPG rolling at 80.

Mark

If you follow the instructions the calibration with the kit is very good. I did a custom induction tube, swapped to tilted supercharger bricks, Did the 2017 "Big Lid" and did a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) fan. If you stay with a 4 inch induction tube it should work great.

I love the sign Doc Stielow for mayor!

Having followed this car for many 100's of miles..... I came to realize that in my humble opinion -- it was way cooler in it's natural patina than the three high zoot painted cars in the group..... That's not baggin on them at all - because I've never driven a car that I liked more than HellFire... It was just that this car is such a sleeper.... and to me that has an undeniable appeal. Once again "the man" has laid down tracks for others to follow.

Mark,
Can you expand on the "Tilted" Supercharger Bricks? I've read the magazine articles on your build, but don't remember seeing this.

Regards,

Larry

That's my Dad Don Stielow and he is Mayor of my old home town, North Kansas City Missouri. He is in his second term and doing a great job.

Mark

Rojewski
 

Weld

Always fun to hang out with you. I hope to be chasing your '40 next year! Thanks for the kind words.

I had a lot of fun building this car but I kind of copied Gordon's Rojewski's blue Camaro. With out doing paint and custom engine build this projects can go fairly fast.

Mark

See the attached link for photos.

It shows the "tilted Bricks" and the bigger intercooler lid. The big bummer is you can't just buy the bricks you have to purchase a whole new blower.

Mark

?????

LOL ---- that would take some doin' on my part!

I'm not sure the poor old '32 Sedan will ever recover..... HAHAHAHAHA. You have no idea what I just spent having the original Danville Dukes plaque repaired!

I just jacked up the crate LS3 in the '40 to a Don Hardy 550hp..... mostly in hopes that I can keep within sight of your tail lights!

I used Stop Tech brakes on this car. I have used them before on Red Dehilnand they worked great. Iron rotors have more pad compounds available and do not need as much cooling as CCM. If you run CCM you NEED big cooling ducts.

The Stop Tech stuff is great. No issues. Great brake feel and they look great.
