So i bought this car a month or so ago from Chad Fletcher & have been going back & forth with myself on how I want to do this car. After over building my previous 69 and not wanting to drive it because i was always afraid something was going to happen I've decided to keep this one fairly simple. It will be stock in appearance from the outside with the full DSE treatment underneath, bigger wheels/tires, and I'm going to run a LSX 427 based motor with a Tremec 5 speed. The interior will get some new Recaro's up front, DSE dash, roll/harness bar & new gauges, otherwise pretty much stock. Here are a few pictures of what I'm starting with....

You stated, "Bigger wheels." What size?? And I think those DPE wheels will set it off just right.:thumbsup: Right choice.

I'll be running an 18x12 rear and 18x10 front with BFG KDW's. Yeah, I can't wait to actually see the wheel :_paranoid

I like that engine Chris. Very nice.
Is this an engine being offered by Katech? I've heard good things about Katech.:thumbsup:

Yes, it's there new LSX 427 there building. I had there Street Attack LS7 in my other camaro and loved it.

Very nice!!!:thumbsup:

The engine sure does make some nice power. Kind of pretty too!

I'm liking everything so far love the black wheels they are very cool should be a nice ride when it's finished

As of yesterday the mini tubs & roll bar is in and undercoated. The fire wall is sanded down and ready for some paint. I am now having problems with the wheel fitment because I'm using the Baer Exterme Plus but I think with Franks help we have the solution. Thanks Frank, your help is greatly appreciated!!! I have also decided I should of named this "Project Indecisive" since I could not make up my mind on the motor so yesterday the decision was made to keep the 396 and to guarantee that I ordered the Billet Tru Trac system in black anodized, were painting the block in an aluminum, and I ordered fabricated moroso aluminum valve covers with breather tubes, 14" air cleaner cover and swivel thermostat housing. Now that I've spent some money to dress up this motor I have to keep it.....for now :unibrow: Also ordered a TKO-600 5 speed yesterday and that should be shipping today :thumbsup:
