69 pro touring Yenko
 

I have been on this site for a couple of years now talking and learning from many of you. This site has defiantly helped it's vendors as I have dealt with many from this site. (with great results) The car I have been building is a 69 Camaro with a ProCharged intercooled LS 418 should put between 650 to 700 to the rear. The tranny is a new Rockland T56 6 speed, the rear is a Moser 12 bolt with a G bar suspension, front is a AME subframe and the brakes are 14" Wilwoods. Colors will be black with white Yenko stripes with all of the emblems and the wheels are Fiskes just like on the Mule.

Hood
 

Oh Yeah, that's not the hood that is going on the car.

Nice project! That should be killer when it's on the road, looking forward to watching the build.:thumbsup:

Well that's a relief! J/K, looks to be a killer project. Look forward to more pics on the build. :lateral:

Sounds like a great build. Good luck!

Sounds like you have a great vision for the car! Good luck with the build. Should be striking!:thumbsup:

Nice build, post some bigger pics if you can. Glad you are not using the large cowl hood. :thumbsup:

Like Eric said. I'm looking forward to watching/following this build.
If you can post larger pics, if possible, that would be cool.:thumbsup:

Bigger pictures

WOW! What a build! i will be watching this one.

Couple of questions for you:
Did you need to modify anything on the ame frame or move the radiator to use the pro-charger?
Are you using the stock pro-charger bracket?
Where did you get the air inlet that is on the pro-charger?
How much clearance do you have to the pro-charger to the radiator?
Is that a d1 or f1?

David

me too. What kit/bracket/blower are you using? Looks awesome.

Jody

its the same kit as mine. Its the C6 corvette procharger kit. Mine is a D1SC. I think it will fit without moving the radiator forward.

nice start.. so whats yenko about it?

This is going to be a Bad Boy when it is finished. Tony has bought the best of everything for this car.

Talk to me about your intake, elbow and throttle body. Who made that elbow?
That car is going to be sick:thumbsup:

It's a f-1 procharger using the corvette brackets. The inlet hat was the toughest part to find, I will have to look up the receipt and give you guys the part #. Because it being the F-1 I had to modify the core support to get enough room to have adequate cooling (not wanting to take any chances on cooling). Also when running RS headlights it's a challenge to install a intercooler and piping. I will be making a cover like DSE sells to go over the top of the radiator and attatch to the fenders, so it doesn't look so busy up front. No modifications to the AME sub and there is a good 1/4 to a 1/2" from hat to fan. The paint and emblems will be Yenko. Some of the metal work is roughed in it will be perfected when it comes back apart.

looks like its going to be pretty awesome when its done.. you going to do the black and white houndstooth interior with sYc on the headrest?

69
 

I thought about that, but I ended up going with the Recaros, and a extra hide of leather to match the back seat with.
In the beginning it was going to be a ProCharged LS7, that would of went with the Yenko theme quite a bit better. You know how things change along the way though.
There is not going to be alot of bling bling under the hood, more of a satin black and titanium look, kinda like the style of Stuart Adams blue 69. I am burned out on polishing things.

elbow
 

Try this on the intake elbow http://www.intakeelbows.com/

Thanks.

Did you move the core support about an 1"-1 1/2"? Please keep the pics coming? What radiator will you be using? Also, I would love to know the part number for the inlet hat. Very cool build!

Nice project. Keep the pics coming :thumbsup:

Awesome project Tony. This is going to be one sweet ride...

69
 

Thanks for all of the compliments guys.
The core support is in the same spot, I cut it in half then boxed in the sides to move the radiator out about 3/4" to 1". The radiator came from Frank at Prodigy, I had to move the top hose inlet up and in so the hose would clear the inlet hat, I also had to build a little box and lower the filler neck so it would clear the hood and soon to be filler panel. I will get you the inlet hat part # and a phone# to the place I bought it from. I spent $50 sending inlet hats that wouldn't work back. Also looked into the one that Jay Doerfler is using on his build but I found out he was using the smaller blower. I could have moved the motor back a little further but it still would have still been tight.

Very nice Tony. I'm digging it.
Keep us posted please!:cheers:

69
 

I lied, the radiator is moved 2 3/8" out from the stock location.

The inlet hat came from east coast supercharging 606-752-0321. It is for their Paxton SCT600 2007 to 2008 GM truck kit. You can see a picture of it installed on a truck. The picture shows it to be aluminum, I was told that they only make it in plastic but is is a good quality piece.

Thanks.

Do you know if that is a 4" inlet on that F1?

Keep up the good work! This is a great build. :thumbsup:

inlet hat
 

The inside diameter on the inlet hat for a F-1 is 3.75"

Recaro seats
 

Finally got the new seats and harness dummied up.

Very nice.:thumbsup:
What type of center console is that?

Very nice I like those seats.

seats- NOICE!
 

Seats
 

After I was assured from many people on this site that they were comfortable, I went thru Motorsports Seats and ordered a pair. They carry many brands of seats and usually give you a little bit of a discount if you tell them you are a member of Lateral G. I don't think they offer it in anything but black, but I think you can get them without the leather and have them done the way you want. Thanks, for the compliment.

Center console
 

I don't have a center console in it, not sure if I will put one in or not. I am open for suggestions.

Just went back to look at those pics. I see that there is no center console there now. lol:_paranoid
My opinion, I say go with a center console. Good luck!:thumbsup:

G bar sway bar installed, Katech valve covers
 

Just killing a little time waiting on the painter, making sure everything fits.

Love the intake. Where did you get the throttle body and adapter for the carb base?

Tyler

I had one like that came from http://www.6061.com/

Intake elbow
 

This is where it came from.

Finally an update!
 

After waiting a few months for the painter to finish up his last project, he finally got on my 69. So far it has been stripped, all of the body panels have been lined up (some of the gaps had to have welding rod added) and now the blocking begins. I guess the good thing is that the painter only works on one at a time.
I have been wanting to start gathering up the new interior pieces but I decided to hold off until I absolutly need them, that way if something doesn't fit they can't say it went bad by sitting in a spare bedroom for 6 months.

Painted
 

Well after staring at Rob Johnsons old car enough, I sent all of the Yenko emblems back and bought all Z28 stuff. The car will now be a black with white stripes RS Z28 with all of the factory emblems and trim. I know there are a couple of them already done like this. But it's what I like!
