69 Camaro, Angry Pumpkin

I dropped by my motor shop and my motor is coming together. It's a procharged motor wet sump motor. I'm going to run a D1SC with the helical gear set. Mild cam so it's hopefully somewhat of a sleeper when it's idling. Wiseco pistons, K1 rods, ls7 heads with upgraded valves/springs. Fast 102 intake. Goals for boost are about 15lbs, we'll see depending on how much the motor makes on the dyno NA. Goal is 900hp hopefully a bit more. Taking a page from the ls9 and going with piston squirters. The car is a 69 camaro with a T56 from D&D. Short block is being assembled just waiting on heads. Woo hoo!!!

Just saying

Had to modify the stock style DSE control arms for the coilovers. Obviously not done.

Rear bars, tin work and tubs are next.

Very nice, who makes those wheels?

The wheels are Intro G-Cubes

That does tend to happen. Seems to be the biggest challenge...keeping a build under control.

:lol:

I'm salivating. Nice stuff!

Very Nice, Great Craftmanship

car is looking awesome!!

Thanks guys I appreciate it. It's been a drawn out process but hopefully this will be "done" in the next month or so.

Love it! Tell me how you ended up using ladder bars vs four link-- My aplogies if I missed it in the thread earlier. If you can keep the stance as you have it in mock up, it will be insane. Looking forward to seeing more on it as you move forward, especially the procharger setup.

Well, I had to be realistic with myself. Most of my "spirited" driving does not take place at autocross or road race tracks. I'm more of a straight line guy that really enjoys the pro-touring looks with the larger wheels and stance. It's kinda a frankenstein really. Drag style rear suspension, ATS front suspension, C6 brakes, LS motor with FI, and a 6 speed. It won't do anything really well lol. That being said I wouldn't change a thing. I love the look of pro touring cars but in the same breath I know I wouldn't use a DSE quadra link or similar style 4 link to it's intended use.

After all that to answer your question, a functional drag style 4 link would have all but eliminated my rear seat.

More likely than not it'll have to come up a bit but I agree.

Nice to see the updates! Keep up the great work.

Very Nice! Great work.

Love the work you are doing! Can't wait to see more! :cheers:

Great updates. The powder coater did a good job.

Some nice stuff right there. :thumbsup:

Looks mean. Great stance.

Oh what a great feeling that has to be!

Lovely. I love that you still have the vinyl top on the car. It's classic.

Very nice. How much power do you expect from your set-up? Looks great.

Thanks. Similar setup with less cubes and an auto made 770rwhp on a mustang dyno. I'm with good and hoping for 800+ to the wheels :D Still undecided on meth injection. I'm at the point where I have to draw the line so I can get the car done. Continually adding stuff has made this project go past my "deadline" and budget.

I crapped out and didn't finish the fuel system. It was over 90deg today and humid as hell.

Nice job looks bad azz! Make sure to post a vid of the dyno run :thumbsup:
