69 Camaro, Project Money Pit

[akrapovic]

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


Motor is done, just waiting to install, wire and plumb the d1sc/supercharger.

sub frames burner in. Cage should be done in the next week or so.

Thanks guys. I'm sure many can relate but this has spiraled out of control a bit.

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





Rear bars, tin work and tubs are next.

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