I have a 69 Camaro that will be a Ls2/6 speed car and I have plans on using a Procharger. I have seen the kit from procharger to fit in the 67-69 Fbodys but I really dont like the location of the blower in regards to the inlet location. For those that have not seen, it is similar to the 04-06 GTO/2010 Camaro kit mounted high on the driver side.

I love the location of the head unit on the 97-04 Corvette kit. Does anybody have experience with trying to use this kit in a 67-69 Fbody? Will it work or not???

Thanks
Troy

Tory, I'm not sure about fitting the 97-04 corvette Kit in your engine bay. However I would scour the net for pictures of Vette intallations and then start to measure and look at your own bay to see it you can make it work..

I did the same thing when installing the twin geardriven Prochargers into my 1977 Camaro engine bay..

You could also consider a geardrive for your 67-69 Fbody. Have a look at Franks BBC F3 Camaro... http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/in...topic=124048.0

You could replicate this with an F2 or F1R if you didn't want to go the F3R route.....

I have done something similar but may need a third radiator or ducting to aid cooling on my SBC 2nd Gen.

Remember the geardrive is more efficient regarding parasitic losses than the side slinger (67-69 Fbodybelt drive) or the reverse drive (Late Corvettes)

The main issue with the reverse drive is although you have a shorter belt and forward facing inlet the radiator height and depth can become an issue.

The main issue with the gear drive is although you have no belt and forward facing inlet the radiator will have to be moved or split into two...

I hope this helps.

Bad ass set-up and thanks for the input. I did find another 69 runing the 97-04 C5 kit. The biggest I want to go is the F1A head unit. My 99 Camaro has a P1 @ 8lbs of boost and made 565/503 at the wheels. I want to be in the 700-800 range with a F1. I know I could hit it with the D1 but the F1 sounds sooooo sweet!
