Thought I would start a new thread on my next project, a 1970 Camaro RS. The car is pretty rust free/ solid. Nothing real special, the car currently has a 350 from a 74 Z/28 and a 10 bolt Posi. Finished my 69 last year and really have the itch to jump into something else. Learned a lot from the last build and will probably go "all-in" with the suspension this time around. My 69 has a Chris Alston 4-link and warmed over stock sub-frame. Still trying to sort the handling / suspension out....like driving a go-cart!
I'll be going all DSE front and rear on this build, LSA and a 4L80e trans., nicer wheels, big brakes, etc, etc....Convinced my wife that I am building it for her, hence the auto trans.....
Can't wait to dig into it...my 69 is not Synergy Green....my painter picked a green base coat/ clear coat from the BASF chart..... I think it's about as close to Synergy Green as you can get without doing a Tri-coat.

I'd go with a higher gear. I have 3.91's and I wish I had more like 4.33's, faster acceleration and deceleration would be nice. On the highway, the OD will take care of cruise.
Running around in second, I want more gear.
Get a paddle shifter, too. Lots mo fun.

The 3.90 gear is great..... my 69 is set-up this way..... and it launches hard!! Paddle shift for sure!!
