70 Kinda Camaro, Gen 5 LT1/LT4

[oldgoat]

I thought I already started a thread here some time ago.
Short story, this is the continuation of a project that hit a wall and fell apart.
2 years ago I got the project jump started when I settled on a 70 Camaro for the shell.
Here is a summary of the good stuff.

Gen V C7 dry sump LT1 with LT4 supercharger.
Scratch built 2x3 tube chassis.
C7 front suspension and C5/7 rear suspension.
C7 Grand Sport brakes, 6 piston/4 piston calipers.
2012 Camaro TR6060 transmission.
2004 GTO center section with CTS-V axle shafts.
C5 steering rack.
2017 Camaro dash, and all the electronics to drive the Gen6 creature comforts.

I got the bulk of the exhaust built. 304 stainless, cut and weld. Still needs to be ground and maybe polished. It came out better than expected. I still need to figure out how it will terminate. I like the idea of building some sort of diffuser that will also house a single backup light.
After some trial and error I built an air intake for the A/C system. I also bought and installed Gen 6 brake and clutch pedals along with a ZL1 booster and master. Pretty cool, the clutch master is built into the clutch pedal pivot.
I have been searching for a few months for the right deal on OEM Recaros with heat and cool. A pair finally popped up out of a 21 1LE with less than a thousand miles on it. They are in much better shape than I could have hoped for an half the price of well used ones with blown air bags. I spent some time Saturday and mocked them up along with the console. Purely by accident the shifter comes through the hole in just about the right spot. I have been sweating this for a long time.
I stumbled upon a guy parting a 2SS with a bunch of other stuff I needed. I was able to grab the E-brake actuator, power window mechanisms, inner door wiring to tie everything together and a factory amp.
The window motor assemblies are going to work slick. I had a pair out of a CTS that came close, but these will be much better. Not near as much fab as I anticipated.


This project has gone through a huge evolution as time goes by. The pictures will be the best way to explain.
