Updating my '69 Camaro

[Rybar]

Sorry for not updating this for a while, been busy last few months with a business move and house renos. As some of you saw in Raj's (Canrc) thread we got out for a little cruise this past weekend. New motor is running great. Finally opened up 3-4th gears and she's got some good top end.

As for the last few questions asked, I think my diff width was around 55" if I remember correctly, and Gav I'm not sure how to get more dish on the front wheels other than changing backspacing and rim half offsets. Or a wider shell? As for my dyno #'s the larger injectors did not net any more power than my original numbers posted from the new motor.

Here's a few pics from the cruise, you may have seen some in Raj's thread already. FYI Raj's car sounds insane, I hope he posts a video soon for you guys to hear.

Again, thanks very much that's a humbling comment on a home built car that's not anywhere near the calibre of most builds on this site.

Thanks man, glad your back and updating yours as well. I think we both completed our cars initial builds around the same time. Only makes sense to update them at the same time too.

And this is just for you Raj, some crappy Blackberry pics of my engine bay completed. I forgot to take some last weekend with my Nikon. I realized I never posted any finished photos of it.

Doesn't get much better than that! Two awesome 69's. Congrats on the motor #'s---that is impressive, as are the looks of the new motor in the car bro---way to go. You've got to be pumped. Start enjoying it as much as possible now and don't change anything else for awhile.

motor looks great in there. Good idea mounting the steam line to the overflow.
