69 RS/SS Build - Lateral-g Forums

DKz Garage · #1 04-14-2015, 09:06 AM

Couple of more shots of the car as it was being taken apart. The previous owner had put in a 454 with a turbo 400 trans. He was a writer with one of the car magazines and did a write up on the motor "Budget build 454". He put the motor in the 69 and ran the hell out of it. The motor was strong and ran great, but I really had the itch to do an LS drivetrain.

Got started by cleaning up the firewall a bit and closing up some of the unneeded openings in the sheet metal. I will be welding in a DSE firewall panel to get things smoothed out.

Shoot....my son and I built one and it worked like charm. There is nothing wrong with a wooden cart.

Nice project. I sure do wish I mini-tubbed mine. 335's look great.
