427ci LS2 sleeved, dry sump oil pump, engine build & install, 69 Camaro

I went to the historic races at PIR today and bumped into Sieg We spent some time talking to the mechanic and driver of this nice 1968 Z28.

This car won it's class by almost a full lap running against mostly Corvettes and Mustangs. This car was way faster than the other cars...the driver was on the edge at all times. The mechanic told me the engine runs up over 9K. It had a 4:56 rear axle and he went 155 mph down the main straight. I do have a video clip of it running wide open that I will post up later.











Dry sump tank in the trunk and a fuel cell...




I thought of Dave (Flash68) when I saw these side pipes... very cool...This car sounded amazing going down the straight!




Jerico 4 speed transmission




302 pumped to the hilt. The driver said it had over 500HP but would not give us the actual number. 5 stage dry sump pump, step headers, titanium valves, Holley carb.






I really liked this picture.

It was my first and I'll be back. Wish I could make it today even at the forecasted 93* to shoot more pics and practice with the video side of the camera.

Hopefully Dale's addicted and going back today to feed us more pics and video.

We can all appreciate what this guy has done... that's the whole package there. If there is anyone local here in Portland Vancouver... the 67 will be running again today in group 5.

Just to put it into perspective of how fast this car was... he was running a 1 min 24 sec lap time. The average time for the rest of the guys in the class was low 1:30's. The car had 15" wheels and 10-3/4" diameter disc brakes and he was running 155 mph down the front and back straight. Very impressive.

The driver was talking to a group of guys after the second race and said "you're not going fast when your hooked up, it's only when you feel like your driving on syrup that you know your going fast"
