C6 Suspension and Drivetrain under a 1969 Camaro under construction @ Ironworks.

Looks like this might be the new direction. Orange Paint with the Gripp Equipped Drop Kick wheels. Should be interesting.



Looking at a Whipple Supercharged LSX engine with the Wegner Front drive for the billet Dailey Dry sump pan.



Man I like orange.

'63 Grand Sport meets '69 Camaro...


Nice look.

I like the orange better than the green. Those whipples make some serious power, Kurt just put our blower test mule on the dyno last week, first pull it made 962 hp and over 800 lb/ft@3,500 rpm, the timing was only 13* and it was lean, we had to stop since it pitched the water pump pulley off.

Glad to see there's wind in the sails of this project again. Sad to see someone have to let it go.

You will have to get me some info on the Kurt Urban Crate engine package. That sounds like it would be right up our alley. We are running the Whipple because we are have a really good connection in the fact the owner of the car know the owner and I met him a few weeks ago at a dirt race. And the owner of Whipple is looking to have us do some custom work on a big hp 57 Chevy he is building.

Well I'm a little behind on updating this project but let me see what I can get handled this Morning.

We did our first months worth of work for the new owner, Troy. We are working to try and get the engine as low as possible with the Dailey Dry sump pan that is on it. We have a ton of clearance under the pan but the limiting factor is the bellhousing. So we have been exploring going to a relocated starter with a triple 7.25" clutch from Tilton or QuarterMaster.





The customer really wants to run a bad ass supercharged engine and he has great contacts with the guys at Whipple. So we have been exploring how to get a 2.9 - 4.0L super charger on this car with out having it look like a prostreet car. We have been playing with different ideas to try and make it really slick. If you notice this blower and manifold combo has a rear entry throttle body with completely hidden injectors in the manifold. This game plan would be awesome with the rear billet aluminum firewall we are laying out to design. Plus this low profile manifold and pulley system from Wegner might keep things under the hood.




The blower manifold mock up in this picture is a little high still but, like I said we think we can drop the engine 2" still. The sheetmetal is just a mock up to begin designing a billet firewall that will be machine from 5/8 plate and become a lightened structural member of the car.




You can see it still looks a little "Prostreet" with the full intercooler and such.


You can see the way the aluminum firewall will set in the car around the designed frame pieces once it is built. It will go in from the front and bolt in from the interior.



In this picture you can see how we have brought the upper tube crossmembers back to the reinforcement plate that goes inside the tailpanel.



In this picture you can see the mock up fuel tanks we set up to define the perfect shape before we send the these to Rick's Tanks to make the dual pump system for this car to handle the Horsepower.
