LT4, C6 suspension 69 Camaro.
I’ve been building this car for about 10 years.
I have had a few in the past, been modifying suspension and engines since I was young. I remember when the Tuckers were building their first project and Mark was building the Mule.
This project has gone through quite a few changes along the way.
My current configuration is a Z06 dry sump LT4, C6 Z06 torque tube, TR6070 transmission and a c6 Z06 differential.
I struggled with the combination of components to get the wheelbase right for the Camaro since it’s about 3” longer than the C6, CamaroAJ helped me out. He’s building a very similar project with slightly different components.
I’m using a C6 suspension kit from Gordie Rutkowski at Nite Restorations.
It’s a great kit that makes this swap manageable as long as you have basic fabrication skills.
I am going to widen the fenders for the C6 suspension, the rear isn’t too difficult but I’m struggling with the front. The need to allow the tires to clear while turning is proving difficult.
I’ve been posting videos on YouTube for about a year, they’re low quality, not edited. Mostly just for me to keep track of what has been done.
The car is going to be mainly street driven but I do want to do 4 or 5 track days a year.
Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions for me.
