The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

[churchmouse]

Now we're talkin!

Also posting on camaros forum. Turns out it was also listed on ebay awhile back, didn't meet reserve at 27600. I was thinking 28-30 would be about as much as I want to go on this one. Just not the right color and trans. The wife did remind me that I have nothing but time to wait for the right one. However if this one could be had at the right price I could rock it for a bit

As I've been sanding/painting the mantel I made last week I've been pondering the pale yellow one CP posted. I bet it would pretty decent with more modern wheels. Black spokes and a polished lip. Maybe some stripes or a black berger panel. The wheels in my head keep turning LOL.

There's also this one. I absolutely love the blue and white stripes on it. Asked him about pictures of the undercarriage but he doesn't have any but is maybe sending a walk around video.

Great looking 69 Camaro SS clone with beautiful paint. The car has an orig. block 355 sbc with vortec heads.

That is a very quick auto sought after by class racers as the gearing is sweet "BUTT" they are weak unless the proper parts are used in them and even then they have short fuses. Ask me how I know....

Looks good! Am I missing something...did you put on aftermarket suspension to adjust hieght?

BC coilovers. Most cases it rises better than stock. Hard frost heaves or culverts with large drop offs are a little harsh but they were harsh stock. Car is stupid flat and turn in is really good.

I did not comment on the pic. Car looks to be "GoKart" fun to drive.

What kind of racing do you do?

I always wanted to run on something like the old Players Club races, they were my favorite other than drag racing.

I auto-x’d for 10 years. Got drug along on One Lap in 2018 as a transit driver and have been jonesing to go back. Planned to in 2020 with the tib but we know how that worked out.
This year I started playing with the Grid Life group in Sundae Cup which is basically b-spec cars under a certain power to weight threshold (that I obliterate)

Were you at Putnam Park with Indy SCCA?

Sadly I was not. I had to work Saturday and Sunday I was pretty much done after all the normal stuff got done. I hope to be at the next time trials event.

So when I was putting the new cap/rotor on the MSD Pro Billet distributor I found the reluctor and Magnetic pick up to be totally corroded. I guess letting these sit for a few years in a non-conditioned space is not Kosher. I have the new reluctor and pickup. Dismantled the dist. and am almost done with the refit. I need some 100% clear silicon to mount the Mg pick up as thats the way it was from factory.
The old reluctor had to be pressed off.

I’m pretty sure there was a car out there just like yours.

Yep. That would be Kyle. He bought his a month or so after I bought mine.

Thanks. Might be worth a call. I can see it needs rockers at the least.

The MSD is complete and back in the engine. New reluctor and Magnetic pickup. That was not as easy as I originally thought it might be.

Nitrous plates are loose fit assembled to check for clearances and positions. Everything seems to fit nicely as planed. I have to pipe in the purge for the Nitrous solenoids.

Way to late in my game to jump on the LS wagon train. It is the engine of this generation. I have nothing but respect for the engineering and the way that design can take punishment.
But mark my words......This one will bring a smile I know it will.

I have a feeling that the dude you are building it for is gonna wrap it around a tree?

Yup.
We are starting a pool with a timeline/amount of damage and injury. Cruel maybe but yeah.
