Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

Hey thanks for the interest again. I look on this site and realize the years not months fly by I figured 1 year for this and its been three. As we all get older times goes faster. Good thing is when I get back on this site makes me want to finish it and take it to some big meet and show it off. When you have the money you dont have the time when you have the time you don't have money. Life is funny that way. Good news is worked on my outlaw race car ( ford sorry) finally got the chassis figured out and made an easy pass and went 7.89 @187 lifted 7.5 second in the run in the quarter mile. I lifted cause it felt like it wasn't a good run so smooth. I will try to post a video if any one is interested in seeing it. This was at 8500 ft altitude

Thank you for the compliment. It is a MSD 250 amp or so deal. I took it apart and powder coated it. It was polished and that would not have matched the look I was trying to get. You are the only person who has ever noticed. I figured that with so much electrical stuff to drive need a very large alt. I will have At least Three computers to run the engine ,Igniton, and transmission. I changed the engine to coil on plug instead of waste spark. I will post more pictures soon Thanks again.
My 69 is or was nothing special but love the look of 69 camaro and of the 70 cuda (even better lines) but I wanted something really different and off the wall since this will make my third twin turbo car I currently have it only seemed natural to do. My 07 is twinded and my race car is twined so must have a street car that is twined

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

Thanks and you sure do have some great talent there. You are right about the 69 Camaro and 70 Cuda with great styling and lines. Wow, your other cars sound awesome too.:handshak:

Neat project. Where did you get those head studs?

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

I thought these guys use to sell the studs:

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

yep found them..

LT5X Head Studs
Manufactured from ARP 2000 grade (rod bolt) material, these studs are designed to bottom on existing block bolt threads resulting in increased engagement and reduced thread stress. At 120 ft/lbs of torque (using 30w oil) these studs result in up to 35% greater clamping force and do not require re-torque. Each kit contains 20 studs, hardened washers, and 12 point nuts.

Price: $1360

Ouch that would put me on a noddle diet for a few weeks lol

Anybody else out there?

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

I'd be on a noodle diet for about six months just to afford those head studs.....and another six months as I bet the nuts & washers are not included? Jez these motors get expensive!:jawdrop:

This is what I get for not buying a regular corvette!:sign10:

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

Yeah, even cup o noodles are not cheap these days and about a dollar each. I remember the comissary used to sell these for about .25 cents so that would cost you less than $1 a day for 3 meals.........lol. One month cup o noodles and if you survived you would also loose much more weight than the savings of the spare tire delete bar.

Re: 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro with LT5
 

I had no idea you could use that stuff as a diet-to-loose-weight idea? Chit, I think I'll go to the grocery store tonight and start now this way maybe by the spring I will have a quicker car!
