1969 Camaro LSA project

[BanditDave]

Where the hell is everyone finding these damn motors?!?!? Lololol...I gotta get into your secret society!

As for the fuel system. Give Carl Casanova a PM on this board...the vaporworx set-up is his deal and he is one hell of a guy. He has no issue talking to you on the phone for hours helping you sort out your car. I am running a Rick's Tanks/Vaporworx set-up in my '69 442. Currently it is a 5th gen pump with a 4th gen regulator. Eventually it will be a CTS-V pump with Cal's pwm controller (just like how the actual CTS-V controls the pump).

It will be the last fuel system you will ever need for the car.

Awesome build guys!

Replaced my CTS-V supercharger hat with a ZL1 hat. Easy mod - hat tip to Lou's Change.

Nice looking build. We are currently building a 67 Corvette convertible with the LSA and 6L90e. We are upgrading the LSA to the 700HP range. Are you having your 6L90e upgraded? If so, who are you using to build it? What shifter are you going to use for tapup-tapdown? Lastly, why did you change the top hat to the ZL1 model?

[terrydmorgan]

I am not upgrading the 6L90e for now, but I'll probably be staying closer to 600 hp. Street and performance modified a Pontiac G8 shifter for me. It's cable operated and has tap up/down. I also have a paddle shifter called ShrifteSixr from Twist Machine. The engine in the ZL1 Camaro is the same as the CTS-V engine that I have, but making it look like the more like the modern ZL1 seemed more appropriate. I got lots of questions about why I'd want to put a Cadillac engine in my Camaro. Plus, check out the build called "Lou's Change." they claim better performance because of more volume and better heat exchange with the ZL1 hat. Also, the coolant lines exit the front of the ZL1 hat, which should make routing the coolant lines a little easier.

Any updates??????

Is anyone running a LSA with a stock subframe? What accessory drive is everyone using?

Two options are Concept One and Street and Performance. Factory might work if you buy the upper AC relocation bracket that Southern Performance Systems sells. I am not aware of any other options.

Street & Performance fixed me up, but I'm running a TCI subframe.

Terry do you have any pictures of what you did to the tunnel to make the 6L80 fit in there? Any pictures of the floor done?
Beautiful build.

I have a 6L90 and I haven't modified the floor,tunnel, at least yet. It's very tight, but it bolted up. I haven't started the engine yet, so I may still need to modify the tunnel. I recall seeing a post a year or so ago for a bolt-on tunnel mod that raises the top a bit.

Here's a pic from behind the tranny looking forward.

I'm installing mine on a stock subframe. Using the accessory drive from an LS7 corvette. This superchevy article shows what I have

I was originally going to use a 6l90 on mine but didn't want to have to cut the floor up so I changes to a 4l80. Looks like I may not have needed to!

I didn't think you could even get it in there. You learn something new every day! Especially around here.

I've been working on my brakes. Installing a Hydraboost system. Finished the hydraulic lines today. I saw a post where someone put wire loom and shrink tubing on their hoses. Looked so good I copied the idea.

I really like that mod you made to the lines. Add protection and looks way better

The hoses look great if you ask me. My trans tunnel is already raised about an inch and a half.
