Here is one way to whip a fresh Pro-Touring basket of goodies:

Take one 67 Camaro-

(Note some firewall clearance may be needed. In case of engine setback, subsitute factory pedal mounting with Tilton unit)

For optimal results, place engine behind front axle centerline-

For a topper, try adding a set of 20x10 and 20x13 wheels-

I'm glad you guys like it thus far. I know it's been fun thus far to get it where it is.

Creative and entertaining. I have a couple of questions:
Is the IRs out of 84-87 or 88-96?
How well will the Dana 44 hold up under the torque of the big block?

Thanks

That is a Dana 44 from a 96 C4 Corvette. We have Carbon Fiber half shafts, heavy duty U joints and billet caps, as well as a gear set designed for the HP levels. With a 20" wheel, it will have a hard time getting traction from a dead stop, so the shock to the rear will not be too bad.

Those 20" wheels are interesting. I'd like to see how they look on a '67 Camaro with the open wheel houses. Something tells me they wouldn't look as nice on the '69's with their semi-closed wheelhouse profiles.

I'm not sure what happened. My PT.com folder is now missing, with all my pics. I'll Email the admin to see what the issue was.
