1969 Chevrolet Camaro Build - From Street/Strip to Pro Touring

[Jerems]

Looks killer, can't wait to see it finished and doing burnouts!

69 Camaro console with B&M Quicksilver Shifter, Momo Anatomico leather short shift knob, power window switches, and transmission mode button nearly complete.








A closer look at the rear and trunk of the Camaro with the Fesler flush mount glass, optima battery, and package tray mounted stereo components installed.








LT4 engine wiring and accessory drive components nearly complete and 3" exhaust system getting started.

Sooo, how big of a deal was it to get the LT4 in there? Stock oil pan? How the accessory drive work out. I'd love to do one but I didn't think the aftermarket had caught up yet.

Looks awesome!

Wow!

I'm interesting is this as well, plus what headers do you intend to use? I'm contemplating installing a TVS 2300 on my LS2, which would be easier, but this is cooler and the cost difference doesn't appear to be much.

The LT4 is priced well compared to other crate engines, especially considering the HP/$. There were some difficulties with the installation. The wiring took about 100 hours connecting the LT4 harness to the Advanced Keys push button starter system. The engine wiring harness was short and extended in some places. The large CPU was mounted in the front passenger side fender with a custom bracket. The Chevrolet Performance LT4 accessory drive alternator setup did not have clearance so the stock front subframe was slightly modified. The power steering pump and brackets were all custom fabricated. The stock exhaust manifolds cleared fine but flanges are being custom made for the 3" exhaust to bolt up to the exhaust manifolds. The supercharger intercooler is mounted in front of the radiator and the pump is mounted in the front driver side fender under the K&N intake filter.

Awesome build man! You did a great job of incorporating new technology without over-doing it. It looks fantastic, and great color!

Nathan it looks great, you guy are doing some great work.

Some updated pics of the underside showing the stainless steel fuel tank, ridetech suspension, and 3" exhaust getting installed.

First class!

FANTASTIC job!!!

[Motown 454]

It's definitely coming together under there. Looking good.

The list of remaining items is getting shorter. 3" exhaust with DynoMax Ultra Flo mufflers installed and LT4 engine is running. Tire alignment, mounting seat belts, and running AC/heater lines are among the final things left to complete.

[Motown 454]

I like the sound of the DynoMax mufflers.

[Jerems]

Pictures are great but a video of that motor running would be awesome! I have the same engines and have been debating between the black widows or the Dynomax Ultra flo

It's been a while since this thread has been updated so here is what has been happening with the '69 LT4 Camaro:

Below are photos of the body modifications and paint repair needed to install the Fesler flush mount glass.










Fitting the AC compressor in with the LT4 engine took some fabrication as well:








Here are current photos and a video of the LT4 motor starting.

It's so cool to see how clean that looks in there. 10/10 on the Zoomin Jealous Scale

This looks great! Good job.

What intercooler did you use? How difficult was the install?

Below are some photos and video of the Camaro at the Goodguys 18th Del Mar Nationals last weekend.
