      Although I haven't updated my website in a long time. (I need to get off my A$$) been very busy. It will have all the info. on the engine and suspension.
      Ron's 68 Camaro

      I changed over to the Accel DFI air gap Intake, Accel DFI 1200 CFM throttle body and the Banks upper box to bring it all together. More air flow to 7K rpm.

      The custom Ron Davis Radiator/Intercooler set-up works fantastic and Tim has always been great to work with. (PLUG)
      It has been cool out, but I never see anything over 115 deg at the intake manifold. The engine temps are always at 190.

      I wasn't sure on the side pipes, but I needed 3" exhaust and it would have been fun to get under the car and route around the 5 link. One thing they do is give the car is a lower look.

      How dare you rip the soul out of that Chevrolet and insert that POS FORD engine!

      I am joking of course and pocking a little fun at the thread in the open discussion forum.

      BTW this thread is worthless without video.

      patriot68, The Martz piece is good place to start for the money. I did many mods to it to adapt to my configuration. I added some triangulations to key areas to help support rigidity. I also had to moved the suspension back ~3/4" to get tire to fender clearance. Don't know what they are doing today, but 3 years ago the suspension sat more foward in the wheel well then factory. With less front space on the wheel it probably would of cleared. Now that its all done, the alighnment came right in and it works very good so far. We will see more when I get it to the track.

      andrewb70, Yea, to each his own. My reply when someone asks me why I put a Ford in a Chevy is "Why Not!" Why do people put Chevy's in Ford's? Why do people do a lot of things they do. It's all good!

      and Yes, I'm trying to get out to Willow Springs for some action video. We will see what she's really got. It would be really cool to have a drifting music vid.

      Welcome back,Ron. I've often wondered how you and the car were coming along. Tell us more about the mirrors and sidepipes. My Motion 69 Nova had Hooker sidemounts on it and I've wondered about something similiar for my El Camino.
