What are the mufflers

[pokemonnewvestroia]

@falconer931 They're a set of 14" Magnaflows - nothing special.

[ddddzee]

Nice sound! I like that

[jplumber100]

I like that color

[crimson1667]

wow no offense but i never knew how ugly the hide--aways were on a 69 cool car though

[arkwoo]

@crimson1667 LOL - no worries :) I don't have the actuators on the headlights so I'm always having to stop to open them at nite. A lot of the time I just leave the headlght doors open.

[FROTFULLDELIGHTS]

Jap cars might have superior performance but nothing idles like that man, beautiful sounding car something a 4 banger or a 6 will never know about.

[crimson1667]

@FROTFULLDELIGHTS better performance?well maybe handling but damn beauty and speed goes to american Muscle

[coldgin74]

what do you have for a cam in it? I am thinking about building one instead of the roller BBC i have now... much more mild with more power... i like the sound of yours.

[arkwoo]

@coldgin74 - Its a CompCams hydraulic roller - straight out of their catalog - 11-470-8 single pattern, 252 @ .050, .612 lift, with a 110 degree centerline. Not really a blower cam at all, but it seems to perform well. I'm also using CompCams ProMagnum hydraulic roller lifters with it, though I'd probably go with a set of solid rollers the next time around. These race hydraulic rollers are a pain the butt.

What color is that? Beautiful car buddy

[arkwoo]

thx - it's a Sherwin-Williams color called Tennesee Blue.

[stratotanker518]

Is that a locker?

[arkwoo]

Yes - narrowed 12-bolt, Detroit Locker, Moser 33-spline extreme axles.

[thing503]

yeah stupid me, i'm too much of a ford guy. don't know too much about chevy engines. i feel pretty dumb now.

[arkwoo]

Naw, you should'nt feel dumb. I don't know that much about Fords except what I see in my rear-view mirrors (hehe)...

Sorry, had to poke ya a bit there, being a Ford owner ... lol

[thing503]

haha funny. i'm used to it anyway, my girlfriends entire family is a load of chevy lovers and i catch the ford jokes at every turn.

[thing503]

427? 427 SOHC? or am i missing something?

[arkwoo]

It's a 427 BBC with a 671 blower.

[strittan]

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

[nilagorilla]

and drive it like a gramps

[stratotanker518]

That's a straight-ass posi no-slip dif. Stand on it in a corner and you're dead meat.

[stratotanker518]

Christ, that was fucking sweet. You don't see raw ass power like that any more.

[turbojonn]

700 hp is a lot to put down! Sounds like fun. The torque must be incredible. If you hook up at the track you'll be haulin' for sure! Can't wait to see the videos. SaaaaWeeeet car!

[turbojonn]

I love the sound of the tires dragging around the corner. I'm guessing a locked rear end? Sweet car!!!

[arkwoo]

It has a Detroit Locker with 33 spline Moser Axles, running 4.10 gears in a narrowed 12-Bolt. I opted not to do a spool on the street - this thing is on the ragged edge of being streetable now - I didn't want to add the obnoxious behaviour of a spool.

[H2motion]

NICE CAR HOW MUCH HP

[arkwoo]

We figure it's putting out somewhere around 700 bhp. Hard to tell without a dyno session, but regardless, it makes lots and lots of grunt. I'm a pretty happy guy :)

[OmgItsBread]

69*

[OmgItsBread]

aww...gotta love the 60 camaro...muscle all the way..nice ride dude

[danbuzzer]

beautiful camaro mate.

[arkwoo]

Thanks :) I've been working on this for the last couple of years, getting 'hard parts' stuffed in it, getting ready for the track. It's never been down the quarter mile and I'm expecting to hit the track sometime within the next month or so. I'll post video after (unless I do something really stupid lol)
