69 Yenko Camaro first drive - blows tires loose through 3rd gear without trying

I finnally have my Yenko Camaro put back together with the new Drivetrain, the BBC makes a little over 500Hp and 550TQ, with a M21 4-Speed and 4.10 Posi..in a car that weighs 3500lbs...Needless to say the car is an animal and super fun to drive! This is really the first time I have jumped on the car hard 3/4 throttle, I have been breaking in the engine in and figured I would video the first of Many big burnouts : )

It's a Yenko clone, I installed the console and speedo when restored... Wow, Talk about picky... and sorry to burst your bubble but 2:33 was fun as hell! sorry if Muscle cars are to only be putted around town...Not in my book! I Always jump on the car in safe hyway entrances..etc. so go bark up someone elses tree... Some folks need to get a life.

haha...u tap the dash and say "good girl"

[gearheadsdesign]

@XboobtubeX Yes, She is a good girl!... unless she breaks... Every time I beat on her I feel lucky to have returned home with no issues... So I pat the dash and praise her for a job well done... silly but makes me feel better! Not like I have an obession or anything.... No shitter ever came between and Christine....

Before someone asks... The noise you hear the last time I jump on it from 1st to 2nd is actually the shoulder strap on the camera banging up against the microphone. Next time I'll be sure to lock it down! It does sound horrible though... : ) Glad its not the tranny...

Looks great Michael! I'm glad that you are finally getting to enjoy all of your hard work. Sounds much better in the Yenko than it did on the dyno :)

[gearheadsdesign]

@BlueprintEngines Thanks for the comments and building a killer Engine! She is a beast!!! She is cholding 60lbs of oil pressure at idle / warm... and seems to be running great! Feel free to use any of these videos for advertisement or endorsement. She sure is fun to drive with that BB making 550 Ft LBS of TQ!!! Soon I'll do some full throttle romps. but trying to ease my self into the power and the cars reacations...etc.! But ya'll at BluePrint were definately a big part of PROJECT YENKO!

That car's a good lookin woman you got there brother.

Sounds good as i had a 67 clone in the mid 70's -- 427-425 hp dead stock with headers with 4.56 gears-- Sounds like you have a much more radical cam? 550 tq is a lot, is it a 427 and do you still have the rectangular port heads? Seems some use the oval for many applications-- very hard to hook up with those old cars and actually dangerous to control so you better get some slicks for the track, any Camaro with a good BB is GREAT, i love the hideaway headlights

Ignore that tool "JohnQuincyAdams"... He goes on you tube n looks at all the Yenkos, then complains if there not to specs. Yes, dork we know just as much as u do about Yenkos. Not everyone is trying to "clone" it. Some r just trying to make a complimentary rendition of it.

Gearheadsdesign, ignore the wannabe. Probably one of those Old Farts that buys a Muscle Car at Barret-Jackson and locks it up in an Air-conditioned Barn w/ the rest of his status toys.

Muscle Cars ( and Man this Beast rocks) were designed to be turned on once in a while period. otherwise they never would have been built.

One thing tho Gearheadsdesign, better get some wider or stickier rear tires for that "Good Girl".

I loved that at the end. Used to pat my 69 Roadchicken the same way.
