its going in my 69 camaro. Its going to be carbed. I picked up the valley tray from wegner motorsports. they are the company that developed the distributor drive for the front of the engine. I got the coils mounted up on it today and also got a few parts in the mail. im waiting for my victor jr intake to arrive as soon as that happens im going to take it to westech for a dyno session. i hope i can crank out close to 520 at the crank, or roughly 430-440 at the wheels.

this will be its new home

Man, that's a sweet ride. I bet it gets attention wherever you go. Good luck with that swap.

thank you for the comments. ill let everyone know how things turn out. i wish i had the money to buy everything for my swap at once, but i dont. i need to sell my current SBC and M22 4 speed to finance the fuel system and ATS T56 kit.

my goal for the swap was to show everyone that a carb setup can be worth it.

thank you. i also fashioned some mounts for a 2001 F body radiator to fit on a repo 69 camaro radiator. my dad is taking it to a shop today to have the inlet and outlet sizes changed. also ordered a sumpped gas tank. soon as all that arrives i can start to wire it up.
