Default 2 69 Camaro LSX Conversions

My 69 is getting Lemans Blue, with white hockey stick stripe. Right now it is in the process of a rotisserie restoration. Powertrain consists of a 2009 LS3, FLT Level 2 4L65, factory 12 bolt. Will be using AAW wiring, HID headlights and LED lighting. Tires will be 17" replica Base Model wheels, w/"poverty" caps. The car will be stock appearing with the comfort and power of the updated drivetrain. The drivetrain can be returned to stock if I choose to do so in the future, I dont see it happening, but there will be no cutting, welding, or custom subframe installed. If I ever choose to do so, I always can, but stock like characteristics have always been fine for me. Full details can be seen here:

My brothers car is a non-# matching 69 RS/SS350 car. Getting its original Lemans blue with black hockey stick. Car is loaded with deluxe interior, houndstooth, and woodgrain. Powertrain is a "freshened" LS1, with FLT 4L65, and factory 12 bolt. It will have the original 15" Ralley wheels, and also AAW wiring with HID's and LED lighting. Same as my car, it will not have any permanent chassis modifications, and appear to be a stock, rotisserie restored car.
Full details here: http://www.speedinc.com/ptsc/?page_id=20




Hope to have both of these cars on the road by April!

Thanks, Tom

Looks good, didn't you just sell a 69 LS1 not to long ago? What are you going to do for the cold air intake tube?

I used 2 of our 4" OEM grade polyethylene induction tubes, with a 4" MAF housing in the center. It locates the 9" filter in the fenderwell behind the headlight.

Here is a link to them: http://www.speedinc.com/ptscparts.cfm

So I would need 2 $74.00 sections. I didn't see a 4" MAF housing on your site. I've got a 85mm MAF , how could I make that work. Did you just use a 9" K&N filter on the end? Thanks

YOu can use your 85mm MAF in between the 2 pipes. Just need 2 silicone couplers and a K&N filter RE0870. Let me know, I can email you an estimate if you want. Just email me tom@speedinc.com

Thanks for the help, I put in my order today. One other question, does the cold air intake tube have to bolt into anything to keep it in place?
