Blown 6.0 in a 1967 Camaro (Done)
I've been helping a guy in my neighborhood get this thing done. He had spent over a year and a half getting bad advise on what to do and was nowhere near complete on the swap.
After working with him and sorting out what he had verses what he needed for the last couple of months, yesterday was the big day where the car actually drove out of the garage under it's own power.
Here's a short video:

We are taking it to D&D (Walsh Motorsports) in Wixom, MI. for a dyno tune this Thursday. I'll post the results.

Only drove it in and out of the garage so far. It goes on the dyno thursday and if it's dry outside we'll drive it home when it's done.
What hood are you using to clear the blower pulley and intake?

It's a 2300. He bought the engine fully assembled with the blower from a guy that works at the Corvette Engine Build Center in Wixom, MI.
That's all the info I've been able to get.

Got the car back from the dyno. We asked for a very conservative tune since there is no intercooler and ended up with a very safe 413 HP on 91 octane. Max timing is very low at only 15 degrees.
The owner is thinking of adding an intercooler and tuning it to run on E85. If he does then timing could be bumped to 30 and we would likely see another 100 HP.
His dilema is that he already has a 6" cowl hood on the car and adding the intercooler would raise the blower another 1.5" so we need to check for clearance. If there is not enough room he's going to call it a day and just drive the car as is.
