Awd 1969 camaro Build

Hey guys thanks for the forum! i traveled back to my garage last week and got a ton done on the awd build. 415 stroker short block is finished.
Tons of fabrication on the roll cage / new woodward fab bender came in so that was fun!
and the car had a pre assembly of all the new C.V axles and carbon driveshaft installed.
Also had my new shearer Fab intake installed and it looks sweet!!!!
Turbo kit is installed as well and boy am i running out of real estate.
I notice a problem with how i was going to run my shocks so it looks like i will be designing a bell crank suspension in the near future to get some room back! I hope you all enjoy.

I like the approach. Is it based on a TBSS transfer case and front suspension or?

Do you have the rear spindles (Z06) mounted on the front to use of the half-shafts? Whats the story on the intake manifold? Is that a on off pc? More detailed pics would be nice.

thanks,

Corvette spindles are the same in the front and in the rear and all hubs have splines for half shafts, even the front hubs...Intake looks to be a modified Holley HiRam.

hey man ! yea just used rear z06 hubs and put them in the front spindles and the connection was made. as for the intake this awesome guy ron shearer designs them for corvettes and what not its based off the holley high ram. i needed a shortened intake but wanted the benefits of the holley high ram so this was perfect

Any views of the front diff. and how much room are you going to loose for the front driveshaft? It is interesting. for sure.

Looks great! I just purchased a Yukon Denali to pull the AWD drivetrain and 6.0 out of ,and transplant into my 1959 Chevy Apache. I will definitely be following your build.
