Default 69 Camaro LS7, It's alive

Hey guys, thought I'd post a few pics of my 69 Camaro project. Learned a lot hanging around the forum. Just got it fired last tuesday. Drove it to a show downtown on wed. nite. Ls7 crate motor from SDPC with a Katech Torquer cam, valve covers and coil relocation kit. ATS supplied the headers, motor mounts, oil pan, crossmember, clutch kit,and T56 trans. Oil tank is from Peterson. I'm using a vette front drive untill the Sidewinder unit is available from Ats so I can hang my AC compressor. I have the material here to fab an intake tube to move the filter and MAF into the fenderwell area.

To hell with the next generation Camaro somebody please put these back on the car lot. I'll take a NBM with silver metallic stripes. My old 69 was grey primer but it had the old BB 427 with the rectangular port heads and the stock Holley aluminum intake with a C427X stamped on the runners. But yours is a friggin work of art dude. That motor looks awesome between thoses fenderwells. You might have to fabb up a set of thoses HI Tech motor restrainers I use to use. You can even get the log chain chromed!

Elegant!

Must handle well with the lightweight engine.

What are you using for engine control? Electronics?
