Default My '69 Camaro RS

Hey, I'm new here and even though I don't have an LS1, I'm considering the swap for my next motor. All I have to do is get a truck which should be fairly soon and I'll be doing something else for a motor for this.










My car and my dad's '71 Nova SS Clone




My car and my dad's 33 Ford 3 window coupe. It has a 350 TPI in it. He's going to swap an LS1 into it also, he's already got his motor.

Also, I'm from southern Illinois (Marion to be exact) and I was wondering if there is any local F-body clubs. St. Louis is a little far for me although I wouldn't mind catching a meet or two there.

The only problem with it is that it's always sleeping. Haha.

It's got a mildly built 350 in it and a 700R-4 in it because I drive it every day to class, work and everything. It gets about 30 miles a day on it every day, which isn't bad for a car this old.
