Default 67 camaro (free time build)

Thought I would post up some pics of my build. I've been working on this car off and on for about 6 years and hoping to drive it next year. Between family, work and other projects I'm still chipping away at it. Anyway here's the rundown

Gen 4 5.3 sbe with ls9 gaskets and 243 heads
Tr220 cam, double roller, oil pump,springs ti retainers
Twin bw s360's ,Holley hi ram, fast 92 tb
3.5" Bell Intercooler
Twin 044 pumps -8 fuel line
Ram aluminum flywheel and twin disc clutch
McLeod slave and master cylinder
T56 magnum transzilla .63 od
Ford 9" 3.70 gear Yukon center billet pinion and support
Yukon locker 35 spline axles
Ladder bar with wishbone
Mini tub
4 wheel disc brakes (going 6 piston up front)

That's about as far as I got.
I'm shooting for a reliable driver and still run down the track on occasion.

Made a bracket and tapped the intake to mount the regulator.

I just placed the turbos where I thought they looked good and me and a buddy built them (he welded them). 1 3/4" to 2" collector 304ss and 1/2" Cnc flanges.

Anybody have a opinion on using the compressor cover instead of a tank with co2/air for the boost controller? I don't really wanna run a tank unless the compressor cover will be unreliable.

Been doing little stuff to the car lately. Decided to put co2 in it for boost control and relocated the coils which turned out to be a pain in the ***. Ordered a driveshaft from strange. It's really nice .083 chromolly tig welded billet ends with a billet slip yoke. Had my buddy make me some "ladder links" to replace my ladder bars. Ordered new msd wires and some Holley auxiliary harnesses too.

Very cool build. It takes lots of patience to work on a build for 6 years. Glad you got it running!
