My 69 Camaro is in a major rebuild stage, which went from an average family "grocery go-getter" to a full out race car.
In the engine compartment, out came the tired 230 six cylinder and in went a 408 bbc, 11.5:1 TRW pistons, Victor Jr intake, 850dp Pro Systems carb, reworked GM closed chamber, oval port heads 2.065 int/ 1.72 exh, Doug Herbert Performance solid roller cam, .685/.683, 290/304, 258/271@.050, 108CL and Comp Cams roller lifters, 6qt oil pan, MSD distributor/ 6AL box/ Blaster coil, Autolite spark plugs, Hedman headers.
Engine and head work were performed by Keith Starner at K-Star Automotive in York, PA. www.kstarautomotive.com

The transmission is a 2 speed powerglide with a high speed stall converter, shifted by a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter.


The original rear frame of the car was completely cut out and in went a S&W 24" rear frame assembly. The rear seat was replaced by a set of 40" aluminum tubs. The body sits ontop of solid body bushings. Where the spare tire was, a 5 gal fuel cell, Optima battery, Holley fuel pump and a fuel filter are there now. bruce69camaro's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro bruce69camaro's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Traction is controlled by a set of 32" double adjustable ladders. Holding the S&W narrowed nine inch rear in the center is a track bar and a set of 130lbs coil over springs.

A new Strange center section with a 35 spline spool and 4.57 gears was ordered. Axles are from Moser Engineering.

The front end also got worked on. I installed a new set a 11"
disc brakes and also put in new ball joints, coil springs, A-arm
bushings and tie rod ends.

The interior sheet metal is finally done. It took a little, but it turned out ok. bruce69camaro's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro bruce69camaro's 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

It has a lone Jaz fiberglass prostock seat and is surrounded by a 14 point roll cage.

A window net will keep me from flying out of the car.
I use Autometer gauges to monitor all the functions going on.
