THIS IS MY 1969 CAMARO THAT I BOUGHT IN 2004. I BOUGHT IT PAINTED WITH A SMALL BLOCK, RALLY WHEELS AND 4-WHEEL DRUM BRAKES, 4-SPEED TRANNY AND A 10 BOLT REAR END. THIS CAR IS A FACTORY V-8 CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND FACTORY HUGGER ORANGE CAR, BUT IT HAS BEEN REPAINTED THE ORIGINAL COLOR.

CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS A BUILT 454 FULL ROLLER MOTOR WITH A T-56 6-SPEED TRANNY, 12 BOLT POSI WITH 3:73 GEARS. I INSTALLED A HEIDTS 2" DROP SPINDLE WITH A 2" DROP SPRING IN FRONT WITH C6 CORVETTE ROTORS AND C5 CALIPERS AND A BILLET HUB. ON THE REAR I HAVE LS1 CAMARO REAR DISC BRAKES. I HAVE A HOTCHKIS 1.5" DROP LEAF SPRING KIT ALONG WITH A BELL TECH 1" DROP BLOCK (2.5" DROP TOTAL IN THE REAR). THE WHEELS ARE 20 x 9 IROC WHEELS WITH 245-30-20" NITTO TIRES IN THE FRONT AND 275-30-20" NITTO TIRES IN THE REAR.

UPDATED 8-8-05 I BOUGHT A 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OUT OF A 1997 TRANS AM THAT I AM CURRENTLY INSTALLING. I WILL BE POSTING THE TRANSMISSION INSTALL SOON.

UPDATED 11-4-05 WELL I FINALLY FINISHED THE 6-SPEED INSTALL, IT TOOK 3-MONTHS TO DO IT BUT IT'S FINALLY DONE. I WAS THINKING ABOUT 4:11 GEARS.

UPDATED 11-28-05 I BOUGHT SOME REAR 12-INCH DISC BRAKES OFF OF A 2001 CAMARO SS. THEY SHOULD BOLT RIGHT ON.

UPDATED 1-17-06 I AM ALMOST DONE DOING THE REAR DISC BRAKES, IT WAS ALMOST A DIRECT BOLT ON. SINCE THE 1'ST GENERATION CAMAROS HAVE THE REAR SHOCKS STAGGERED I HAD TO PURCHASE 2- DRIVER SIDE REAR BRACKETS TO MAKE THE CALIPERS STAGGERED AS WELL. ALL I NEED TO DO NOW IS TO CLEAN UP THE BRACKETS AND CALIPERS AND PAINT THEM AND FIGURE OUT THE BRAKE LINE PART OF IT. I AM INTO THIS REAR DISC BRAKE SWAP $260.00 NOT BAD, NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE FRONT C5 CORVETTE BRAKES FOR THE FRONT.

UPDATED 1-19-06 I CLEANED AND PAINTED THE REAR CALIPERS AND BRACKETS, ALMOST COMPLETE, STILL NEED TO DO THE BRAKE LINES AND PARKING BRAKE.

UPDATED 2-14-06 I FINISHED THE REAR DISC BRAKES AND LOWERED THE REAR 1 MORE INCH, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF 2.5 INCH DROP IN THE REAR. I ALSO ORDERED THE FRONT DISC BRAKES TODAY, I WENT WITH THE C5 CORVETTE CALIPER AND THE C6 CORVETTE 13.39 INCH ROTOR

UPDATED 2-22-06 MY NEW FRONT C5, C6 BRAKES ARRIVED.

UPDATED 3-22-06 I INSTALLED MY NEW HEIDTS 2-INCH DROP SPINDLE.

UPDATED 3-23-06 I INSTALLED MY BILLET HUB AND 13.39-INCH ROTOR, BUT I AM WAITING FOR A SPACER TO INSTALL THE CALIPERS.

UPDATED 3-27-06 I HOOKED UP THE STEERING UP FRONT AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEELS AND THEY RUBBED THE FENDERS. SO I HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, MAYBE RAISE THE FRONT 1/2 AN INCH AND PUT A LOWER PROFILE TIRE UP FRONT.

UPDATED 3-28-06 I INSTALLED MY FRONT CALIPERS, SO THE FRONT BRAKES ARE COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER.

UPDATED 4-7-06 I BOUGHT A SHORTER FRONT TIRE, 245-30-20, IT IS ABOUT 1-INCH SHORTER THAN THE 245-35-20 THAT I HAD ON THE FRONT, I AM GOING TO HAVE IT MOUNTED TONIGHT AND SEE IF THE FRONT STILL RUBS WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

UPDATED 5-2-06 I BOUGHT A HALF INCH RUBBER INSULATOR AND INSTALLED IT BETWEEN THE SPRING AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM. SO I CAN FINALLY DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT THE FRONT TIRES RUBBING. JUST NEED AN ALIGNMENT NOW.

UPDATED 11-6-06 I TOOK OUT THE OLD GAS TANK TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.

UPDATED 11-14-06 I BOUGHT A FRESH 12 BOLT WITH POSI AND 3:73 RICHMOND GEARS, NOT EXACTLY THE GEARS I WANTED BUT THEY WILL WORK FOR NOW.

UPDATED 11-27-06 I INSTALLED THE NEW GAS TANK AND PUT MY REAR DISC BRAKES ON THE NEW 12 BOLT, I ALSO MOUNTED THE 12 BOLT ON THE CAR. I STILL HAVE TO BLEED THE BRAKES AND HOOK UP THE FUEL LINES.

UPDATED 12-4-06 I FINISHED THE REAR END INSTALL. I HAVE TO GO ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO USE 6'TH GEAR. NOW WHEN I TAKE OFF IN 1'ST IT FEELS LIKE 1'ST GEAR SHOULD FEEL.

3-14-07 I RAN MY CAR AT SAC RACEWAY WITH MY SMALL BLOCK. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY TIMES.

UPDATED 2008 I GOT THE BIG BLOCK RUNNING, BUT I FLATTENED THE HYDRAULIC FLAT TAPPET CAM DURING BREAK IN, SO I TOOK THE BIG BLOCK BACK TO THE MACHINE SHOP TO PUT A SOLID ROLLER COMP CAM IN.

UPDATED 4-17-08 I GOT THE BIG BLOCK RUNNING AGAIN ON 4-17-08

3-14-07 I TOOK THE CAMARO OUT TO SAC RACEWAY TO RUN THE 1/4 MILE, I AM NOT TO HAPPY WITH MY CARS RESULTS, 3-23-07 I SOLD THE SMALL BLOCK AND DECIDED TO GO BIG BLOCK. 3-23-07 8-13-07 THE HEADS ARE # 3919840 FROM 12-30-68, CLOSED CHAMBER, RECTANGULAR PORT, WHICH IS EITHER A 396-C.I. 375 HP L-78 OR 427 C.I. 435 HP UPDATED 7-26-07 I TOOK THE ENGINE TO THE MACHINE SHOP TO BE BUILT.
