Firstly sorry for all these threads. I've been house bound for the past two days so I've spent a lot of time watching Diagnosis Murder and surfing the web.
Sorry if this is a pearoast.
So here's another find.
Quick Inspection: '69 Chevy Camaro Z/28
Bob Owen * Los Altos, CA
Powertrain
Engine: Built by Ron Grose Race Engines, the 358ci small-block is very similar to an old Winston Cup engine, based on a 4.030x3.500 bore and stroke in a Dart aluminum block with a Sonny Bryant billet crank, Manley H-beam rods, and JE pistons for 9.5:1 compression. The top-end includes Brodix 18-degree aluminum heads and intake tuned up by Ron Grose and sucking through a Holley 820-cfm carb. The specs of the Crower solid-roller cam are, as usual, a secret. Adding to the NASCAR vibe are a full dry-sump oiling system. Power support includes MSD ignition and custom stepped (1 1/4-to-1 1/4) merge-collector headers, and the accessories include ARP fasteners, a Powermaster 145-amp alternator, and Petersen and Griffin cooling components.
Power: 697 hp, 650 lb-ft
Transmission: You know you're cool when you have a Tilton triple-disc clutch inside a magnesium bellhousing. It feeds a road-race Jerico four-speed by Busby Motorsports in Martinez, California.
Rearend: And you're even more hard-core when you have a Winters quick-change rearend loaded with a Detroit Locker differential, 4.11:1 gears, and Speedway Engineering axles.
Chassis
Frame: The entire frame was fabricated by Busby Motorsports using 2x2 boxed sections and 1 1/4-inch-diameter, 0.095-wall round steel tube. The stock wheelbase is maintained.
Suspension: It's all custom fabricated using Afco coilovers with double-adjustable shocks all around, custom Port City Racing spindles and a Speedway Engineering sway bar up front, and custom Watt's linkage in the back. The steering includes Sweet brackets and pump with an Appleton power rack-and-pinion and an ididit column.
Brakes: The Camaro uses Wilwood calipers with eight-piston units in front and six-piston calipers, rear, both with Performance Friction pads. The master cylinder, proportioning valve, and pedal assembly are Wilwood.
Wheels: Circle Racing, a whopping 16x10 front and 16x12 rear
Tires: Goodyear slicks, 16x12 and 16x14
Weight: 2,800 pounds with driver
Style
Body: The car is a real steel '69 Camaro with a fiberglass hood and decklid and fabricated flared fenders and quarter-panels with a custom-made deck spoiler. There's remote fuel fill available on both sides.
Paint: Ferrari Grey by Automotive Enterprise in San Carlos, California
Interior: It's all business with Kirkey racing seats, a Five Star curved racing mirror, Auto Meter gauges in a Busby Motorsports custom dash, a Hot Lap in-car timing system, Racing Radios communication, and Pyrotect harnesses and fire system.
