Nah...your engine pic's are right on track. ;)

Partner went to KY yesterday to pick up the transmission/convertor...likely to put it in the car this Saturday. Been having doubts about my choice in front brakes...not in the ability to stop the car, rather being able to hold the car in place for burnouts. It just didnt feel right testing outside with the original set-up...even without the system being bedded I had the nagging feeling it just wasnt going to perform up to snuff. I'm going to go ahead and swap calipers and be done with it.

Got a new hand held weather station...

Plans are to dedicate a laptop and interface the weather station with it. I'll use the laptop as a log book and load some type of software (yet to be determined).

Rich, you'll be a lot happier with those calipers. -Al

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Agreed Al...I know from first hand experience with this car that without a proper burnout I may as well just idle down the track. :p

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Calipers swapped/bled...line lock works great now and all of the brakes can hold the car in place while on the two-step (3000rpm) even on the slippery concrete apron out front.

Did not tackle the transmission today, but the swap is coming soon.

Transmission went in the car today. Did a four wheel scale before we quit for the day and it ended up being just about legal minimum @ 2848 pounds. No fuel in the cell and no preload on the Caltracs.

LF - 778#
RF - 830#
LR - 627#
RR - 613#

Rich car looks great,that is a autometer shift lite,2 stage or 3 ?

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Rich , what oil pan do you have on the car?

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

Ed - It's a stage 3 shift light. The oil pan appears to be stock...we have yet to open the motor.

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

2800 pounds? My drivetrain weighs that much! hehe... Curious to what mods , if any, you had to do to put trans in? Looking forward to hearing how it runs!

Re: '67 Camaro E/SA redo
 

No mods at all Brent...slipped right in, even with the braces. Only thing we had to change was to exchange the two bolts that hold the trans rubber mount to the tailshaft...metric variety.

TNT this Saturday at Bowling Green noon to five pm. With a projected high of only 47 degrees it will be less than ideal, but I have to get this car down the track to check everything out. I figure with me in the car along with a full load of fuel on board it should scale around 3050 pounds.
