Pro Touring 1969 Camaro 540 BBC Detroit Speed Suspension and Holley EFI At V8 Speed & Resto Shop
Some say these cars are never finished, and that holds true especially when a modified car changes hands. In this case, our customer purchased this killer 1969 Chevrolet Camaro as a freshly completed Pro-Touring machine complete with a slick silver paint job and a very cool red leather interior, but the 700+ HP 540-cube Shafiroff big block Chevy and 6-speed T-56 Magnum transmission are a bit much for the otherwise stock suspension. The huge torque easily overpowers the rear tires, and the handling isn’t up to the expectations of the owner. So, the car was sent to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop so our crew could take the suspension, rear axle, wheels, tires, brakes, and a few other areas of the car to the next level.
The big challenge - installing a complete Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear suspension and front subframe, wheel tubs, Currie Enterprises rear axle, Forgeline wheels, Toyo Tires, Holley EFI, and more without damaging the beautiful silver paint or messing up the body panel fit. After all, something that looks this good should have the moves to match!

Finally a '69 Camaro with a natural aspirated Rat. Not some everyday LS build 👍

@sebastien9514 5 жыл бұрын

You do haft to admit ls’s are better for a lot of cars, remember fuel injected, better mileage but not original

@siwash99 5 жыл бұрын

haha check out the next version of this car when it gets an LT4

@69camarossrs40 4 жыл бұрын

Meh... I’d rather have my LS I can hop in it and drive it anywhere for reasonable gas mileage while in a nice car not many have.

Oh what I could do with that shop and all that amazing talent working there. This would be my dream job ! You guys never cease to amaze! Incredible workmanship. Imagine doing this job in a two car garage back home. Two car, not two and a half... no lifts, none of those goodies. I would love to work there.

That's a bad ass car. I have a similar engine with Holley Hp and I have a question please. At Idle I'm having a fouling condition. I notice you have the idle at 15.2 A/F ratio. What total timing do you have at idle? Thank you in advance.

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but does anyone know what the 2 silver pear shaped pieces with holes in them on the front subframe are for? Im guessing for tow hooks but would rather ask than guess. What an awesome camaro!!

@V8TV 7 жыл бұрын

Not a stupid question at all, those are in fact tow hooks. Thanks for asking and for the kind words!

@johndymowski6844 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry it's a fuel injected rat. Were the subframes connected? It looked like it. For all that money and time I would have gone with an independent rear! Also a 6pt. Roll cage for that power...

Why did you not inform us as to what you charged for all of this work?

@V8TV 3 жыл бұрын

Hi John, there are several reasons. it is our policy to respect our customers privacy and not discuss the financial aspects of our customers cars in public. In addition, each car is different requiring different amounts of work or parts. However, we're happy to chat with you in a quick call if you'd like, we can learn more about your particular project and goals and can answer specific questions about costs and time. Thanks for asking!
