The painting is not over yet, as smaller items like the RS headlight frames, the door hinges, hinge springs, trunk latch, and the custom second-generation Camaro “bullet” mirrors and their bases are painted white. Many of these pieces are new reproduction items from YearOne.

Meanwhile, back in the mechanical department, a nice delivery arrived from Butler LS!





This thing is a monster. Built by Butler LS, it’s an LS style engine, built with nearly all new aftermarket high performance parts. The block is an RHS tall-deck aluminum piece, and with the custom Eagle crank, it’s producing 454 cubic inches.

Of course, it features a COMP cam, lifters, and valvetrain, and is fed by a FAST XFI 2.0 fuel injection system. The intake is a FAST 102 MM billet throttle body bolted to a FAST LSXR composite intake manifold, holding FAST billet fuel rails.

The engine was machined and assembled by the talented crew at Butler LS, using all top-shelf internals and held together by ARP fasteners. They broke in the engine and made some power pulls, and the power maxes out at over 690 HP!



The front drive is from Wegner Motorsport, and also encompasses a Sanden compressor for the Vintage Air A/C system.



The clean coil covers are also Wegner pieces, which feature a billet construction and a clean cover to conceal the ignition coils. Oil is added through an opening under the large flanged hex bolts holding the top cover in place.

Those covers are a nice solution vs relocating the coils (where real estate is @ a premium).

True. However, they are a bit tall, so you have to pay attention on the top side, too.

The initial test fit of the big 454 LS was a little tight… the oil pan didn’t seem to want to share space with the Heidt’s steering rack, so we had to do a little dance.





It didn’t take too much work, but we had to notch the bottom of the oil pan to clear the rack.





After welding and paint…






Success.

We installed a 10” billet TCI lock-up torque converter



Slipping the 6X 6-Speed manual in place





As Bill Murray said… “It’s in the hole!”
