1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

[intocarss]

Might as well start tearing out the carpet and installing the real race seats, hans device and fire system.

It's either PT or a Race car better decide now.;)



You left out Lat-G car :bow:

[Flash68]

So, how much power is your race car going to have?

Screw it, before you even respond I'm just going to go ahead and tell you that you should have built an LS. :unibrow:

Matt

How about a new word here.... RaceFighter. :lol:

I am really going for a Hobaugh or Maier type build with less quality obviously and less modern but track purpose with occasional street car ability. I don't want full race car and would do many different things if that was the goal.
I have some other ideas for the aeshetics that will help separate it from this damn sea of Camaros.

I have ditched the dome piston high compression idea. That lasted about 10 minutes. :willy:

doesn't sound like a 1996 Chevy Beretta with a straight pipe. :rofl:

That's hilarious and pretty much spot on. One big reason I've shied away. The sound just ain't right.

I vote for the cereal bowls. :thumbsup: Your guy can probably make them work.

Todd got it half right BB:rofl:

Nope. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Many cars blur the line or tip more to one side without flipping. That will remain the goal here. I like the continuing challenge to negotiate that line as only I can view it. We are all different with that and one thing I enjoy immensely about this site and watching people make their decisions. Race cars are too predictable and almost boring in comparison (please no one take that the wrong way).

Cereal bowls it is. :thumbsup:

I figure that at refreshening time (maybe 2-3 years) I can then decide to add domes if I feel like it at that time.

well done Jer. :lateral:

I still like it. But with the Mustang paint job it should be Ford powered that would really set it apart from the other first gens. Let me know when you want to get started on that CHI headed SBF powerplant :rofl: :rofl:

Please correct me if I'm wrong but this car has been driven to RTTC and performed for a weekend and driven back. That's 1000 miles round trip. I also seem to recall you trailering there every year. Hmmm....

Payback only drives the 20 minutes to the local autoX I believe....

Interesting what a car can do and what a car actually has done. :lol:

I was thinking about doing a rendering to put my new set of ideas on the canvas, but I found a car I want to emulate so I don't need to spend the money on the rendering I figure.

I want to make the 68 Camaro version of this. Paint my white stripes matte black (and get rid of the little Mustang influence I inherited when I bought this car :D) and rivet on the flares for a racy/industrial look. No flares molded into the body for me. I prefer the color contrast and lower cost. :unibrow:

Hahaha, so naive you are. Not all good deals just appear. Truly talented shoppers are successful based on sheer persistence, which is great, as long as you aren't being dragged around Hong Kong for the better part of three days looking for an elusive deal on a digital camera. I can't say those are three days of my life I want to get back. Those days grow fonder as the years go by. However, I do wish that my relatives had actually bought a camera at the end of those three days :faint:

I'm sure you'll have some funny stories to share though :lol:

Oh man and my fiance is Korean so that's not much of an upgrade there. Looks like I'll cross off HK on our travel list. :lol:

Ah come on Dave. You gotta stop in HK at least once in your life. I had no idea what I was doing when I went there and it was still fun. If you could find the one corner of Kowloon that sells all the commercial cookware and supplies, I'm sure you be in heaven. Besides, I know your fiance would fair better than all the Japanese, and Ron, especially if Ron's parts buying and selling habits are any indication of his wheeling and dealing skills. And Ron still said he hada good time :lol:

[carbuff]

I tried to buy the car but it was only $170k over my budget. Asking $175k. :lol:

Any link to where that car was for sale? Not that I would want to buy it, but I'd love to see more pictures!

Thanx!

I was kidding. We have a trip to Asia planned eventually. I've never been and she has relatives in S Korea still.

Ron probably bought a ton of things and resold them at break even before ending up with his final goodies if I had to guess. :D

You're actually already on my list to call about flares as I get further along in this project.... Since CAR is local and already has their 2nd gen flares for sale I am waiting for Kevin there to do a test fit and brainstorm on a 1st gen version.... he has had other inquiries for them as well.

Race? I like it.... long way to the finish though. :unibrow: :willy:

Man what a day. Got moved into our new house, and that's significant for 2 main reason here.... (1) I am closer to getting back to planning and upgrading the Camaro... :unibrow: ... and (2) Even though this has always been part of many of ya'all's lives, I now have a garage of my own to bring said Camaro when it's back on the road. It's nothing special... but it's mine! :thumbsup:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/flash68/DSCF4126.jpg


The 2nd cool thing that happened today was I got a call from Johnny Hunkins of PHR and was invited to go to Columbus and be in the Muscle Car of the Year competition after the Goodguys event. He called because a couple heavy hitter Camaros have backed out recently. I was obviously appreciative but had to decline for many reasons, not the least of which is my car current has no chassis or suspension.... of course when I called to tell Rich this he said let's borrow a motor and get this sucker back together and go! Man I love ya brother... :cheers: :woot:

Ok I'm beat... but it's been a great day. :lateral:

[Matt@BOS]

You should go to Columbus. Rich can just pick up an engine on the way and swap it in the parking lot, right?

[Track Junky]

Stopped by Dave's new house today. Previous owner spared no expense on keeping this house meticulously maintained. Yes, its has a dated style due to it being an older home, but the layout is great and has awesome potential.

The downstairs room is awesome. Fireplace, plenty of room for a legal size pool table, couches, and big screen. I told Dave I would enlarge the area where the existing counter and sink are and turn it into the killer bar area.

Great score and congrats Dave!!

[waynieZ]

Congrats on the new house hope you have many happy healthy years in it. What do you mean the garage is nothing special----- Its yours that makes it special for you.

Slight change of plans and here comes Badmotorfinger V2.2 (hat tip to Chad Ryker for getting me to liking that moniker as he did V3.0 on his latest version).

Current motor in progress is scrapped (and for sale) and its place will go this thing:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/flash68/photo9-2.jpg

The key numbers are:

430 cubes
736 hp @ 6800 rpm
609 ft lbs @ 6000 rpm
92 octane
10.8:1 compression
185 lbs spring pressure for durability

The heart of this and why I had to have it was the 2006 era Joe Gibbs Racing SB2.2 heads.

This is the exact motor that got me interested in the SB2 stuff back 7-8 months ago when it was first listed.... sale fell through and it was relisted recently so I snatched it up. Most of the parts are upgrades over what I was putting in my 386 anyway. Will have it shipped to Watson Racing and have them check it over and dyno it here on 91 octane. Can't wait.

Guess it's time to start working on getting the chassis under this car.

Anyone need some good SBC short block and top end parts? :unibrow:

[Vince@Meanstreets]

first you need to clean your room man. Jeeze. :P


Thats all fine and dandy but what trans are you running again?

Wait....don't sell it, I can get you a great deal on a Caravan Town and Country and you can use our old changing table.

[waynieZ]

Wow nice motor!:drool:

Matt

Yes, finally, I hear ya there. I almost started a brand new stinkin thread.

I told him to keep the plate and crank trigger ignition he had on there. I actually wanted this thing because it was built for the street, and since recently moving to the suburbs where nice roads, a garage, and a driveway exist, I really want to have a car I can drive occasionally on the street. So while it isn't a stock LS3, it is certainly drivable to me. :cheers:

[67zo6Camaro]

Holly smokes, things are getting serious around here. I better start posting shiat about my new project.... or even some newer versions to my old one.

I predict a new trend forming. Pro-racing. The bar just keeps getting raised and things just keep getting juicer.:brix:

Can't wait to see this come together.

[fleetus macmullitz]

The new motor should take up temporary residence in one like this for some 'little kicks' on your wedding day. :unibrow:

Holly smokes, things are getting serious around here. I better start posting shiat about my new project.... or even some newer versions to my old one.

I predict a new trend forming. Pro-racing. The bar just keeps getting raised and things just keep getting juicer.

Can't wait to see this come together.

Please share more with us Brett!

The new motor should take up temporary residence in one like this for some 'little kicks' on your wedding day.



I was thinking 65 Conti with suicide doors actually. :unibrow:

I hadn't checked in on this thread in a while, but it looks as though the snowball effect is in full force! Awesome! Congrats on all the good stuff happening!

Thanks Steve. You know how it is. You get better/faster/stronger or you fall back!

Sweet Race Engine, How many FPG( feet per gallon) you gonna get out of this thing??? just tricking, really nice engine, should be fast. cant wait for more updates.

Thanks. I'm sure you appreciate a LEGIT car update eh? :cool:

You missed the Dry Sump

That was a secret Ronnie! :rofl: I am watching an ebay auction closely right now...

I'm with you on that strategy. :yes:

Congrats on the stout motor Dave. That's a whole lot of HP and should keep you lodged firmly in your seat.

Car now. Family soon. :thumbsup:

Congrats Dave.:thumbsup:

Man that is some engine...

I have to rethink my HP choices when I do change my engine..

Don't fall for the bait like I did. :lol:

The gloves are officially off.

Yeah, gloves off, and he's going in for the knockout. Congrats Dave, that is really cool. I want a ride in it, I will even pay for the gas.

For sure Mike!

I'm officially jealous, assuming the build gets done in the next year. .......

Hey man... that hurts. :lol:

LS-what! :thumbsup:

thats f-in awesome dave.

Thanks bro. Since you're a crewman without a car now, you wanna join the winning team? :rofl:

Nice score Dave, don't you love it when plans change mid-stream :lol:

Yep. Nothing stays on track around here. :lol:

YOWZERS! :thumbsup:

Sweet! I'm not sure about anyone else, but anytime I see the name Reher Morrison, I immediately think Pro Touring.

That is amazing HP from 11.1 bro---those sb2 heads are pretty amazing. Did you have the flow numbers?

I was told by engine builder over 400 cfm. And I don't think I've seen an SB2 head not flow 400+. Still waiting on some more specs to be faxed to me...

[Flash68]

You sir, are a pioneer. :thumbsup:



Nah. Remember Stielow was using a then-current Nascar Chapman 18 degree headed motor way back when I was like 15 years old.... I'm just trying to bring it back full circle....

Whoa is right!!

I can't wait to hear that motor blaring through the boom tube!!!

Get er done!

[badmatt]

FIRST, sorry had too


and congrats on joing the SB2 army.

[96z28ss]

And I don't think I've seen an SB2 head not flow 400+....

Just like a run of the mill ported LS set of heads.

[DFRESH]

Just like a run of the mill ported LS set of heads.

LOL--brutal man--LOL.

I'd still rather have an SB2 setup though--there is just something about them. I had a set for the race car---ended up selling them to fund the chassis setup. It's way outta the box---can't wait to hear this engine running and in the car.

Totally sweet setup DG. That was quite the score.

I am hoping to keep the boom tube but thinking I may add some short mufflers in addition to the inserts I have now. Orinda will not appreciate this noise and I want to be able to drive it around here. The avg age in my neighborhood is 68. :lol:

Yah but now I need to help out Todd a little, same buddy just finished dynoing he 69 Chevellle more of a street-touring BUT it has an all aluminum BB (Todd) and it made 636 na at the wheels :wow: On 92 gas. Now he has been building engines for years, he was part of the Fasttimes Motor Works guys back in the 90's running 10" tire cars! He is also building a Pro-touring 69 Camaro with a 500 plus inch all aluminum twin turbo made something like 1200 hp on the engine dyno!
But again his SB2 was killer! And it did beat BB's all the time :thumbsup:

[Sieg]

Should be fun trying to figure that part out. :lol:If you can't get a feel for it call me I'll come down and give you a ride-a-long.........if you put real Chevy stripes on it. :rofl:

Hey I was just at a Ford convention today with the Shelby Club. I felt right at home. :D

This will be the third 700+ crank hp engine I've owned... but first one NA... so it will be interesting.

Got some updated specs:

4.170 bore x 4.00 stroke = 437 cubes

Bullet solid roller
264/274 duration @ .050
113 LSA
.390/.390 lobe lift
Net lift is .663/.663 with the 1.7 shaft rockers

Also added to my order the stainless headers that I had not realized he test fit in a 68 Camaro with a rack and pinion. That should work out I hope. :thumbsup:

I didn't know they sold these at Bed Bath and Beyond :lol:

Is that a flexplate? Was he going to run an auto behind that? Big stall converter in that bad boy. I like the tri Ys.

Don't make me give you the full specs on my 2600psi pressure washer. :lol:

Yeah he told me he was gonna run this motor in a tri 5 but later when I asked about the headers said he test fit them in a 68 Camaro... and he didn't know yet I had a 68.

Those stainless Sb2 tri Y's are all over ebay as you know for 300-600+ bucks, but knowing this fit was worth the $500 extra I figured.

Nice score. :cool: Are you ever going to get that subframe home and start test fiting this stuff?

I wish I could score a set of stainless headers for that price. My headers will be a little harder to find second hand. :rofl: :rofl:
