Thought you guys would like to see this.Brent Jackson The builder of the Twin Turbocharged 57 chevy,and the Look 69 camaro injected bbc camaro is at it again with a 63 split window corvette.We are rigging it on the dyno as we speak and I should have numbers for you guys on Wednesday.I know the motor looks like a clutter fest we haven't plumbed it in the car so it's just to run on the dyno.Anyways it's one of my TT355 sbc's it should make around 900 hp.I will have some pics from Brent on the car he's got a 345 tire in the back with a newmann chassis it's pretty sick.
That's awesome, Tom. I know there are quite a few fans here of Brent's blue 69 Camaro. We'd LOVE to have more pictures of that thing (hint, hint :D )since it seems to have gone into hiding since he sold it.

Yeah, I remember Brents blue 69 and the 57. Can't wait to see the 'vette.
Tom, how long would it take to get a similar motor combo from you?

Actually, I just payed it a visit last year! A local collector bought it from Brent and has it in his showroom. He claims to drive it, but I doubt it! I don't know the guy, just happened to be a guest to one of his open houses...my friend knew I would enjoy seeing the car, he was right!! Oh, and he started it up and let it run a bit, as well as a HIGH dollar ProCharged Chevy II. Yep, it was one of those nights to remember!! :thumbsup:

Awesome. Was that the last time you saw it?
I've always liked Brent's 69. I wonder how many discussions we've had over the color of paint.
Thats awesome! I think it was Brents Car that first introduced me to pro-touring. And a 63 Vette!! That will be nice!

Yeah, that was the last time I saw it. I'm sure he still has it, he was quite proud of it, he actually put me on the spot and wanted me to agree it was better than El Mule...all I could do is smile.
The color is a completely custom blend. Brent and the painter mixed it up the day they shot it and have no idea what it took to get it there. I got that info from Larry C., he asked Brent for me about a year ago. Yep it's a sweet color and awesome car, and man did it sound good!!
FWIW, I shot a fender Electron blue and thought it was pretty close, add enough pearl and I think you would be very close.
Jason at Timeless Kustoms (yes with a K)
is the painter on the car. He is in the process of finishing up the final details on my car. He is in Camarillo California - if you guys want I can ask him what the color is. Jason is also doing a lot of the work on Bren't car at his shop, I saw it and looks almost as good as my car - haha - anyway, let me know if you are interested enough for me to call him.

Can you tell me something about the Harmonic balancer on that particular motor? It looks like a saw blade to me. Could be an optical delusion. It may be the dipstick numbnuts question of the day but I am willing to "Take one for the team".

That 69 Camaro he did is what ispired the stance and wheels for my 69 Camaro. I really liked his ghost checkered stripes. Most people dont even know they are on that car. :thumbsup:

Hey Jim -
The saw blade is for ripping big sheets of 4x8 plywood.
Twin turbos get that blade spinning pretty fast. :lol:
Actually, it's the 60-2 tooth pickup for the Electromotive crank trigger ignition.

The Saw Blade A Get At Home Depot Its A Fine Blade It Actually Has 60 Teeth So I Use It As A Crank Trigger Because It's Metal And Works Great For A Crank Trigger Just Knock Off Two Teeth So The Management Nows Where It Is.just Joking It Does Look Like That Because We Used A Rough Universal Wheel.don't Worry About The Questions I'm Always Asking Them Myself.
