Progress on my 69 camaro

[will69camaro]

Pics soon to come hopefully. As of now i've fully insulated the inside to reduce noise. LT1 and T56 is installed and i hooked up all the wiring today (done by LT1350.com at a VERY good price). Headers are on, new plugs and wires. Need to install the bracket for the T56 hydraulics from the install kit. Should be driving it in a week or so. Need to finish up the tank (working on making sure the gauge is going to read right) and need to make the fuel lines.

I'll try and snap a few pics today and get them up so i can show you guys. Here are a few interior pics I have (nothing great but atleast something to look at). I'm trying to get the plate to work for the T56 swap but it doesn't want to let the hydraulic cylinder for the clutch assy to pass through the firewall. It seems to be getting hung up and wont go through. I'll work on that more today. Also we figured out how i'm going to make the tank work so that's no problem. Getting the fuel lines early in the week and picking up my 12 bolt rear with 4.1's posi and axles. Dash should be coming out soon to install the ultralite speedo and tach. I need to call the wiring guy back because there are a few plugs that i dont seem to have a home for (cant find the plugin) so i'll call him and ask him where they go.



The old shifter holes have a plate that cover them so dont worry about all the holes (factory one, one with the super t-10 setup and now, alot further back, the T56 shifter hole)

Here is an old pic of the engine, there is alot more done now (headers are on, plugs/wires changed, all wiring done, etc...)

Looking good; can't wait to see more of the car, William.

What brand sound deadener are you using, and is the LT-1 stock?

[will69camaro]

The thermal insulation is called Wrap on Water Heater insulation, which is a water heater insulator that a few friends i have are using (available at harware stores i got mine at westlake ACE hardware for 17 bucks for 1 x 36 foot roll). We used 3 rolls of that stuff then went on to use 4 sq yards of jute under the carpet (10 bucks a yard). All comes out to be a good bit cheaper than dynamat and it should do more than well enough for my application. I cut aluminum patches to cover the gaps to the trunk behind the rear seat, siliconed them into place as a temporary thing (didn't want anythign permanent because i might do something different down the road).
**Note: Girlfriend did most the interior insulation, i just cut the aluminum, she laid 95% of the wrap on and jute**(She is now, and i mean right now, under the car putting my O2 sesors in place)
Working now on the hydraulic T56 bracket still and i've almost got that in place.

The LT1 is stock for now with VERY few mods which include, no Cats, no EGR, AIR, or EVAP stuff, TB bypass, headers, CAI, Plugs and wires and true dual 2 1/2 in exhaust. More stuff in the future but for now it's just a driver.

You know LS1's are bad-ass and all but I still like the asthetics of the LT1 better as they have a bit more straight lines and sharp edges. Car looks great Will and congrats on having a car girlfriend...nice isn't it?

[907rs]

Oh yeah, she sounds like a keeper for sure!
