Don't be scared of his Camaro.. 69' are nice but they aren't all they're cracked up to be. How do I kno? I live in the midwest, fucking hot rods and hicks all over. So us Midwest tuners take pride in spanking the breakin the big boys toys. My friend had a 69' Camaro SS, with a 454 in it. Headers, Exhaust (purple hornies), and a little bit of engine work. Anyways the best he could get out of it was low 14's. Then a drunk driver decided he didn't need it anymore. I say drop in a SR20DET (that's the turbo Silvia/JDM 240sx motor)into it with some nice goodies.
Even an average modded S13(that's the Silvia again) motor can run 13s. But you know what. Call him a punk. Tell him he's a turd. Cause his "super domestic powered" 4cyclinder Pontiac ain't shit. SO tha's why he's gotta get something else.
Him changing his car to a decked out 69'Camaro. Is like you changing your car to a Supra or Skyline.. they're both the creams of the crop.
Oh yeah, he's getting a 350 to build cause they're cheap to buy and cheaper to build up. (aftermarket wise, parts are cheaper)And the engine is lighter than a 454block. If he builds it up and puts a Blower on it(a supercharger)...it's going to be very fast.
