I just thought I would post a pic of my two toys. I took them today in my back yard.

Stock 2005 G35 6mt laser/graphite prem aero pkg and sirius

1969 Camaro Z/28 434 ci Small Block Chevy 584 RWHP, 700r4 4 speed automatic with overdrive, 12 bolt posi rear with 4:11 to 1 gears.

 

damn nice back yard... u should get some concrete and make a little straight away to drag... hahah thats my dream goal... get a "run way" in my back yard... just incase the pres wants to stop by and say hello, he has no excuse...

 

shiz. what a ride...i meant rides

 

HotRod,
434 small block?? is that a huge bore with a short stroke? or is it a "454"
big block.. which would make more sense. If in fact it is a 434 small block chevy, even though its not G-related. please give a bit more info on the camaro motor...
thanks RichB
old gearhead! from the 70's

 

Rich,

It is based on a 400 ci small block chevy. I don't remember the Bore and Stroke off hand I think it is 4.165 bore - 4.000 stroke. It does have a large stroker crank and the block had to be machined to make clearence near the pan rail for the big end on the rods. I had the Bottom end/ short block assembled by Speed O Motive in west covina Ca. I did the assembly work on the rest of the motor.

 

Man, you have the exact setup I want: My G35 and a 69 Camaro. Problem is that a decent condition 69 is expensive as hell lately.

 

Nice combination!

 

you can get a shell that needs work for about 6 grand. prepare to spend another 14 to 16k on the engine and trans. and another 2 to 5k on the rear end. 5-8k to for paint and another 5-6k on the interior and if you want to really do the front end up right another 4k. But when you are done you will have a 650+hp engine running on pump gas with no power adders ( turbo, S/c or juice) that can shread even the largest tires in seconds and handle as good as the G.

 

Nice "toys".

 

Nice chevy, how long did it take you to restore it to its current condition. I have a 72, but I love the first Generation and want to sell and get one, but they are pretty pricey.

 

three years, I did all the work myself including the paint (painted it right in the garage at home).

 

Nice! Where in NJ? I'm in Pequannock by Wayen....I have a 68 LeMans Convertible and a red G35 6MT

 

Mullica Hill its about 15 miles south of cherry hill.

 

HotRod,
You had the right answer, i forgot all about the 400 small block.. it used to be 30 over on the 327's for a mean 331 ci small block. That seems to be a real nice combo, the small block with the 69 hugger, the big blocks used to wear out the front end components... nice set of toys. I my self have a 74
Z1-A 900 kawasaki.. this is my vintage toy...
see ya RichB
