Engine

Back in the sixties your top brass Chevrolet Camaro could push out an impressive 425hp but with this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Restomod you sure got a whole lot more. Pop the hood and the first thing that catches your eye is the brand new high quality hood hinges and then its real masterpiece a fully built 383ci V8 crate motor which is capable of pushing out more than 500hp. There is a host of modifications done to the car as well the go faster bits include a tune up, 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor, electric fuel pump (with inline filters), hydraulic flat tappet Thumper Series cam, and brand new Chevy Proform Parts air cleaner. To help it breathe better and sound better there is a GM High Performance aluminum intake manifold, full-length custom headers with a full dual exhaust. Cooling also isn't an issue thanks to braided stainless lines all around the motor, aluminum radiator with a chrome radiator support, dual 10" electric fans with Painless Performance relays and a high volume electric water pump. More power calls for more efficient ways of handling it, and the Muncie 4 Speed transmission which is connected to a 3.73 12 bolt Posi rear end ensures that the power can be put down more efficiently. The suspension components also have been upgraded as well to handle the power starting with Moroso/Comp Engineering subframe connectors and new front suspension bushings, sub-frame bushings, leaf spring bushings, inner and outer tie rod ends, upper anti-sway bar. Lastly all this performance comes to a steady halt with this car’s power front disc brakes.
