- We took a ratty 1969 Chevy Camaro and stuffed it with 502 cubic inches of tall-deck LS, then put a world-class racing suspension underneath. Find out what it's like to drive this 580 horsepower brute on the street and on the racetrack, with a special guest appearance by professional driver Conrad Grunewald.

This is what I need to do to my '69 Camaro. Thank you for the inspiration guys!
502 cubic inch LS motor. Dang that's a massive LS.
Any updates on this ground pounder? Just a sick ride, well done! Who is the opening guitar riff done by?
Is this the definition of “Function over Form?”
69 camaro rat rod...i hope to someday get mine going again, had it since high school...
This car shits on any exotic out these days! It just shits on everything
LOVE IT!
+David MuscleGuy Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!
I love this camaro...I have watched the video of the motor being built....what a great car....awesome
+Garrett Jurgens Thanks for checking out the video and be sure to follow the build at www.chevyhardcore.com to get the latest scoop on what's going on!
+Power Automedia Thanks I will....really great car though
As a late 60's/early 70's old hot rodder, I Love it!!!!!
"Death Missile"
This Camaro is wicked!
+Jason O'Connell Thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for more as Blank Slate has limitless potential
Now that's my kind of Camaro..if it was a 67 it'd be perfect.
I would so love to have this car, I would electric cap the exhaust and finish it out with Gibson turbo muff's and drive it daily.
I love this car .. exactly what I want ..
That reminds me of my project 68 firebird 400. It was a sweat box.
my 68 firebird is an oven too. a 461 stroker and dual 3 inch exhaust doesn't help the cause but it's SO WORTH IT
Put vintage air in my 69. Best thing ever.
badass ride. hopefully it's at least one shade of primer now...
I'd rather have a built big block
Absolutely amazing! 😍😍

SWEET!!! Ahh the memories of my 'sleeper' '68 Camaro SS, a long, long time ago! Rusted out rear wheel wells but otherwise straight body! I owned it from 1978-1980 & I have been trolled so often when I describe the specs on, specifically, the engine. The motor had what was then called a 'full inch cam', which was very rare then. The original owner was a GM employee who had it built with that cam in it, but then the rest of the motor was a stock 350? I know, very odd. I 'spiced' it up a bit by popping it 30 over w/ 12:1 pistons, an aluminum Edelbrock Manifold & dropped in an M22 'vette tranny. I opted for a 12 bolt posi rear end w/ 4:11 gears, so it would be great off the line. It was.
Power Automedia, my question, to avoid & appease the trolls is, are you familiar with this type of set up? I also put in what was then called a lift kit to keep that uni-body from twisting off the line. That worked quite well also! Did I enjoy making the boys cry? Yes, I certainly did! Finally, here's a hint gentlemen, when a girl picks you up & she has 5 pts. in her vehicle, do NOT ask her if she can 'drive a stick'! Ha! It happened! Rock on all!
Them Were The Days Back Then !! i Had a 1969 SS Camaro Sounds Just Like Your Car Was ! Rock On Man !! Maggie Rezac !
god damm sound like the woman of my dreams I'm building my 72 Camaro right now hoping to have it ready by 4th of july
I'll guess the "full inch" cam was a reference to a full inch of valve lift. It would be interesting to know the duration of lift, since that full inch would have to clear the piston dome, and to get 12:1 CR I'll bet there was a bit of dome or some cylinder heads with real small combustion chamber. It probably bled a lot of compression off at lower RPMs for loping around the street. Meanwhile, was the lift kit a spring setup or did you put the rear axle under the rear leaf spring or was it "slapper bars".
@@albertgaspar627 Greetings! What a delightful blast from the past, so to speak! And yes indeed, 'loping' is the perfect word for that idle! Had my tach set at 2G to idle, just to keep the damned 'thumper' funning. That was part of the whole sleeper thing 😉and being the proverbial blonde girl!
I actually bought it from my big brother for, ready, $500.00! Glory! I did drop a valve early on which led to the rebuild with the 12:1 pistons and so on.
Yes indeedy the lift kit was the spring setup and I am impressed that someone remembers those bastards!
Have an outstanding day! Cheers!
@@maggierezac5820 the "old technology" is fun to play with still. I have an Olds 455 with variable duration lifters--they bleed off oil below 3,000 RPM, so my .490 lift/260 duration hydrualic camshaft really idles nice since its lost lift and therefore lost duration. But after 3,000 RPM, it runs like the cam grind that it is. I can actually leave the automatic transmission in top gear and it will pull clean away from idle to 5,500 RPM that way.
Matched up to it is a GM torque convertor used in the early 1960's, called a Switch Pitch Torque Converter. With a push of a button, I can change from an 1,800 rpm stall speed to 3,300 rpm, and that allows me to have a "race" type torque converter for fun or a normal one for driving around town. Now transmissions have lock up torque converters to create a similar effect, but its a toy to play with.
In the end of the 1970's, Bruce Crower came up with a cam design that held the intake valve open almost until detonation. It required a 14:1 compression ratio since it bled so much of the intake charge back into the intake manifold runners as the piston rose up to TDC. but it was intended to use the higher compression to obtain fuel economy via efficiency and make power. The result turned out to be not a lot of power at lower RPMs but sustainable power in the upper RPMs. Around that time engine builders were learning how to work with the lower compression ratios needed for low octane fuels, and so Bruce Crower's design disappeared--but i saw it once on a car and surprised its owner by knowing all about it :)
I'm glad you had those memories, and I hope that soon you are able to get back into the "toy game". I got my Oldsmobile with the 455 engine for a song and dance as the owner was going to electric cars--there's some deals to be found out there.
i hate big wheels on old cars. the tire sidewall is too small for the styling of the body, and the ride height is too tall. the ride height of a car should be at MOST the height of the sidewall. better if less.
I agree with everything you said but they don't make performance tires in 15" other than slicks. If you want a sticky tire , you gotta go with at least 17". I love the look of bfg's on 15" ralleys but very little traction.
I get the whole looks thing but from the performance side a thinner side was does help turn in
Thats the beautiful of creating thats why its personal preference go build it your way and enjoy it
id think a solid roller cam would be better for the rpm ranges yall are looking at. just curious.
I'm thinking mid 1:20s @ Streets of Willow?
I have a 1969 rs z/28 camaro get that ls engine the hell out of that car old school is the way to go.
Exactly what I said above, but I Don't have one! :-(
Hello, I know this is a stupid question so sorry, but Im trying to learn. What does it mean referring to the motor when he says "tall deck"? Thank you.
Tall deck refers to the height of the deck of the block when measured from the centerline of the crank shaft. Standard deck height for an LS is 9.240 inches. With tall deck blocks, that height is increased (typically) to 9.700 inches. This allows for longer strokes to be use in the engine and thus increases displacement.
No, it's a different casting. www.texas-speed.com/p-606-rhs-tall-deck-ls-race-block-9750-deck-height.aspx
so is it really an LS? or LS-geometry aftermarket casting
LS geometry after market. Just add a bit more on the cylinder for extra bore stroke.
No such thing as a stupid question, on stupid answers. Good to you got some really good answers
Where can I find the suspension set up on this car
You guys ready to sell this thing
What’s the suspension set up on this car??
A tease video.
This isn't nitpicking. The word "NASCAR" refers to the sanctioning body, not the cars themselves.
by any chance does anyone know what rims those are??
America bring back the 70s
Would u sell it
song at minute 0:09?
J’adore 😍
No shows a bit of an overstatement, you could spend half an hour throwing eggs and toilet paper at it and it’ll still look better than most cars you see in the way to the shops
What's the current weight of the car?
+Sai Namuduri With the weight of the car changing with each modification, here's the link to follow our build thread of Project Blank Slate: www.chevyhardcore.com/project/project-blank-slate/
I wouldnt even paint it just leave it like that,dents and all.
I love it. Finding more power should be np. 1.16 hp/ci is WEAK
Not really.
*heavy breathing*
looks like another dreamer never to be finished 1st gen Camaro... lame
no updates in years.. probably rusting away somewhere
How much do you want for it lol
