Pro-Touring 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Supercharged LSA Swap at V8 Speed and Resto Shop V8TV
This Pro-Touring 1968 Chevrolet Camaro came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop wearing fresh paint, but the owner wanted some performance upgrades to match. The task is to install a supercharged LSA engine and a Tremec 6060 6-speed manual transmission, all without hurting the new paint. The V8 crew is also adding all the needed cooling, fuel, and electrical system upgrades required to make it all sing.
Cooling is handled by a C&R Radiator and coolers, and the cabin is cooled by Vintage Air. Under the car lives a full Ridetech coil-over suspension system, with hydraulically boosted Wilwood brakes. Our team is building a full mandrel-bent, custom-fit exhaust system for the car.
Tasks included notching the subframe to fit the LSA and the factory accessory drive system, and fabricating a custom smooth firewall and hydraulic clutch master cylinder mount, fabricating a and custom air intake system. Ringbrothers billet hood hinges support the modified hood, which was re-structured to clear the supercharger housing.
We'll be posting update blogs along the way as we complete this Pro-Touring 1968 Camaro!

@@V8TV thank you. Removed thumbs down.
@@jasonmacneil2256 Awesome, you're the first ever! LOL. Thanks for checking it out!
@@V8TV Sorry, I should have realized she wasn't done.
Really appreciate your no nonsense approach to building modified cars and making videos.
Thank you Earl! That's the goal, glad it comes across!
Incredible work, as always. This is another example where the details get lost because the installation looks so clean. And having to do all this post paint is always unnerving. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Charles! Jumping into a project mid-stream is tricky, for sure!
Better than my '68 Camaro, but you know, there's no bad '68 Camaros. This one is off the charts, great work guys. Thanks Kevin, well done man.👍
Kind words Bruce, thanks!
Love 1st and 2nd gen Camaros...
Sweeeeeeeet!
Nice work. Love the vids. Keep them coming
Thank you, and will do!
Top notch work. I like that radiator setup. Where is the heat exchanger?
I'm still waiting to be put on that 2yrs waiting list
👍👍👍
How much was cut off each end of the rearend
What is the reason/downside of the fans always running full speed?
The noise and the extra wear are my issues.
@@MrRoninala Those are the main reasons. Another side benefit is you can help regulate temperature as well.
For me!!!!! You shouldn’t have!
