Pro-Touring 1969 Camaro Supercharged LT4 Swap Install Video V8TV PART 1 V8 Speed & Resto Shop
V8 Speed & Resto Shop - (314) 893-8325 - www.v8speedshop.com/contact - This beautiful silver 1969 Camaro Pro-Touring car is no stranger to the V8 speed and Resto shop. The first time it visited, we disassembled the car and installed Detroit Speed mini tubs, a rear QUADRALink suspension system with a Currie 9 + rear axle, and then a Detroit Speed subframe and suspension system up front.

We upsized the wheels with some Forgeline rollers wrapped in Toyo Tires, and added oversized Baer brakes actuated by a HydraTech hydraulic brake assist unit. The car drove and handled very well, but the owner wasn’t happy with the aggressive manners of the 540. It was a great street / strip racing engine, but it wasn’t happy doing casual weekend rides and city driving.
He sent us the car with a new mission, keep the power but add some refinement. Make it a little more reliable and less angry without decreasing performance. This was a tall order, but modern technology provided the solution, a Chevrolet LT4 Supercharged V8 engine. Follow along as we install the 700 plus horsepower engine, high-pressure fuel system, dry sump oil system, methanol injection, a C&R cooling system, and all the electronics to make it run. It uses a Centerforce DYAD Clutch and a Tremec 6-Speed manual transmission.

Outstanding workmanship. Crazy customer but in end product is individual and incredible.
Thank you sir!
Thank you for this very quick and to the point mini documentary about this rebuild. I would choose that car over a spaceship if I had the opportunity and not kidding. That car is beyond verbal or written description.
Glad it was helpful!
Heck of a problem to have: enough money to make your car over 3 times😜
😂 right
Beautiful just beautiful
Great build up. Can't wait to see the wiring side of this project.
Wiring was accomplished with the GM Connect and Cruise kit....all in one package including Fuel Pump controller for the 2017 ZL1 pump.
Very cool ..these guys know what their doing and explain it in a way I haven't heard before ..if I had a project to do this is where I would take it☺🖒
Mon rêve!!
ကျိုက်တယ်ဘော်ဒီအင်ဂျင်ဒဇိုင်း❤️
great video dope an beautiful built
Thanks!
Beautiful Car!!👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic..💥💥🏁
Beautiful car.
Great Job! I only wish I had the money that this customer has.
Irrespective of which engine is installed, the car is stunning. But I prefer the big block installation, however, part 2 may change my mind.
Super cool man awesome build
You guys do awesome work
Thanks John!
Only giy iv ever known that DOESNT want a bigblock. Wow!!!!
beautiful work, really enjoyable video.
Great job/explanation brothers....Thanks for posting and keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful car!👌
That work you guys do with the panel work is next level fabrication.
Personally would have injected the BBC and used a 427 crank with an aftermarket aluminum block and made the power threw revs. HP power is way easier to manage then a ton torque and it's not like 500lb-ft isn't more than enough. I really can't stand the sound the LS\LT engines make that firing order change just sounds off to me. Everyone is different though it's gorgeous car and your work is excellent as always.
+GlassTopRX7 the BBC was fuel
injected with a stroke in it, 540 cubes. Tons of torque right now, but super lumpy idle and it didn't like staying cool for long. We fixed all that. Thanks for the kind words on the fab work!
I can certainly understand, my toy is a rotary power RX-7 with a large single turbo. I used it as daily driver for 18 years and if it was nearly as unreliable as most people think it is it would be LS powered today, having a sexy car that is broke down is pretty lame.
@@GlassTopRX7 I agree....nothing sounds like a stroked BBC
7 guys working on a car this engine job must have cost about 70 grand, maybe even 100 grand with all the custom work.
I wish I had that kind of money. It is what it is..
Thankfully, not $70k, and no where near $100k. It was expensive to say the least. Installing an LT4....you buy the engine for $14k and spend another $20k making it run (Clutch, cooling system, Heat Exchanger, Front Accessory Drive, Bell housing, Fuel system, and all the plumbing). Adds up quick
I'd invested that money like you know the stock market or something like that you know.......🧐🤝🍻🥴😷🙏
Nice ride view, where's this filmed at?
Juan Camaney I’m sure the owner made investments to afford the build obviously. This is a personal gift to ones self and it’s a classic which means you don’t have to upgrade every few years because it’s timeless.
Well, that's the candle burning at both ends and, thus, half as long. Wouldn't be the way I would go, but it is going to be nice, anyway.
WOW ! YOU GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL !!! YOU GUYS DO SOME BEAUTIFUL WORK !
HAVE YOU DONE ANY 1965 GTO's ? I think that would be my first pick for a dream car build followed by a 1967 Fairlane or 1968-9 GTX. I love the fact that you use " Detroit Speed " equipment for your builds ! Keep holding the torch !!!
Thank you so much Daniel! We've built many cars, we have a '66, '67, and '70 GTOs in the shop right now. You can see more of our work at www.v8speedshop.com/photos - thanks!
Couldnt ya make the big block more reliable with new school parts like EFI, electric ignition etc..?
The 540 was fuel injected with computer controlled timing and ignition. It wasn't a reliability so much as a driver experience challenge... it was really too much motor for the street for our customer.
I would kept the the first engine in it the big block is fire 🔥
@@V8TV but was it more powerful than the LT4? 640hp+ is quite strong, what exactly is the difference?
@@drm9979 This car had 723hp at the crank with the BBC, would foul plugs and buck and jerk driving in residential areas due to the extremely large cam (wanted to go wide open throttle and sing). This was not practical for how I wanted to drive the car/nor where I live. Now the car is ~760hp at the crank (670whp), and has the driveability and a wider powerband as compared to the BBC. Not to mention, you couldn't pass a gas station with the BBC, the Gen 5 LT4 is just a better powerplant on all fronts (imho)
sir,can you do a video how to identify a 1967,1968 and a 1969 camaro if you dont know.i know how know how to identify the 3 camaros but some subscribers dont.
Who did the initial work, that left the car leaking and rusting in such a short period of time?
Jesus what all did that cost?
You say it was not really reliability (which did'nt make sense anyways with an injected aftermarket engine totally newly built) but "too much of a motor for the street".
So what exactly is now the difference..especially when the customer wanted to keep with the power levels. Does the LT4 accelerate the Camaro as quick as the BBC did?
It seems to me the customer just wanted to have something more sophisticated and fancy
That is a great question, and there are many differences. First of all, the power levels are similar at the end of the day, but how they are generated is vastly different. For example, the big block was a high compression, naturally aspirated engine designed to squeeze maximum power out of every drop of fuel. This meant that the idle was very rough, the engine was very loud, And it was really designed to be a drag race engine only traveling a quarter-mile at a time. The LT4 provides very similar acceleration, but it creates its power using the boost of the supercharger, so the compression ratio is far less, And the camshaft profile is designed to build cylinder pressure which often times equates to a smoother running engine. The big block had the typical lobby, lumpy idol where this one idols and runs very smoothly. Under low and part throttle situations, the supercharger is basically just going along for the ride and drives like a late model naturally aspirated 6.2 L V8. But once the accelerator is mashed, and the boost builds, the acceleration is actually more aggressive than the big block Chevy was. A side benefit is that the car is comfortably quiet to drive, so driver and passenger can have a conversation going down the road without shouting. It also starts easier than the high compression big block, it creates far less heat, so the driver does not have to keep one eye on the temperature gage all the time, All of which add up to a far less stressful driving experience with equal performance levels. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for the feedback!
Direct injection provides more Power... But also causes a lot more Carbon buildup.. Not good
not with Methanol injection...hehe
Why do all that work to the firewall with setting the tunnel back? Makes no sense.
The LT4 needed more clearance to the firewall with the DSE subframe and the large harness and direct injection plumbing. Once we saw the rusty original firewall, the decision was to make a larger piece than just a dimple.
So nasty !
Blah blah blah...just show me the damn car already!
Rip apart an old car and turn it into something it never was so you can go shopping with less inconvenience...lazy rich folk with no appreciation of heritige
We think you're kind of missing the point on this one. This car was not built to go shopping, it was built to go very fast and handle very well and do it reliably. It was also built so that the driver can have a comfortable experience behind the wheel, and a supercharged late model engine is far quieter and better mannered than the racing big block that was in it before. It's also a bit of a stretch to consider anybody associated with this process as being lazy. But thank you for your feedback!
@@V8TV I completely get it. I didnt imply building it was lazy, its simply a lazy rich persons motor who cant be bothered with the slight inconveniences of the real thing that this car no longer is.
@@adm924s If you drove it, you would completely disagree with your posted statement, although there will always be purists. as an FYI, this was not a number matching car, it is a standard Camaro and an RS clone. No atrocities were committed in this build. I drive it like I stole it......far from a lazy rich person, I bust my hump to stack that paper like most hard-working Americans so I can fund my dreams!
