rebuild - Section 2
The 12 point roll cage including the cage bars on the inside of the doors are complete. The fiberglass trunk lid plus a larger spoiler are installed. An adjustable acrylic section will be included to rear wing to increase the height and down-force and also allow for visibility to the rear. We used the steering/pedal assembly from the 2012 SS Camaro which required quite a bit of sheet metal surgery to allow it to fit and bolt it into the firewall of the 70 Camaro.
Driveshaft & headers
Sergio at Driveshaft Pro was outstanding. He immediately knew how to set the drive shaft up for my HP and for the 2012 Camaro TR6060 transmission and 1970 12 bolt Chevy rear end
Speed Engineering headers are well made, they fit my LS3 to 1970 Camaro frame rails and are a great value.
ACT clutch
I discovered that it had an ACT clutch, what a great bonus. It has dual disks and can easily handle my 600hp LS3. I called act, 206 East Avenue K4
Lancaster, CA 93535, 661/940-7555 and spoke to Mike a few times. He was terrific and helped me identify the ACT clutch model and provided information to get the setup up adjusted as we reinstalled it. I highly recommend ACT and Mike was most helpful!
The LS3 was rebuilt by Tony at TG’s Performance Engine Shop, a local custom machine shop with a great reputation. Tony, changed the cam, ported and polished the heads and matched them, added a larger throttle body, changed multiple other parts as well as checking at the bottom end.

Extreme Mufflers
Dan at Extreme Mufflers, https://extrememufflers.com/ have custom made mufflers for my 1970 Trans Am style street & road race Camaro. They control the sound without sacrificing HP or torque. I highly recommend them!
Dyno Tested, Race Proven Mufflers-Light Weight & No HP Or Torque Loss
Made In America
After many years of development and track testing, we can bring you the race mufflers that will meet local track dB requirements without giving up the horsepower you worked so hard to develop.
As we all know, the most expensive horsepower is that last 20 to 50 hp. Why give it away by installing just any muffler. Because the box claims high flow or race muffler, you may still be losing 15 to 30 horsepower with the installation of just any race muffler.
