BUILDING The LS2 ENGINE For My 67 CAMARO And '69 Style WHEELS And TIRES

I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East. There isn't a lot of time to get ready so we're swapping in an LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking bit.ly/GoJnJOH
The LS2 is getting the complete Holley EFI treatment and some BRAND NEW HK Wheels as well. I love the way the wheels and tires came out, can't wait for the body work to match the drivetrain!

Ninja's poor tire machine is getting used like the village bicycle.

[@jmd7244]

Does ninja have his own channel like car Wizard?

[@jesusmercado6947]

I'm sure the car ninja well get tired of it sooner or later. lol

[@GiannisChristodoulou]

@@jmd7244 it is called "Velocity Garage"

[@TinS0lder]

Why would a village have a bicycle? It's not like it would fit multiple people?

[@rlessmeier]

@@GiannisChristodoulou that's it. I forgot what it was called.

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Thanks for your service Josh 👍👍 10 year British Infantry veteran, sore knees, bad back aching hips but a shit ton of great times!!!!

[@JackBWatkins]

“Thanks to Garry of RL Carriers” was a nice touch.

[@tony_25or6to4]

Wasn't it Wayne? 3:55

[@JackBWatkins]

Okay my bad Wayne, Garry, whoever, I am proud that JR made you a KZbin star.

[@BobDingleful]

Now I understand Josh's absence patterns and why he seems to have nothing to do but mess around with cars on a youtube channel when he is present. Cool that you serve Josh.

[@scubasteve2132]

when i get high weight req on tire balance a good trick is to deflate the tire break the bead and spin the tire 180* on the rim fill with air and try balancing again

[@WatchJRGo]

What's odd is the dot was lined up on all of them and that one tire was wayyy off 🤔

[@TroubleBKC]

confirm, this trick is really effective. especially with truck tires. Sometimes the tiny inconsistencies in the wheel and tire line up against you. At least that's how the old guy that taught me described it.

[@scubasteve2132]

@@TroubleBKC yessir excellent explanation

[@JT-fd3tf]

Also regarding 5:30, it's equally likely that the *wheel* is off balance. I had a motorcycle wheel where the heavy spot was opposite the valve stem. You adjust for this by spinning the wheel with no tire. Then you mark the heavy spot on the inside of the rim with a silver Sharpie. For that wheel, you line up the tire dot with the Sharpie mark.

[@jimagnew1305]

Really enjoying this build JR I'm looking forward to seeing the engine go in. Josh is a good guy you work well together 👍

[@Chrisgpop]

Two interesting things I learned from this video. Josh is in the military (thank you) and is also apparently a Steeler fan. Hey from Sewickley, PA.

[@aaronhanifen8823]

Already liked Josh but now even more of a fan!

[@scottcol23]

Yup, much respect. It appears he is a Master staff Sergeant in the Air Force. Cool

[@tuckerhunt5945]

scottcol23 just master sergeant

[@alexandermckay8594]

You guys need to pay more attention. He and Gabe are currently serving. That's why they disappear from time to time.

By most peoples standards, getting wheels and tires is a full build. Edit - Thank you Josh for your service!

After seeing the video using the base garage I knew someone was in the military. Josh, thank you for your service. Semper Fi.

I used to work for Rick's Camaros. They specialised in 67-69 Camaros. Rick had every Indy model Convertibles on the front line. You could rebuild as stock, better than stock and show quality. He sold out to Year One one his wife got sick. Nicest man you would ever want to meet.

[@dlinemusic]

[@SuperTr3s]

stoked for this build! Good luck

[@kevinc8574]

Those would look great on a '68 Riviera

Also pretty much a dead ringer for the Magnum 500 wheel from the late '60s Mustang.

Best build yet. Thanks

[@redneckbryon]

Thank Josh for his service.

[@dave1135]

I'm sure if the body, engine and trans were hashed, I'm betting the suspension and brakes need completely rebuilt

[@timothykeith1367]

Shouldn't be worrying about tires - rollers are adequate for now, body should be on a rotisserie

[@PhotonHerald]

We need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on this thing to get a sound body and mechanicals. So, the first thing we need to do is...PUT NEW TIRES AND WHEELS ON IT, even if the stuff we mount it to is going to change! *Facepalm* C'mon man! That's Hoovie shit!

[@aabidamn]

@@PhotonHerald He doesn't have much time to fix the car, only around a month if I'm not mistaken. In the last video he said that making sure that the parts arrived at the perfect time is one of the biggest hurdle. Therefore he works on parts that arrived the soonest, in this instance it was the wheels.

[@reelreeler8778]

@@PhotonHerald if I had to keep messing with the compressor to air up the old tires just to push the car around, i'd have put the new wheels and tires on it too.

[@HighSockDavid]

My 79 trans am was used and sat for 10 years and needs a full suspension rebuilt I can only Imagine how shot the suspension is

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

That intake.....cargasm..... Can't wait to see that beast all set up.

Good choice on wheels, after seeing that intake, your going to need a finned valley cover to make it look right

I really like the choice of wheels. It is going to look wicked when it is done.

[@stevenpdxedu]

Wait till you take your first drive, nothing feels like a vintage Camaro . . . there's just this weird sense of command or something. Stuck with me after all these years. Thanks for the fun now and to come.

[@jeffreyrigged]

all old cars feel that way actually.

[@chestnutquinton]

You guys have so much fun building this car...make me wanna just walk to the garage and just check something on my car lol...

[@RandomGuyDan]

IGK, you need to replace 60% of the body panels and rebuild the interior, it would seem like you probably won't need wheels and tires for months. But I do understand the excitement of getting new stuff.

[@dianelee2100]

I was wondering when you were going to do one of these. I just finished my 1969 AMC AMX 390 WORK OF ART. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BIT OF ADIVISE. Never let it get you down, power through. This is a lifetime investment that will always go down in your family PRICELESS. ONE thing I learned, do ever go cheap and never let it sit. Love it. Neal

Wow those wheels are perfect on that car

[@thelastmemphian]

Wheels are cool. Look like they should be on a Buick

[@Gramps83]

Yeah, or a Pontiac, or a Ford. I didn’t think Camaros came with Magnums?

[@macho4x4warlock98]

I agree...........

[@rogergoodman8665]

To me, the wheels look like a modern interpretation of the Chevy "SS"" wheel that came on a lot of Chevelle's & Camaro's in 1969 & 1970.

[@entropyfan5714]

My 70 442 had similar looking wheels too (only 14" of course). A whole bunch of cars in that era had similar wheels.

[@n84434]

You beat me to it. They look like the 15” Buick wheels that were on the Riviera in the late 60s......

[@mikelamb7605]

should have tried rotating the tire on that rim to see if you could reduce the weights required.

[@westonmickey3890]
