'69 Camaros have a killer design and become great Pro Touring machines. Your build is a perfect example guys. Love the Brothers Collection videos and we feature those on our website quite often, but this series is pretty good too. Keep up the great work

[@V8TV]

Thank you for the kind words! We do this kind of work full-time in our shop, happy to share it with viewers!

This is an excellent series. Would love to see more like this. But don’t stop with the brothers treats!!!!!!!

[@V8TV]

We have more to come on this and many other builds series, plus Brothers cars as well! Thanks!

[@GlassTopRX7]

It's going be brutally quick.

[@petemedina8446]

That's going to be a fast car nice work guys looking forward to the video showing the car run

Absolutely fantastic..💯%💕🙏🏻🏁💥💥🏆

[@josephhayek2364]

hello i m really impressed with your swap .my question for is where did u get your ECM . and how did u disable the immobilizer ?

[@projectgattago]

LT4 supercharger is 1.9L, same as the older LSA engines.

[@scribklu]

Isnt it a 1.7? gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lt4/

[@l2azorback]

@@scribklu It is a 1.7L

[@jaivette]

Tell me about the fuel system

[@skgenious]

I wonder how much something like this cost I mean the total resto package

[@tomhendrickson3817]

Well north of $100k!

[@BuRn1NgAnUs]

I've already asked why they went from the big block to the lt4, but another question I have is, why is it so difficult to get the big block to make all that power but not always be so "angry", is it possible to get a high-hp modern big block to be more "easy going", or is there no way to make them more street friendly while making big HP?

[@l2azorback]

Switched to the LT4 from BBC because of drivability....The LT4 has such an amazing powerband as compared to the BBC. Not to mention gas mileage 1650rpm @ 75mph. This car has a 23.5gal tank so you can literally load up and have confidence that you won't have to stop at every gas station (unlike the BBC). The surprising benefit of the LT4 conversion, is we landed somewhere near 760hp at the crank (670rwhp), and this thing is a monster. More HP and torque than the BBC. Win-Win :o)

[@BuRn1NgAnUs]

@@l2azorback All true.. But I wanna know if its possible to get similar drivability out of maybe a smaller displacement supercharged big block? Because I've heard a lot about people getting 18-20mpgs from their modern BBCs, probably cruising at 1600ish rpm, or is there absolutely no way around the lesser drivability?

[@V8TV]

To answer your question, the way to make power with a naturally aspirated engine without forced induction, is by maximizing the compression and the amount of air the engine can "process". Raising the compression ratio increases the "squeeze" on the air / fuel mixture, resulting in a more powerful combustion event. This bigger boom in the engine reduces the smoothness of the cycle, and is a characteristic of an "angry" engine. Supercharged engines run at a lower compression ratio. The cam profile is also a factor, as with a high-horsepower naturally aspirated engine, the cam needs to open the valves as much as possible for as long as possible to get as much air in and exhaust out as possible. This high overlap and long duration translates to a lumpy and rough idle. Supercharger camshafts are designed to open quickly and close quickly to allow the most cylinder pressure, and the result is a far smoother idle and engine. SO, you certainly can reduce the compression and cam profile to make the naturally aspirated big block less angry, but you sacrifice the power. Keep in mind that the supercharger forces air and fuel in, making the displacement of the engine seem far bigger than it is.

[@V8TV]

It's hard... part of the inefficiency of big blocks is the large crank and rod journal sizes that create internal friction and drag. You can supercharge one for sure, but a small displacement big block will make less power than a comparable sized supercharged LS.

lsa blower is 1.9
