I don't know about you guys but I don't trust four little bolts in aluminum holding a 700lb BB Chevy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

BTW great looking car. Good luck with the sale. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Is this the car Pat built?

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Yes, this car was built and restored by Pats pro autobody in wisconsin. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Here…maybe this will help you sleep better at night. I’m not sure of the specific type of aluminum that the manifold is made out of so we’ll assume it’s 6063-T5 aluminum for this example and that the carb studs are the typical 5/16-18 and made of SAE Grade 2 Steel.
The first thing to determine is how far the stud goes into the aluminum…in this particular example the threaded depth at which the stud and the aluminum can handle the same amount of force (tension) is 0.385 inches. At that depth the mathematical failure will occur at 1551 pounds (for one fastener). If the stud is turned in further the stud is the weakest link (will fail at 1551 pounds) and if the stud is turned in less the aluminum will fail first (at less than 1551 determined by the actual threaded depth).
So in theory you would only need one carb stud to hold up the engine and I’m sure the manufacturer of that plate that connects the engine to the engine hoist ran the calculation otherwise I could definitely see a lawsuit if the engines were falling off the plate.
It is important to note that the above information assumes a purely static loading (just hanging there) with the stud concentric to the threaded hole. But if the engine is swinging it’s a different scenario because you’re adding dynamic loading which may add shear stresses among other things…but I would think you’re still pretty safe as long as you’re not swinging the engine like a kid on playground swing.
Disclosure…each situation is unique and many factors play a role for component failure in real world applications such as thread condition and material used…the above example is for information/entertainment only and is not to be used as a basis or justification for doing something stupid. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I knew you were an engineer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I used to have a CNC Machine shop.

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Reasonable Offers..... email me. ( No i wont take $30k and your beat up harley..but thanks!)

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Ray:

First off, beautiful Camaro! It deserves this bump. Can you tell me what the cowl tag reads and what block you used (date and four bolt mains)? Thanks, Ed

[/ QUOTE ] I will get you the cowl tag info tonight Ed but i dont believe this car was an SS or anything special to begin with. Block was a late model 454 bare block when started. Was told it had 4 bolt mains but previous owner built the engine. Thanks- Ray
The car is now on EvilBay:

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Ray:

Not only was I looking to see if it had an X-code but I was also curious whether it was a Norwood Camaro and what the original color code was. Based on your response regarding the engine, it appears that you're not the person who had the car restored. How long have you owned it and do you know when it was completed? Thanks, Ed

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Ed, not an X code car. Trim tag reads ST 69 12437 VN223539 BDY first line TR 715 50 50 PNT second line and 2c 0158 third line. Ive had the car since march and it was restored afully about a year ago. Thanks- Ray

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Last chance till spring! going...going.....gone?

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Very nice car. There was one similar at Mecum two weeks ago, I thought it may be your car but it had white interior. It didn't sell and the owner was never around the car after the auction.

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Well if this one doesnt sell soon, ill probably just wait till spring to sell it or take it to one of the auctions then! Thanks! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Price reduced to $50k firm. This is a trailer quality rottiserie showcar guys!

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Springs coming and the price will only go UP! Tucked away for winter sleep in my garage at the moment.

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

Wow..thought this one would be gone by now. A few more months till springs here....

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

the 30k and harley is looking better and better https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro tribute

My Camaro is available again. Was going to keep it but decided to sell it one more time! Price is $50k! Thanks- Ray
