We're at about 2,000 feet here, and it was quite cool last night. The leaves are turning color already.

I wish our leaves were. Ours 'done burned up' a few months ago...LOL

At least is was only 86 this mornning when I went to work...It's 96 now...at 10:18pm...a cooling trend!

I would bet that it is BORED and STROKED with "EXTENSIVE" HEAD WORK to the ALUMINUM HEADS and LARGE ROLLER CAM,running HIGH OCTANE FUEL,LARGE CFM CARB,To look as stock as it does and to run those numbers it has to have a lot of internal work!Can anyone tell by the photo what block it is and what the heads are.Could it be one of those Donovan aluminum blocks worked over to increase the Cubic Inches To "VERY LARGE NUMBERS" I know you can get as much and maybe more than 632 Cubes from some of the Donovan blocks.Personally I am unable to tell what block it is.But it sure sounds GREAT and Performs EXCELLENT!

I was told it was over 600 cubes. I didn't catch his burnout on video, but the throttle response was instant while heating the tires. I'll make it a point to talk to him next time I see the car. I've only seen it twice.
We only have a couple more Street Legal nights left in the season.

I thought it would be some kind MEGA BLOCK or something to turn those kind of times, it takes a LOT to turn a 9.78 @138 MPH! especially looking as stock as that car does!Doesen't matter what kind of block it is though because it is a FINE looking ride and SUPER FAST!Whoever built it went for a GREAT LOOK and knew what they were doing that is for sure!One BEAUTIFUL CAMARO!Can't you imagine a YOUNG BUCK pulling up besides you in his HONDA with the EXTRA LARGE fart can muffler and revving his engine at you at a redlight!When the light turns green all he would see is the AZZ of a FATHOM GREEN 69 CAMARO bumping gears until it was out of sight!

with a 4spd and a little air in second

challengers beware. THAT is a sleeper!

[StriperSS]

It seems I do have a video of the burnout, just not from the start. It's a little clearer than the run.
I have another short video of a really clean 55 Chevy waiting to run too.

[StriperSS]

This is a really clean looking car. It ran a high 10. Sorry, no video of that.

[StriperSS]

The car showed up at tonights cruise in north Edmonton, and I spoke to the owner. It's an original COPO car that he's had for awhile, and all the original parts are safely tucked away while he has some fun with the car.
I asked about the block, and displacement, and he tells me it is currently displacing 479 cubic inches in a ZL-1 block.
He's running a 10.5 inch tire, a Jerico 4 spd and fiberglass monoleaf springs. He has a bar setup to keep the rear planted, and it seems to work.
Last friday was his best timeslip ever at 9.71 and 139 mph. It was also his best 60 foot time too.(Sorry, can't remember that number) He has a removable cage for it that has satisfied the tech inspectors at this track, as well as Mission, and Saskatoon.
I'll see it in action again tomorrow night as our weather is forecasted to be good. It sounds like a lot of fast cars will be there tomorrow to take adsvantage of the cool autumn night air.
