70 COPO

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Bring your digi-cam, and fire away on the broach marks - the pad is bare metal. My car has it's original engine, trans and rear, along with the POP, original BOS and Yenko's Inventory Sheet - and was very complete when I bought it. The normal replacement items were changed, carb, distributor, alternator, water pump & exhaust, but otherwise it was all there. There are some minor differences between our two LT1's, and make for some interesting discussion.

Marlin...wasn't your Deuce featured on the Cars in Barns Website?

I'll be there with my cameras...

Rick,

Yes the dealers that knew about it could order it. How that all came together was through the zone reps as they were trying to spread them out to show the SCCA they were in production. Dealers within 300 miles of an SCCA race event were a priority for delivery.

Which would make a lot of sense with my car seeing that it has always been a Western NY car and Watkins Glen is real close. The zone rep for the area my car was found also ordered the 1969 Camaro Pace car for Watkins Glen.

"Original motor in your car?
Phil "

Yep, Original Motor, Tranny (Auto) and Rear. Even the carb is original. The only non original part is that someone added headers, but the exhaust manifolds were in the trunk, so before SCR9, the headers are scheduled to be removed next week. she will be back to bone stock.

Let me see what my mechanic has to say after he inspects and tunes her up, I am not the best driver, but if he gives the Ok, then we might have a race!

Now this would be great to see. Hmmm A 4.10, and a good reaction time.... Did you ever read the car craft from '70 where they drag tested a 70 Z28 and pulled a 12.9 out of it?

The weak link is always seems to be the stock driveshaft which usually fails at that point.

One of the the fastest regular road tests with the 70 Z28's were in automatics too. At this point you get your reaction time down and let the car do the rest. Road and Track ran a 14.2 with a driver and a full tank of gas. As I recall trap speed was a touch over 100.


OK. Marlin You may get what you want after all.

Rich...Most of us are crappy drivers so don't worry about that aspect of it. If it were mine I would leave the headers on it.

[markjohnson]

I agree, leave the headers on. I think I've mentioned this before but a friend on mine has a bone stock, never opened, stock cam,intake,carb etc. 1970 LT-1 out of a '70 Z-28 that was wrecked very early in it's life. He's had this motor for like over 30 years in his Corvette. He recently yanked it out and put the engine into his son's '69 Camaro with a four speed, 4.11's, and some small nine inch slicks. The car runs 12:30's and this motor is even a little tired after so many years of street driving. Those times say alot about the performance potential of that engine. That's Rat motor territory!

Marlin,

How's the deuce setup? Stock w or wo headers, cam etc?

I need to check the build sheet and see what rear is in mine.

Wouldn't a tall spoiler car be slower than a short spoiler car due to the added wind resistance at high speeds?

Stock - GM blueprint cam, carb, intake, TRW pistons, orig. rods & crank, etc..., no headers, no traction bars (will add spring clamps after the Nationals), original leaf springs, original front coil springs, and some standard Pep Boys shocks - no drag shocks, no super stock springs, no lightweight stuff in the trans or rear or anything, and E70x14 whitewalls! (and the correct, original style battery - not a hollowed out job!).

LT1, M21, and 4.10's
