Butternut the Gumball Camaro

Looks great! Any chance the speedo cable is broken? It happens.

I suppose the cable could be broken, but it and the Tremec TKX are brand new. Maybe 300 miles on the car now. The cable was part of the kit from Silver Sport Transmissions.

BEAUTIFUL! FANTASTIC! Would you mind telling me you front spring part number and where to get them? You used your stock leafs? I was thinking of doing the same thing mine 47 years old still have a great arch. They have been in the car with Gabriel high jackers and 2 inch shock extentions for at least 25 years. The air shocks still held air!

Man, I don't remember the part number for the Eibach front springs. I bought them so long ago. I just tried to search both Summit and Eibach websites and now nothing comes up for them. It's looking like they're discontinued. But they are definitely for small block and 1" lower than stock.

Yes, I cleaned up, painted, and reused the original leaf springs. I set them side by side and the one with a tad more arch I put on the driver side.

But I think that's moot now, since I took them to Valley Spring Service in Phoenix for the re-arch.

Couldn't help but notice that green Ford in the background.

My bad. I did not know it was new.

In a different thread, one that is really about doing a TKX conversion, the OP, @George-CZ, also was curious about the fitment of exhaust pipes and possible physical interference. I shared what my configuration is, then the discussion of X-pipe vs H-pipe came up, and how different set ups produce different sound. I said I would make a short vid of what Butternut sounds like, albeit only backing out of the garage. I thought perhaps it might be appropriate in this thread as well.

Oh man does that ever look and sound nice! What size are your Cragars and BFG's?
