Reggie Jackson’s 1969 Camaro

The engine was built by GM Performance Parts and GM Performance Division with the help of NHRA racer Warren Johnson to show off the LSX platform. The 454 cu in small block LSX engine has been graded to produce 641hp and 611 torque. The engine is not fuel injected but instead uses a single Holley 950-cfm four-barrel carburetor.

The engine was built by GM Performance Parts and GM Performance Division with the help of NHRA racer Warren Johnson to show off the LSX platform. The 454 cu in small block LSX engine has been graded to produce 641hp and 611 torque. The engine is not fuel injected but instead uses a single Holley 950-cfm four-barrel carburetor. The cylinder heads used on the Camaro are prototype LSX heads using six head bolts rather than five to increase cylinder head sealing strength. On a side note to all engine swappers, this block has the ability to handle 2,500 turbo/supercharged horsepower because of it being iron instead of aluminum. The drivetrain uses a six speed T-56, aluminum driveshaft, and a 12-bolt rear axle with 3.91 gears. Front and rear suspension was upgraded by Detroit Speed and Engineering. With all this it is no wonder why GM says this Camaro will do a 10.80 quarter-mile.
