Just two weeks after project L89 hit the roads, the Camaro was back in our shop for more modifications. Although the M22 seemed like it would be a good combination on the car, the stock linkage and lack of 5th gear got the best of JF. We called up our friends at Keisler engineering for one of their plug and play Tremec TKO 600 transmissions and a couple weeks later it showed up. Were using a brand new Centerforce clutch/flywheel combination and project L89 will be back on the road in no time with a nice new highway cruising gear and and a tight new shift pattern.

1969 Camaro L89 Pro Touring conversion
We’re down to the nitty gritty on this awesome 1969 Camaro build. We were able to preserve the original look of the car while tastefully upgrading the suspension and brakes with all of the top the line Detroit Speed and Baer Brakes products. Thanks to both companies for being such great suppliers both in terms of parts but also customer support!
The drive quality and handling are absolutely amazing. The six piston brakes come on like a brick wall on a foggy night. Crushing! She drives like a brand new sports car with classic body lines and styling. Best of both worlds!
