B/M Phase III

Nice picture Mark. Thanks for the post. That has to be one of the baddest Camaros ever built. I've read earlier posts on the header to sidepipe connections but was wondering if there were any photos out there showing this.

There are a couple of articles in CARS magazine showing the header to sidepipe connection on Motion cars. The two methods were to tap the header on the side of the collector with the end of the collector capped with a plate. This would make it easy to uncap the headers at the track. The other method was to connect a custom "S" pipe from the end of the collector to the side pipe. Neither method was terribly efficient flow wise, but the side exhaust sure looks and sounds good.

Not sure why the Mexican Motion Camaro has Rally wheels on it now but I saw the Motion work order sheet for it and it had mag wheels on the parts list. The green Motion LS6 Chevelle that was in the Chandler collection also had stock wheels on it. I thought that was odd since a wheel change was usually done on the Motion cars.

It would be a real treat to see that car at our annual supercar reunion. Does anyone know the current owner? Would he or she be interested in attending?

When I bought my '68 MOTION CAMARO someone had bought New Rally Wheels from Chevrolet in the late '70's and put them on. I know of at least (5) more Motion cars with rally wheels. I am sure they came with custome wheels. Maybe when the custom wheels got bad they put rally wheels on them to match the spare?? I put the cragars back on my '68. As for the attachment Stephano is right, that is my NEW Yenko Camaro pictured with the green Motion. It was taken when Otis Chandler owned both cars.

The reason guys put stock wheels back on the Motion cars is out of ignorance. They see the cars that are restored with stock wheels sell for more than modified ones so they put the rally wheels back on the car thinking they are doing the right thing. However, with the Motion cars it is the other way around. The cars are worth more with the correct custom wheels. Also, many people still are in the anal restoration mode the magazines have pushed over the last 10-15 years. They feel any change from stock will have the restoration police calling at their door. Too many sheep in this hobby. Guess this attitude keeps companies like American Racing in business selling all those belly button polished torq thrust. The green '69 ran Ansen slots when new.

This is the car from the cover of the book American Muscle.

Yes, but the hardcover only. The softcover edition of the same book features a Hemi engine on thr cover.

Any of these Cars issues floating around? Were these connection pipes routed off the collector, then inside the subframe rail, passing in front of it then out to the sidepipe? Is there clearance for that, between the collector and the rail? Or were these pipes run around the rear of the rail?

I sold Kevin "Supercars" a NOS set of Kustom Headers for a sidepipe Big block Camaro. Maybe he can post a pic.
