I've made a little bit of progress on the car but am still waiting on a few more parts.
I decided to go with a vaporware tank with a ZL1 pump. The guys at Ricks did a great job and were terrific to work with.
I also received my SW headers. In general these are nice but there were a few things I noticed could have been improved. At the collector they pinched the tubes down and did not clean up the inside. Also on the primaries they could have done a better job cleaning the area after the welding too. Nothing huge that a die grinder and some time couldn't fix. I did use the plates they sent and the fitting of the block with the clam shell mounts seems to be perfect. I never pulled the trans so it's in the exact position it was with the SBC. It bolted up pretty well, only needed to move maybe 1/2" which was simple.
I am very glad it is an aluminum block. It makes test fitting things soooooo much easier. Next thing I need to work out is the Alt/PS mounting. I want to place the alternator on the pass side below the water pump where the A/C compressor used to be. I also want the PS down fairly low on the driver side almost like the SC PS. I need to fab up some mounts when I find some time
Here is the factory 2010 Camaro mount with SW plates and Speedtech Pitman
Internal engine wise i have most of the parts. The block is honed for the new pistons, rotating assembly fully balanced with crank keyway added for the balancer. Custom cam from BTR is in along with the Johnson tie bar lifters. I'm only waiting on the heads.
TEA has the port and valve blueprint (45/50 angles) complete but also needed to change all the guides. Apparently they were completely worn out with only ~28k miles. BTR should have the heads now for final blend and assembly. I hope to get them back late next week.
Goal is to have the car running just after labor day. It's a bit of a stretch...
