1970 Camaro RS Operation Budget LSx

[1970camaroRS]

Here's what I did today to try to sweat out this terrible summer cold I have. I painted the engine bay in the Camaro. I didn't bother to take anything apart, all I did was degrease everything and I was very selective with the rattle can. Still have this summer cold though.

Also, Phase Two of my power program is coming in the mail. You'll never guess what I bartered to get it.

Here are a couple of before pictures:







And now a few after. Remember, this is a toy/race car, not something you'll EVER find at Pebble Beach.







I would say the next step is to actually install the engine!

I found this old video from 3 years ago and thought I'd share it. Still down with bronchitis, so no work on the Camaro.

I've got a secret. I'm going to be making more power than I said I would.







I worked this weekend, so I didn't have much time to spend on the Camaro. I did get the engine off the stand and onto the engine hoist. While I was trying to install the flexplate I found that the ARP bolts recommended by Summit we standard fine thread instead of M11x1.5. Correct bolts are on the way!

Thanks, I think that's the first time in my life that someone has said I do nice work. I should be making black stripes on the road late August or early September. Maybe.

Nice work on the engine bay.
