80 Trans Am Turbo build

Good choice Trey, car looks in great state, and I like the project... Why didn't you keep the old Trans anyway?

I was 16, no cash and needed a better daily driver because I hated my V6 Camaro, selling it was my only option to get something nice.

Got a little bit done today, I've never pulled a motor before and man was that a BITCH! Got the front bumper, hood and wheels on also, car is gonna look sick when it is finished, not to bad for a days work I guess.

I like it. I want to do a 80-81 rear end with a 77-78 nose too. I want to find a way to do a center exhaust exit and get the stance right. I am doing a 6.0L LQ4 into a 74 Firebird, so I will be following along closely on this one. Rushforth's look great on there.

That's an awesome idea, I have a SS Camaro center mount exhaust laying in the back of my truck so I am gonna rig it up on there and see how it looks. Not trying to steal your idea or anything haha.

I was suppose to get my LQ4 today but I couldn't get my damn tailgate open.

Are you going to switch the taillights and bumper to 77/78?

Looking good there Trey so did you sell newer camaro you had to? Pulling a motor is the fun part I think it's putting in one that was not suppose to go there and getting it right with all other goodies that can be a pain. Brandon
