Over the next few years I changed a few things here and there and it looked like this just before I blew the 383. Then I read Stielow’s book and went down the Pro Touring rabbit hole.

Instead of rebuilding the 383 I purchased a crashed 2001 Camaro for less than just a takeout engine, yanked the still running engine computer and anything else I thought was useful. I sold every salvageable part on it and scrapped the shell which almost brought me back to even and yielded an almost free engine! Lots of research on the various forums on mounts, headers, modifying harnesses, fuel systems and cooling until my head was ready to explode.

Very nice car! I hope mine, on a budget, looks half way as good as what you have done! What did you use previously for your disk brakes?

Thank you, Kreigh

The last set I had was a set of 13 inch Baer running on the AFX spindles. Before that it was just a set of Camaro disc. Thanks for the compliments.
