Yeah, nice guy. I'm sure he would help, if you can get a hold of him. I believe he owns a shop in Maryland. I'll see if I can dig up contact info.

Awesome! That would help a ton. Finding any info on these cars is super tough.

I would suggest a 6.0 for that kind of weight. A 5.3 will be pickup-truck slow.

Build has started!



Just arrived off the truck



Vinyl top removed



Getting dissasembled at my salvage yard.





Some speedholes in the floor.







Rear full floater axles with a single WOODRUFF key, not splines...



Front Brakes





2nd Gen Suspension. I need to cut the mounts off the RR subframe and weld onto the camaro one.


I mean If i'm going through the trouble of swapping something in....might as well right??? I was planning on doing a 5.3L LS, but that's so boring.

A few too many brake lines

The rules used to be that the car couldn't cost more than 500.00 except for safety items. Has that changed ?
