1972 Camaro Procharged LS1/T-56 17 year old kid - Lateral-g Forums

Rich I have run into so many problems with the front of the motor trying to get a good belt wrap on the water pump and crank pulley, so I sent a lot of my Procharger stuff to Street and Performance today to see if they can work something out. I'm waiting on my Wilwood master to be off backorder, and this week I'm going to try and clean the dimples I had to put in my headers so I can send them out for coating. I've been working like 70 hours a week trying to get some cash for the car saved so within the next few weeks I should be ordering the engine harness, the fans and radiator, my ATS spindles, hopefully maybe some brakes, and the rest of the filters and rails and odds and ends for the fuel system and gauges to fire this thing up. I got my hydraboost this week and threw the booster in. We started putting the A/C in so hopefully after this is done and the dash, rear seat and nose is on it can go for the cage!
P.S. we did a lot more on the A/C we're just waiting for the firewall plate to be back from painting to put in

Hey guys, been really busy all summer working like 70 hours a week, now I started school so between work and homework I don't have any time to breathe. I got a chance to work on the car today and got a lot done. Street and Performance sent me they're newest update to my front accessory set-up. This one looks like it's going to work, they just sent me one pulley wrong, and I have to figure out how to get the god damn belt on. I got the a/c box in, put the dash in for mock up when I bring it for the cage. I'm 75% sure I can put the computer under the dash, just have to try a few more things then I can order the harness. Also measured the spacing for the radiator so I can order that and started mocking up in my head the intercooler piping. So hopefully I'll be able to find some time and get some more progress for you guys

I'm hoping to go to Charlotte as a spectator without the car. Columbus Goodguys 2011 is the new goal. I'd rather debut it complete then in primer and such. I have a lot of work to do, but I'm not afraid of hard work so hopefully it all pans out

Hey guys sorry for not having so many updates been SUPER busy. I been buying some new parts and such, haven't really had a chance to do anything major to the car. Got the computer location mocked up, started mocking up the condenser. And even better news, the car FINALLY after 8 months has a fan belt and blower belt that clears with no problems, lines up and will work. So the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders with that

. I picked up a set of brand new Corebeau seats at a local swap meet for $550 for the pair, so I definitely scored there. The tracks are out of a 75-79 Firebird/Camaro so if anyone knows someone who needs the tracks I gotta unload em so I can get the right ones. I got my ATS spindles, and my Wilwood polished master. My radiator should be here within two weeks, and the second/third week of November the car is scheduled to go for roll cage, headers/exhaust, sub-frame connecters and all that jazz. And last but not least, I have been working my butt off in college and keeping that my number one priority for all you guys who have been asking about my school, I have a solid 3.4 gpa for 12 credits so far in my first semester so I am very proud of myself there. Hopefully I'll have some more updates soon enough enjoy!

Progress is progress -sometimes it's just collecting parts.
