How is it that Sled Alley manages to keep the floor and shop so darn clean??? (asking for a friend

)
Stoked to see another Camaro coming along Mark, great work.

You're gonna want more power.

Remember the Mule? GREAT looking car and engine package. But Charley was bored to tears as it was by far the slowest car he had lol, hence the twin-turbo project. I love the idea of N/A and the big block look, but I'd want at least another 100 hp over what you've planned, and only do it once. Just a thought from an arm chair QB...

Matt and crew at Sled Alley clean the shop everyday. Always looks great. His attention to detail is very high.

A 600+hp/550lbft LS427 NA stroker seems doable with MPFI for the big block look you're after Mark... or a lightly modded LT4 dressed with a cross ram Z/28 air cleaner on top?!

Do an engine bay like this but not an A/C car but the factory BBC heater core box.

That's hot. I think this is a great look. The engine bay is amazing.

Mark, are you going to be using a Holley system for harness/PCM? Are you using the Lokar LS Classic pieces to dress the engine up? Looks great!

Yes Holley ECM. I will use a few Lokar bits like the valve covers.

Sled Alley is going to build the cowl air cleaner.

Looks great. Does it fit if you spin the TB 180 degrees?
