Redoing that old Camaro

[js292]

Looking good, i think you still have a little room to add more stuff under the hood

Looks like I'll have to build the headers myself too,

I hope you'll do a step by step build pics of that.

Nice job, I like the truck.

 

[Twin_Turbo]

I will, it's going to be a PITA I'm sure, I'll fab them from stianless or maybe inconel. I have inconel filler rod. I was thinking about maybe getting some cheap used nascar headers and cutting the flange off and connecting it to an ls7 flange. The ford stuff has spread exhausts like LS.

 

[Twin_Turbo]

Woohoo parts for the TA

Major step ahead! Soon I can start building the rest of this engine.

That is nice marck, it is the motor for my old trans am right?

 

[Twin_Turbo]

Yes

hey, is that the short block that too so long to build ? good to see you finally got it.....

What are you doing with the rear ends in these cars so they hold up to the power. I am planning to add some big HP to my 96 Z28 and from what I have read the factory 10 bolt is only good for 350 HP. I am going for 500hp so the plan is to upgrade to a 12 bolt. I will also probably have to add a viper main shaft etc to my T56. Sorry if you posted about this in the thread and I just didn't see it.

Yes, that's my 495LSX I don't have it yet, it';s now?? in TX where the container is. Took almost exactly half a year to get done... apparently ther was some delay w/ the custom crank & pistons...


Josh, I'm using australian 9 bolts that I built up, haven't broken one with a 406 equipped 3rd gen, opr the sc camaro although that one hasn't seen a lot of WOT yet

The prob is you have a small 10 bolt and I don't even think it has 31 spline axles like the late 3rd gens do. Also you need that abs reluctor ring on the inside? Or do away w/ ABS

If mine breaks I'm getting a moser 12 bolt.

I am going the moser route, I have been thinking of ditching the ABS and putting wilwood calipers and rotors on it. I still haven't fully decided on what motor to run. You are going to have a nice pair of F body's when you are done.

more stuff







Hey Karsten...watch your mailbox LOL

 

[Twin_Turbo]

A little fuel pump w/ pre and post filter. -10 fuel lines. I may end up running the pressure regulator in the back and using a dead headed line to the carb. Don't feel like running 2 -10 lines to the front. I can run 1 through my pass side SFC

 

[Twin_Turbo]

yeehah ! finally... the stinking snow is gone and it's a bit better weather... 1st street trial runs

 

[mrvette]

Is THAT where those 3X priced bolts went????:crutches:


But sounds great.....

 

[Kid Vette]

[1Michel]

[MYBAD79]

[Twin_Turbo]
