Camaro Engine Swap

[Rickracer]

A passenger seat cover and a shifter.

check this one out... I have mine ordered right now, along with the Tuner for my gto (to kill skip shift and tune it). finally B&M released a ripper for my app. If MGW had shifters for the goat, I would have went that way. the stock shifter is so buttery- there was people paying $400+ for shifters imported from OZ, whereas this BM works better, and is only $165 SS shaft- ohhhhh ahhhhh

Well I got the donor ahead of time! Guy called tonight said he wasn't gonna be home tommorow but was tonight. So I went and picked it up, and the tow cost me nothing I switched the plates off of the 85' and called CAA The driver knew what was going on but was nice and hauled it. Heres a pic of the donor, you can see the nice, fresh rebuilt block under all that crap

[10.5' Tunnel]

I just ran it and holy sh*t its awesome. The guy also threw on a new alternator, along with a new rad. Man I'm sorry for posting so much but I'm so damn happy

man get that TPI on there and get a tuned chip from TPIS... that thing will have so much bottom end you'll think its a big block. find siamesed runners and it'll pull like a raped ape to 6500.

PS- Lmfao, talking about 3rd gens on the computer and listening to Hair nation on Sirius! Dokken rules! :headbang:

BTW- I have a set of new blue powdercoated center bolt valve covers. you need them? $25 to pay for shipping and they are yours.

Thanks for the offer 1bad, but I think I'm gonna get a set of the crinkle finish from gm. I almost got the cops called on me today by the old man across the street that called the cops once because some kids (Like 9 and 10) were playing basketball at 9:00 at night. I can't wait till he hears it when I put the headers on and hook it to the system in my 85 It was just idling too

[10.5' Tunnel]

Engines out, and I found the transmission problem. The input shaft has a bunch of busted teeth on one of the gears. I'm gonna go out tommorow and get some cheap, temporary valve covers. The block should clean up pretty nice Its amazing how much faster it was to get this motor out then the fuelie one Busted input shaft

The block, needs a clean and some dressup but others wise nice

Some places can take that out, did it crack the paint or kink the metal? Whatever you do, don't try to pop it out yourself

[baja200merk]

it cracked the paint and kinked the metal! this sucks oh well gotta sell it haha go find me an iroc or maybe a stang i dono...

[10.5' Tunnel]

Go with the stang if your not planning on modifying it. If you are, try and find a nice 350 Iroc/Z28 I got the engine in, and yes the stock manifolds are on. There just there for tuning and stuff until my new headers arrive. I can't wait to start dressing her up. I also found out what caused my transmission problem, there was no retainer on the input shaft!

[10.5' Tunnel]

I got it all wired up and ran it today, it sounds awesome Still gotta finish a lot of the wiring, but the bulk of it is done Never was really good with wires, and I didn't burn the car down

[10.5' Tunnel]

Now I'm just waiting on parts Good thing is one of the guys at a performance shop I go to wasl ooking for a rolling chassis for a drag car, and might partial trade me a rebuilt t5 for it

[10.5' Tunnel]

EVERYTHING but the exhaust is on! I was able to back it outta the garage and put the hood back on, but the open headers didn't go over well with the neighbours at 10pm My stock y pipe is WAY off, so it looks like a whole new 3" system is gonna be fabbed up
