subscribing... keep us updated! And the off-road rigs that you posted up are pretty neat. I actually wanted to do something to my 1994 GMC Jimmy (the daily-runner) but then I got my 91 TA convertible last August so all the money is going into that machine lol. Pretty much the only cash my Jimmy is getting now is regular maintenance and repairs.

I'm just amazed that your Camaro has seen over 300,000 miles! Nice!

toolegit86

still got to drill some holes and some more bolts.. i hope to get my spacers tomarrow so i can mount the z06 wheels

toolegit86

yea my wheelin days are over for now. i am just tired of that seen. ive owned tons of wheelers and crawlers and the camaro has just sat there. ive put it together a few times but took it apart. this time its time for a full remake. my plans are to run this small block untill i finish my 383 turbo set up. or find a ls2 or better.

the camaro has been a awsome car. always started and ran. even with high millage it still got it. i never really drove it in high school because i always drove my crawler cherokee. the body and drive train shows the high millage. i plan on taking all the drive train out and sand blasting them and painting it all.

toolegit86

any one know where i can get some ss emblems or z28 to get rid of the rs badges??
or the tall rear spoiler??

PowerHour84

I am sure you can find them on ebay

toolegit86

got my spacers and all the body kit is mounted and lookin good. i hope to get the motor ready to drop in tomarrow. and have the wheels on to

toolegit86

thanks i am going to order from hawks and get it all.

toolegit86

got the body kit all on... the wheels mounted. i used 2 1/2 spacers rear and 2 1/4 front. i got them all for 50$ and there trans dapt i think. going to start the motor work here soon

toolegit86

got to drive it today.. the carb i have is crap it needs better tuning. ill post pics of the motor and how it looks tomarrow.

Bowtiebruiser

Not bad at all and dont worry I feel ya on the should have shown it more love thing. I bought mine with the intent of a rebuild but they're so much damn fun to drive

toolegit86

got it all in primer ready for some paint.. still lookin at a couple diffrent paints.



pic of the motor bay.. I am going to sell this motor and build my turbo 383 set up.




next on the list.
paint
lower it
cage
motor build/ turbo
still need suspension bushings and shocks and struts
build the rear end- still making some funny sounds.

toolegit86

pullling the motor today... i hope. i have some one comming to buy it. i am going to build my 383 and hopefully get it boosted buy next season. idk i just got a house yesterday so ill be moving and thats a pain in the butt, but it does have a shop atleast the camaro will have a dry spot to set.

toolegit86

now that i have my own shop.. once we move in i am going to drop all the drive train. k-member rear end and do all i suspension work i can. lower it and find a disk brake rear end. cage the inside and paint the car. then i need to build my own turbo headders or just buy the ones off ebay.
hopefully i can open track the car next season.

Your car with the Z06 wheels would look good in the Quasar Blue or all white.

What colors did you have in mind?

toolegit86

i am thinkin

Well the blue looks cool, then again, I have always been partial to blue cars. Then again, if you want your car to really stand out, then the orange will work.

Anyway maybe get a bit of each and try it on an old hood and see how it looks on the car before doing the entire thing?

toolegit86

its been a bit since ive updated here. i pulled that 350 and installed a newer 350 with the serp set up and still running the swirl port heads, i have a set of 416 heads that are going to be ported and polished with 194's installed, i am going to run this untill i can get a ls1 or better.


as the car sets i lowered it installed new racing seats, getting ready for a cage. the newer motor has pretty good power for what it is, the motor has 54k on it from when it was new, i installed a bare bones cam kit and lifters, a comp dual timing chain, a team g high rise and am still running the 650dp. i have mostley everything for the turbo build but am starting to change my mind for the ls1/6speed.



got rid of the z06 wheels and got a set of rays 5spoke. there super light and right now i am running 275's all the way around

Those rims are ehh. Who knows maybe they will look better with paint on the car.


Keep up the good work though.

toolegit86

they look alot better in person. i wanted to get rid of the z06's because there is like 4 cars in my area that run them. one had bad curb rash and all the tires were toast. these wheels are new the tires are in good shape and no curb rash. and they weigh n at around 11 pounds each.

PowerHour84

looks good man

toolegit86

thanks, i hope to get it painted next month, once this sbc is put back together. i am waiting on a deal for a ls1 and 6 speed. thats my next plan

toolegit86

well today i got a good deal on a full set of energy suspension bushings. 60$ for the kit. i ripped the trans mount and was going to just go to shucks and buy one but it was like 30$ so i said screw it and got the kit, thats whats next to install. and shocks and struts

tkcaraudio

Car is a nice build.

did you build your turbo kit you have pieced together or did you order it all online?

toolegit86

most of my turbo was self built. the headers i plan to build, but for now its the ebay twin turbo style. i dont know if i am going to use it all yet. since i am waiting on a ls and 6 speed

tkcaraudio

you got pm

toolegit86

416 heads with 194's installed.

toolegit86

got the motor together, its strong sounds better and has more power, but still needs some tuning. and some better valve springs. went and got some paint mixed today for it. candy blue matalic kinda looks like pepsi blue.




got two coats painted and not even used half of a gallon. going to wet sand and spray again. then a clear. also going to paint the valve covers and air cleaner the same color. then maybe the dash if i want to fiberglass and fix it?

krzyz

toolegit86

side shot


got rid of the crome. i think it looks better.



i hope to get it together today. then more pics. still need to buff, thinkin of powerd coating the wheels next.

toolegit86

done so far, not perfect but still looks good. might wet sand again and re spray.

iTrader: (6)

Wow it looks great don't powder coat the wheels I think it looks good that way.

toolegit86

got to autocross it.. super fun but did not get to do my last 3 runs since my clutch linage broke. its all fixed ready to go now, i did change out my intake, from the team g high rise to a edelbrock performer not to much of a change i think i actually lost some power up top but the bottom end is nice.


sad news i finished my 10bolt off today, took some teeth off the ring gear, good thing i just picked up a disk brake rear end out of a irock i will get some pics up later

toolegit86

its been a while since ive been on here.. but since my union is finally pickin up i can get back to work on the third gen..



here it sets, sold the sbc, 5 speed, sold the wheels and spacer. the disk brake rear end is still in, cars a mess.. i



before taking it apart



and this is what i am thinkin now..

forged 454, .060 over, long rod, eagle crank, and these:
eagle h-beams, speed pro forged pistons.


i got a block out of a 71chevelle ss, stamped high perf, clean block, sold the 781 heads to fund the new heads i need to run my pistons.

i plan to try a t56 if i can get my hands on one.

maybe some boost to.. i dont know yet, single turbo or nos.. maybe both.

toolegit86

I am thinkin this time i am going to paint it calypso green i like the color, and ive only seen one third gen in that paint.

toolegit86

wow its been awhile.. well been out of the seen for a bit.. building a evo. and after getting that thing to 800+ awhp out of a 2.3 4b11 i am done with that lol. 5motors 2 trans and 2t-cases few diffrent turbo set ups. ets running 35+psi and e85.

well since thats done and gone. i am going to roll the third gen in and start back on it. its been a empty shell for a while now and just sitting

so basic set up.
t-5 for now
97 vortec 5.7 with lt4 hot cam and roller rockers. poted vortec heads.
using s10 v8 swap headders doing a forward facing turbo set up with a gt42 big ball bearing turbo. ( or ebay version -cx racing etc)
blow though turbo set up

i know the t-5 will not hold but for now it fills the void.
plan on gutting the shell no carpet no heater etc. and just running a 10 point cage and 2 seats. really want to build a auto x only that i can enjoy on the street from time to time. my car still has all the nice suspension
some deep dish xxr wheels keep it simple.
