Hey Sonix big thanks for the loan of your tools and manual.
Your bearings to do the intial set up worked awsome as well. Big thumbs up. It only took me 3 trys to set up the back lash and the tooth pattern.
I got the gear set installed and set up all the pre load on the bearings set as well. I'll be setting up the disc brakes on the diff in a few weeks of so.
Also I sand blasted the diff and related parts she will be ready for paint soon.
Very cool. You going to paint it yourself?
What gear set did you end up using? and the differential?
I just moved into a new house over in the Penbrooke area. I haven't set up my garage yet (moved in on saturday), but let me know if you're in the neighborhood and want to drop off the parts/manual
It'll be a few weeks at least I am in Newfoundland working on a VEE 12 on coast guard ship.
Penbrooke is only 10 minutes from me. You have a nice sized garage?
I'll paint it myself. The car will be on stands over the winter and I hoping to get a lot done to it. Just pricing some stuff up and see what OT I get between now and xmas and if I get a lot then I'll build the whole thing top to bottom.........if not then the engine diff and a few suspension ugrades and paint the bottom
I bougth aq motive 3.42 gear set and gonna still use the cone posi that came with the diff
Hey everyone, i am currently in the midst of bending/installing new aluminum fuel lines and was wondering if anyone has a 37 degree (AN) flaring tool i could borrow for an hour? I am having a hard time justifying the purchase of a $150 tool to do 4 flares.

While i appreciate the suggestion i did recently purchased the above tool. Unfortunately the inexpensive summit appliance is simply an adopted brake-line tool. The result is that the flaring bars serrations, designed to firmly hold steel lines, severly damages soft aluminum tubing. In addition the cone on the tool i recieved from summit has a raw machined finish rather than a polished finish. This creates a slightly rough surface on the inside of the completed flare. I'm generally dissatisfied with the quality of the summit tool and have been looking into ordering the "real" tool from Imperial... but it's pricey.
PM your number. I'll be back in calgary for a few days rest then back to ST johns
I'll get ur tools back to you asap.
This job turned out longer than I thought. Have problems with the crank line and have to flip over 15000 lbs of cylinder block and crank shaft to do a line bore on the crank line
Hey guys still out in St john's, Booked for work in mexico for all of nov on a navy ship 3 engines this time then back to canada in dec and jan in victoria for another canadian coast guard ship.
I ordered up last week a EBLed ecm and a O2 Wide Band from DynamiEFI.
And I guess I'll be ordering the spohn suspension package I got picked out in December.
Right now I am trying to get a hold of some Dyno Don headers and Y pipe but its not looking to good.
You guys got any ideas? I wanna buy em once and thats it. Y has to be 3 inch as I am going with a single 3 inch exhaust magnaflow or Borla.
any input on headers and Y pipe would be great thanks and no cheap stuff.
Wow, your a busy boy Jay ... coming home with a pocket full of money for upgrades hey! Good for you man.
What Spohn parts are you all going with?
Dyno Don's headers are a really nice piece from what I have seen of them. I had the same problems when trying to purchase them. If you are doing some big USA orders you might want to consider shipping them all just south of the border and then picking them up yourself. Check this link out http://www.calgaryfirebirdclub.com/f...read.php?t=578
Let me know if this route interests you, maybe we can do a combo run sometime this winter. (I could use a new rear spoiler and might need a different hood)
If you don't go that route Hooker 2210s with a Mufflex Y pipe and exhaust makes a nice combo. http://www.mufflex-performance.com/fbody_1.html They have quite a few routes you can go with different sizes and outlet options. I know others who will be runnin'em
Spohn parts I will get in Dec I still have to tweak it a bit. Next year I'll get the rest of the stuff I want.
The per diem I get in mexico for 30 days will cover most of that.
I'm looking at some options in getting those headers. Fairbanks in Houston may help me out on thier. But if nothing comes up with in the next couple of weeks I'll have to rethink my exhaust.
My time this winter will be short to work on the car but I'll get at her and have her on the road by next summer.
I see Spohn finally makes a LCA with a rebuildable pivot .... nice. That is what I wanted as well but they weren't available at the time, so had to build my own. I really like there stuff, great quality. Man, after checking out your list, now there are a couple more things I am going to need ...
You can get those shocks and all the poly stuff at Mopac here in cowtown for just a little more retail, but works out better in the end after shipping and brokerage ... just an option.
A great place I have found for bolts ... nice bolts, plated, high grades any size you can think of is Quest. They can get you anything you want. Just in case you are looking for that hard to find one. I know I have been there a few times already.
Not sure how much luck you'll have trying to sell a 25yr old non classic car, with non-low miles, for $8000, when it's blue book value is probably around $1500. This economy now is not really conducive to selling used cars, especially "toy" type of vehicles, where your target market is unfortunately unemployed now.
Crappy deal, bet best of luck! I hope to see that car cruising the streets again soon.

I don't see where you get off saying it's not a classic. Blue book value, please.......does not apply here.
This can be appraised and insured for that amount as a collectible.
They don't have the following of a "me too" +$60K 69 Z28 or SS Camaro but that does not mean they are not desireable.
Alright, i'm going to need the weather to shape-up in a hurry. i'm just dying to get back to my (unheated, uninsulated) garage.
On another note, i have a fully balanced (by cnc-motorsports) rotating assembly comprised of a SCAT nodular crank, SCAT procomp 4340 forged rods (the beefiest i-beams i could find, they have 7/16 rod bolts) and kieth black forged pistons -18cc inverted dome (premium 2618 alloy). All of this is setup to go into a vortec generation 4-bolt main block (included but not yet machined), with vortec heads (also included, already machined for screw-in studs) this should yield a 9:1 compression ratio with a perfect 0.040" quench distance.
If anyone is interested i'll sell it all for $1500 CDN (or USD, they're the same right now :-p ). i'de rather not split it up.
Anyone interested in buying some Iroc parts in Calgary? I'm tubbing the Camaro and cant use these parts anymore. -Spohn Standard Duty Adjustable Torque Arm For Turbo 350 Transmission (reg $369 US)
-Edelbrock Rear Trailing Arms (reg $199 US)
-Competition Engineering's 3-Way Adjustable Drag Shocks (reg $86 US)
-New never used stock gas tank with sump welded on for external punp ($500 CAD)
I will sell for half price to get rid of them.
I also have a freshly built stock 9 bolt (very rair) with new Posi Carrier, Crown and Pinion and barrings. Spent $1700. sell for $1000
- One summer old Turbo 350 with stage 3 shift kit, manual valve body and stacked clutches. Built for big power. $1000
- One summer old TCI torque converter. 3500 stall with anti ballooning plates $300
- Stock sway bars and springs for free if anyone wants them
I used to lurk on here a while back...long story short, got out of third gens for a while, but now might be trading a current project for another camaro in Calgary. Could anyone shed some light on what something like this might be worth these days. I have yet to see it, but the guy seems like pretty good people, and goes on to say the car is pretty much a garage queen. The trades are between this camaro, and an 89 rcsb pickup...street truck.....leaning towards the iroc!
87 IROC 350 tpi, couple, auto, black, with grey cloth int, 76xxx km's, all original except for tinted windows.... Im just trying to make sure we both get a fair deal, I know this website is a weath of knowledge. The economy has really screwed with prices these days.

Sounds like a nice car, and you're right; The economy has really screwed prices. Although, I've found it's a buyers market more-so now. If I had to guess, I think ~ $8-9k? Depending on paint, etc
