Re: my 1992 camaro z28 build!

Congrats on your car, I'm wondering if that's the original engine since the valve covers are not the center bolts that come stock?

Re: my 1992 camaro z28 build!

so its been awhile since I have posted on this thread, well I am back! I have "finished" the car in my dads perspective, but not in mine! I am looking to take the console out of it, because the one currently in it is from a 96 ta i believe. I`m only 17 though so bare with me on the money I spend, will take some time to get it up to the way I want to get it. so far though i just spent $400 at hawks buying a new console lid, new shiter plate, and a new upper end, considering I went to a junk yard and found a very well conditioned lower end that I will paint! posting picks of old console and the new lower end.. parts come in soon hopefully!

Re: my 1992 camaro z28 build!

they are american racing rims, and are currently for sale. I put a 6 speed transmission in it, kept the 350 block but did all new work inside of it. and I got the parts from hawks coming to find out that the console lid i got has a crack at the bottom.. sending it back.

Looks good man. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has taken over a couple years to being almost done with their car. Get those wheels on there I want to see what it looks like.
