| five7kid's 1982 Camaro Berlinetta | |||
| Berlinetta #1: Aquired in May, 1999, with a cracked block 2.8l V6. I never drove it with that engine/transmission. Found a rear-ended '86 Sports Coupe with LG4 305/TH700R-4 which found its way into the Berli. I pulled all of the equipment, including dash, from the '86 to do the swap. First drove it in August, it's been my get-to-work car since. I actually raced it in the 2000 season, best it ever ran was 16.85 @ 80 mph at our 5800' altitude. Later put a 2.93 posi rear from another '82 to replace the original 3.08 open. Novemeber 2001, the 305 came out and was enhanced with World S/R Torquer 305's which I ported, a Crane 2050 Compucam, GMPP/ZZ3 intake manifold, Hooker 2055 headers and 3" cat-back, and a restalled converter to 2300 RPMs. I didn't race it much, but its best run was a 15.70 @ 90 MPH. The tranny was tired and wouldn't shift 2-3 at WOT, so that probably limited performance. Summer of 2005, the 305 came out again and a rebuilt ZZ3 shortblock went back in, along with a ZZ4 cam and rebuilt '83 TH700R-4. Basically a clone of the previously-available HO 350 Camaro Conversion Kit with cast iron heads. With the same converter and gears, it's run a 14.38 @ 95.5 MPH. That translates to 13.34 @ 102.8 MPH at sea level. The full picture is from a few years ago, but this is basically what it looks like as it sits in the parking lot right now. Berlinetta #2: Silver car is new acquisition 10/07. I added a couple of pics of the '57 - Pomona, Round 1, Nov '04, and from the NHRA website same event. |

| rwdtech | you are one of the most mature, knowledgeable, and helpful persons on the boards. Are you ever planning on doing up the exterior to match that awesome power plant? | 02-25-2007 |
| five7kid | I don't have any big exterior plans. I like the simple, functional look. Actually, I'm a "function over form" kind of guy, don't have the patience for pure form. | 03-15-2007 |
| jrwalz | This sight won't let me look at that vacuum Diagram jpg. I was wondering if you could be so kind to email it to me at jaguare1017@yahoo.com. I can't find anything that shows the proper places for the hoses. For instance, where does the Map sensor plug into? | 09-10-2007 |
| five7kid | Well, major change coming up. 2000 Camaro SS LS1/T56 will be going in soon. | 09-26-2007 |
| five7kid | Actually, the LS1/T56 is going in the silver car. | 10-22-2007 |
