I dont know about you guys, but I've always thought that the outside appearance of a car only accounts for a fourth of what makes a car a piece of artwork. Theres the interior, exterior, underbody and suspension, and finally....the heart of the whole car, the thing that makes the noise imports tremble to, the engine. So lets see some badass under-hood views and any unique specs on them.

I'll start if off with the engine bay from my recently deceased '85 Recaro T/A.

It was still in the middle of beautification and new go fast goodies, but life throws ya curves I guess.

Oh yea ? Check out this s--- pile...

 

Not the best looking bay, but it works for me.

 

Gotta love the miniram and superram. Hey jandl22 I've never seen a 2.5 in one of these before, is that a rare motor in these cars?

Also does anybody have pics of the car with the silver engine bay? I think its a black trans am that its in. Ive always thought that looked amazing.

Mine's waiting for a transplant I'm getting the itch again to get going on building this big block.

 

Here's mine, honestly kinda dirty






and a before pic for good measure LOL

 

So happy to say i can fianlly post something in a thread like this.

Of course not done.







What kinda alternator mount do you guys suggest? Thanks.

 

It's not the best view of my engine bay, but it's the best view I have hosted on a webpage right now.

 

can't see the pic. Try hosting it here.

 

that before pic of ur engine looks like it was taken in like 1945 lol

 

Don't know why I never took a finished pic, but here's a good idea

 

Looks great Karps TA. How offten do you plan on driving that?

(+ you might want an alt. )


also where did you get that radiator suport. THX, later

The silver is actually alot easier to keep clean then the black was surpisingly.

The rad support I got like 8 years ago when the were still available.

 

oh damn. 8 years ago I was 13. LOL. I didn't even know what a camaro was back then. Oh well. Hopefully I will someday make a bay look that slick. Very nice work.

-Dennis

ps- Are you worried about water getting on your igition box?
I just got mine and am thinking of mounting it on the inside of the firewall.

 

 

THATS THE ONE! Ive been wanting to paint my engine bay with the silver for a LONG time and when I saw that picture it only re-inspired me. It looks better every time I see it. Props to you man.

 

My Engine Bay


Chicks like Boost.

Actually a lot of cleaning up in the engine bay still needs to be done. Its almost finished though.

 

Not really. Car is used only for shows and nice days. It's just my toy.

 

Where's the car?

 

Before.

After

 

Heres a few

 

recently did some mods under here:

 

You have the best looking Camaro I have ever seen

 

The current state of my engine bay:


Crap....pic in next post.....

K-member is getting the same rust encapsulating gloss blk thats on the strut mounts tomarow.

 

Uh, I think they likes ur terbo

 

To answer your question I believe that the motor these days is rare. Most cars that came with this motor were either junked or had the engine swapped. There is only a handful on the boards that still have the Iron Duke and the mileage is really high on most. It is a dependable motor but with 90hp not really desirable for a third gen vehicle. I am keeping it total stock in hoped that one day I can either be buried in it or it will become a rare collectors item

Sunset Orange Metallic, the pics are done at night with halogen lamps on it. Looks better in person or under normal light.

 

New addition......manual steering box

 

Keep it the way it is.
Iv'e seen ton's of Camaro's, not 1 like yours.........

 

Here's my "Tree Fiddy" Ramjet. Anyone have an upper radiator support? Mine is cracked (notice in pics).

 

Here's mine..

 

heres mine

 

Here's mine now that it's clean

 

well the Z is back home in arkansas but heres the my DD and yes it had to get something to pep it up!

 

My unfinished project.
