Here is the engine:
377 CI 400 block 350 crank
HiRel Marine Vortec EFI intake from offshore racing boat
Protopline 185cc Vortec heads

All controlled with a hacked Holley commander 950



All of it is backed by T56 and Quick Performance 9" with aluminum center section, and C6 brakes to stop.

 

My 91 Camaro RS. Basically stock. has the z28 grille swapped out. fogs. custom exhaust open element air cleaner.

had a 305 with 700r4, now has 350tpi with t5 trans, 3.73 gears posi, cam, ecelbrock shorties, no cat, flowmaster muffler, throttle body. aluminum rad. alot of time and money invested

where did you buy the brake light covers and what brand?

 

I love this car, 1 of the baddest *** 3rd gens on the planet!!!!

 

The wheels are tragic, you have got to get better wheels, all of that work warrants a decent pair of shoes!!!!! Trust me on this one

 

The brand is GTS, you can find them everywhere on Internet. AVS also makes light covers for the 3rd gen.

 

Nice Z. Question for you though. Did you just remove your fog lights and paint the grill the body color and how did you change your red bowtie color? Is it painted or did you use a sticker decal over the red?

 

* 91 Camaro RS v8
* Fresh paint
* Lowered on 18'' iroc's, Eibach sportline springs and Kyb Agx Adjustable Shock Absorbers

1988 Iroc Convertible upgraded with a Trans AM GTA WS6 suspension, wheels, interior, 350 (L98) TPI engine, aluminum 3 core radiator, 5 speed transmission, 3.23 gears, and other misc parts.

Front end converted to 1984 Trans AM fenders and hood with Knight Rider conversion complete with Dash.

 

.[/QUOTElooks good but doesn't that defete the purpose of a cold air intake?

 

the Camaro intake will not work with a Trans AM hood, due to the steep slope of it. there is no clearance. i ran the intake that way for a reason. i solved the problem by modifying the original cowl unit by adding a fan to blow fresh air onto it.

 

My GTA made it in Street Heat!

 

where did you get the SS emblems? i can't seem to find them anywhere.

 

 

What re those wheels? 20s?? Looks good but needs to drop a little on the front. Like the 2 tone. Any more info on your car??

 

its 82 z28 with a gen 6 454 the usual stuff cam,intake,headers,carb and roller rockers.For the trans its a ls1 t56 as for the wheels they are of a c6 corvette front are 18x9 on 245s the rear are19x11 on 325s.

 

ditch the ugly elite covers for something cleaner looking to match the rest...

 

yeah your right im looking for some cleaner looking valve covers.

 

This is my '87 IR OC-Z it has: a 305 vortec carburated with chrome valve covers that say Chevrolet and chrome air filter cover that says the same, msd ignition, eldebrock intake, 650 holly carb, emissions headers, 2.5 inch proflow exhaustits got 4/10 gears in the rear end with a 700r4 yoyo kit trans custom candy red paint job, custom power moon roof, momo steering wheel, European style HID headlights, 18 inch chrome iroc rims, and a pioneer championship series system with 2 ten inch subs.

future plans-
383 stroker, stall speed convertor, lower rear control arms and front brake upgrades, with lower control arms.

This is my 91 GTA. She just got painted and next on the list will be a little interior work. The only mod on the car is a OBX-R cat back. Other than that it is stock. The wheels have also been refurbished. There are some performance mods on the wish list that I will get to eventually all of which are bolt-ons at this point. Right now I am just driving and enjoying the car and I have been having a blast with the nice weather we have been having here in Jersey.

 

If you dont have an LS motor in it, likely not making GMHTP

 

Sadly, this is true of far too many of the GM oriented car magazines..... Even if several of my toys running Gen 1 SBC's can outrun a lot of the LS powered cars.

 

TRUE THAT!

^^ NICE ride pop! And it's a convert. Def looks like a candidate for GM high tech!

 

Nice ride indeed, but now way in hell it makes a magazine with that horrid hood gap. Why does nobody fix this?

 

The horrid hood gap actually isn't that bad. We were at GM Nationals at Carlisle when this pic was taken. Didn't notice that the hood wasn't closed all the way.

 

Some nice rides here!

 

^kandiedz you have been missing in action !

 

i seen in my email Kandied posted....couldnt' believe it....he really does still exist..how's the re-inventing of your car coming?

It's a vette but I also have the GTA that I am working on prepping right now for show status. Here are the details and pics:

Exterior upgrades include the Tiger Shark Front Bumper with Front Splitter, RK Sport Rear Fascia, Shaved rear quarter panel antenna, Custom built HRE 19" front wheels, 20" rear wheels, and 2% visibility limo tint all the way around. Inside accents include the rear separation plate to seal the trunk from the driver compartment, short throw shifter, and stainless gauge trim rings. Most of the custom work is mechanical from the 402 cubic inch stroker engine built by QMP Race Engines, Air Flow Research Cylinder Heads, Fast Intake and Comp Cams Valvetrain all designed and prepped by Tony Mamo. Ram Air from a modified Vararam system, 1 7/8" Kooks Headers, Random Technology Cats, Basani X-pipe, SLP Loudmouth Exhaust, RPS Twin Disc Carbon Clutch, and all set up with custom tuning by Doug Stalter, along with many other upgrades.
