Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
Here's the cost :
(I'm in Quebec/CA)
Complete running 350 + .30 4 bolts 1987 block = 300
Vortec 906 Head + cut + stock stud removal = 450
Edelbrock RPM Air gap = 360
Holley 750CFM modified (Used) = 300
Hooker Headers (Used) = 120
Comp Cam 280H (Complete kit)= 300
Valve 1.5 +100 = 100
Valve Seals triple = 30
Rocker Roller Split combo 1.5 / 1.6 (Used)= 80$
Ford Pushrods + 350 = 80
ARP Rocker stud = 120
Noname Head cover = 60
Moroso Oil pan = 215
MSD Distributor shaft, gear + cap = 220
Moroso High volume oil pump = 100
Moroso 3/4 Strainer for Moroso Oil pan = 60
Holley Red fuel pump + hose + fitting = 180
ARP Head bolt = 125
Chrome Timing cover = 30
Timing indicator on timing cover = 20
Edelbrock intke bolt = 20
Edelbrock Head gasket = 68
Edelbrock 1 piece oil pan gasket = 40
Edelbrock header gasket = 30
Edelbrock carburator gasket = 7
Edelbrock intake gasket = 31
Holley Automatic bracket + gaz = 32
Noname Billet alternator bracket = 50
Spectre Head air breather = 60
Spectre Air filter = 160
Chromed oild stick = 28
NAPA Straps = 30
Mr. gasket Water intake elbow = 30
Mr. gasket chrome carburator Fuel line + gauge = 90
GM 2003 corvette 2400 stall = 400
ACDELCO Iridium Sparks plug = 100
ACCEL 8.8MM wires = 80
Ball bearing alternator = 180
Small high torque startor = 60
Water hoses = 80
160 termostat = 12
Generic Transmission Oil cooler + hose + fitting = 80
Radiator + Fans (Used) = 50
Mr. gasket radiator cap = 20
Others (missing bolt, water pump gasket, springs, brackets etc...) = 100
Cheap Engine oil = 30
Comp Cam breaking oil = 40
Transmission oil = 70
Prestone = 60
brake oil = 20
Paint = 100
-------
= 5388$
Count that is no labor... I've done all by myself.
I also buy a Goodwork 4'' Steel cowl hood to clear the air filter and I also repainted
the entire engine bay, all bolts, brackets, etc..
I've throw approx 7K on the engine bay this winter.... and I think it worth 10 000$ if I had done all the work by others.

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
The car was very dirty (oil on paint almost all over the car) So I decided to clean it at the garage lol. No choice. The car is getting finalized this week.

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
Thx
The car was at a garage to fix the goddamn timing chain cover.
They test run it (was the first time the car was almost ready) and the driver didn't check the oil pressure.
Soooooo they blew it lol
And they don't want to fix it ... So I change for another garage.
They will dissasemble the engine completly monday.

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
Hazaa, its been 2 years since I've been able to work on my car now because of school. And it will likely be another 2 or 3 before I get to legitimately do anything. so, to fill the void in my soul I go searching for other peoples builds to follow and yours hit the spot. great work man.

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.

Sorry for the late update. I got the car running for the rest of the summer. I put a 200$ engine on the hole and drive it like that until I got my 383Crate.
When I got the engine almost cleaned.
Fast painting lol
Just making it cleaner

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
Looks awesome! Keep us updated!
BTW, the stripes above the ground effects, are they like a "sticker" or are they a type of molding or something?

Re: My Camaro Z28 project.
But on 18'' and I will drop the car 1'' more.
It will look like that (He's on 20'', and I dropped the car by psp):
For the hood I was affraid 2'' cowl doesn't clear the air cleaner, so I buyed 4'' Goodmark cowl lol!
Good news guys, the car is on the paint shop, hood and front lip will be painted white
