finally going bbc.. forged.. boost.. maybe some nos.. who knows

So after running my car in 3 auto crosses i ve decided that the camaro is not to cut out for the small track. so time to make a cruser that i can run on the strip if wanted,
so ive sold my t5-my sbc-and my full exhaust set up.

my father gave me a 454, little tired but is a bow tie block high perf passenger block. heads are the 781.. typical but good flowing.

and these


eagle h-beams, and speed pro forged pistons.. pistons are l2399f .060 over.
got them for free so who cares..


plans:

build the motor, use the rods/pistons, aluminum heads (keep the weight down) all the little stuff, mls head gaskets arp studs,

maybe a little blower. or set it up for nos? what ever comes first.

full cage. and tie the front sub frame in to cage.
sub frame connectors, more suspension work.
different rear end ( idont think the disk 10 bolt will like it)

go auto or run a viper spec 6 speed? i dont know yet. i would love to stay stick since my car came that way.

get rid of the 18's and spacers and go welds

now this is built on a budget, but i always run into deals.
