455 in my 3rd gen camaro...

as you might think- a few problems arose with this. headers dont completely clear the a-frame, and any exhaust work is a pain with it being set up for single exhaust. the stock 3.75 rear end is perfect though

before you say anything about my camaro having an olds engine in it, let me mention that im only 20yo and this is my first car ever. money is tight, but having this car at all is really lucky for me!

any advice you guys could give me for my car while i give her knew high compression pistons over the winter would be great!
