Hopes and Dreams
Ok Guys, here are my hopes and dreams for my TOTALLY STOCK, 88 camaro... Let me know what sounds good and what doesn't
1. Crate ZZ 502 with some sort of Fuel Injection (it's law in CA
)
2. Aluminum drive shaft
3. Fiberglass ram air 2 hood
4. new suspension all around
5. new Tranny (I need help on this one, what can take up to 800 lbs or TQ? and maybe automatic?)
6. absolutly new interior (i have one of those saggy roofs )
7. I know a Big block wont leave much room but does anyone know if there is enough room for a supercharger?
8. <--- what goes here?
9. <----- what goes here?
10. relocation of the batter to the back of car.
Where can i find NEW seats for my camaro... especially for the back ones?
Thanks Guys, i'll have fun reading your reply's

Your dream will turn into a nightmare when you roll into the emissions inspection with a big block.
You need to keep it looking like factory or have CARB-certified aftermarket parts. In the "looks" department, your best bet there is a big small block, like Worlds Motown block. Expensive, but fits in the same space as your current engine. Induction will have to be upgraded with certified injection pieces. Likewise exhaust with certified pieces. AFR heads.
Talk to Dana at ProBuilt Automatics about the transmission. You won't get any more straight scoop anywhere.
For the interior, there's another forum for that stuff. Since I'm more "go" than "show", that's all I'll say about that.
What exactly is this "batter" you want to relocate to the rear? Are you baking a cake in there?
Oh, "BATTERY"! Sure, put it in the back in a sealed box, and put an external cut-off switch in while you're at it.
#8 is 12-bolt rear end. And subframe connectors. And poly-anything-that's-rubber-supported-now.
#9 is $xxxxx. When you think you know what number goes there, double it.
