Car started its life as a 2.8 sadly that didnt last too long. went to a carb'd 305 now to a newer ls motor. stock shortblock 5.3 with 243 heads, ls6 cam, and a weiand intake with a precision t67 on 9lbs. stock tranny 3600 converter. FORD 8.8 WITH 3.55's with 02 trans am rear brakes. decided to go ahead with the 4th gen interior swap dash and console fit great! plans are to do the door pannels one day. complete spohn suspension k-member, coilovers, a-arms, lower control arms, torque arm, panhard bar, etc.


on 9lbs with 16* of timing made


well all the bs of turbo crap ticked me off one day and decided to go n/a. sold all my stuff and bought a fast 90/90, 224/228 cam, and shaved the 243's .030. also bought a rossler stage 3 4l60e(best investment EVER) the car now sits with 352/345 at the tires. and have a nitrous outlet plate kit on the way.

 

Awesome. Are you okay with the NA performance?

How far along are you with the 4th gen dash?

 

the n/a performance is great! just want a plate kit for the track. i have diffuculty hooking on the street as it is. (555r's) and the dash swap has been done i just havent taken any pics.... i can though

 

awesome looking setup. the more lsx 3rd gens, the better! great job with the dash swap as well, looks right at home in there

 

The silver plain-jane Camaro look is awesome as well. . .

 

Man, i have the NA 6.0 with stock 317s and a Trex that i love to drive but the other 90 i just got will be a single turbo 5.3 or 6.o, 460 with a 5.3 is not bad, i dont think i would have went N/A with it.

 

a magnacharger is in the works

 

That will work, i am going on the budget really deep on the 90, so a cheap turbo that is small is gonna fly will i gte a bigger one, seems near impossible to get a good head unit that is worth a crap to supercharge the damn thing.

 

the 460 was plenty strong. with 9psi.

 

now ive got to find 4th gen firebird dash for my car after seeing ur pix

 

lol get the dash from a 97 car because the fuel guage uses the same 0-90 ohm sender for the tank.

 

ordered the f-body specific kit and installed it that day. had trouble deciding where to mount the bottle but i hardly ever have more than 2 people in my car. enjoy!

 

here we go again. decided the 5.3 just wasnt enough. pulling it and plans are to install a ls2.


started my 4th gen. door panels. oficial pain in the ***.

 

nice build i am about to get started on the 4th gen door panels! looks a bit scary though

 

I saw you out at holt a couple of months ago, you get rid of those 3.23 gears yet?

 

you've been saying that for a while!

 

no time. lol ill be working on it. how much cutting was involved?

 

I haven't done it, I think I'm going to go custom with mine.

 

there 3.55's and no havent had the time to take the rear out and put the 3.90's in.

 

alot. i'll try and post up a pic without the panel on. also switching from manual to elecrtic windows.

 

Very nice man, I want to do a trans am dash swap just like that. Maybe i'll get my car up to Holt one day too.

 

i thought that pictures on there was your door

 

yeah it was down for 2 years doing the turbo/ls motor/dash swap. like at the moment im puttign my frontent back on(deer accident)/ls2 motor swap/ and my door panels.

 

Very cool man, mine's been down for a year and a half and I just need to finish the exhaust, get shocks/struts, and get the 4th gen dash so I can get a functional speedometer. Maybe when we get our cars back together we could meet up at Holt one night when they have test and tune.

 

Are you using the 4th gen shifter with the 4th gen console?

 

yeah man! im up for it. got my fender/hood/headlight support in friday. just need a new bumper cover now. and yes im using the 4th gen shifter with the 4th gen. cable.

 

Sweet man, i'll let you know when my car is officially "roadworthy". It may be awhile, just trying to get some things paid off right now lol.

 

2005 6.0 came in today.

 

T.E.A. ported stage 3 317's.

 

If you need someone to donate the 5.3 to I'll gladly take it off your hands

 

lol im sure. it is for sale. 200 plus shipping. minus the oil pan and rear cover.
UPDATE: double roller timing chain is in, valley cover came in, camshaft has been ordered. patrick g spec'd 230/238 .600/.604 112+2. timing cover, head gaskets, and some other stuff is still on the way.

 

hmmmm....

 

oil pan and rear cover are bolted on and sealed up. heads are just sitting on the block waiting for head gaskets.

 

called speed inc. i ordered the head gaskets on the 14th. they still havent made it there yet. it will be wednesday before they even get them. on another note i used the jrp cam instalation tool and would suggest it to anyone with a ls1

 

Trade motor's? Or cars? lol

 

lol naw i have to work my a$$ off to get what i have gotten. when i get off work im usually cutting grass or doing some mechanic work on some random car that needs fixing. i dont really have a good pic of my car up. so here is a pic of it at work. just you basic everyday camaro.

 

dude im actually diggin the sport coupes now.
have you weighed your car by any chance? 3000lbs ? mine on full (leather) interior, a/c, 18" replicas weighed 3280

 

naw. didnt have the time, always working. i will though when its running again. shouldnt be that much. aluminum motor, non body kit car, new fiberglass hood, electric windows, 17's, 4l60e, 8.8. any guesses? lol

 

finally got my ls2 installed and running today. sounds great! no sewing machine sound either! just a pic of it when it got put in. will try and post a video up soon.

 

that car is sick, looks like a huge sleeper you must fool a lot of people haha

 

Looks great man! Can't wait to hear it! I just got my exhaust done Monday and I'll be ordering my shocks/struts and all my other front end parts next week, then all I'll need is my 4th gen dash.

 

a few more pics.

 

Looks great! I am looking at a Ls1 swap for my formula soon. So I take it the LsX series are that awesome huh... New front end looks good. When do you plan on getting it painted? Love the sleeper look!

 

Where did you buy the drivers side fender? Is the fitment pretty good?

 

yeah i would def. say i like the ls motors better than anything ive every had. i still have some work to do on my door pannels, window motors, regulators, fitting the door handles. etc. and getting a dash pad. should be about another 2-3 weeks before it hits the paint booth. then its back to xXx for a retune on spray.
i bought it from hawks third gen. and yeah fitment is good. still needs to be tweaked but the body shop can do that. IM NO BODY MAN!

 

Where did you get your hood? I got mine a while back from a guy on Ebay and it's going to take ALOT of work before paint.

 

hawks third gen. i had a rough time fitting it but i think i have it set. I THINK! again im no body man

 

Or Berlinettas. Look innocent enough, until they do this to you:



Mine weighed 3460 on the track scale today with me in it and pretty much a full tank of gas.

 

ha ha yeah i get that alot. (random guy) hey nice car man what you got a 355.... 383... (me) naw man its a ls motor......(random guy)umm..... a what?

 

i always liked the sport coupes..! looks sick i always wanted that hood . what color you going with?
