After working (or waiting for parts) all summer in my free time, the Camaro is finally "done". Still need to get exhaust (Nov. 12th) then hook up the wideband O2, tune the chip and pass emissions one last time- then I'll probably switch the exhaust to dual 2.5". But it runs, it can be moved out of the garage without pushing and everything works so I'm happy. Here are some pics of the fun.

 

What do you guys think?

 

Nice, all summer huh? I did olmost as much in 6 days, but i bet you got 5x more money in yours. I kept the AC, i live in TX and drive the car way too much, wish i had EFI. Nice job man, load a sound clip when you get it to that point.

 

very nice! whats your setup in there?

 

Very nice work man! Gotta love a freshly redone engine bay with a pretty Stealth Ram at home in it! How's the enigine built? What kind of numbers are you expecting out of it? I can't quite tell, but did you have a MiniRam or LT1 intake on there before? Or none of the above LOL.

Regardless, congratulations on lots of hard work paying off!!

It beautiful but................get rid of the coolant bottle! It looks so out of place in there. I would get one of those small cheap autozone ones. Other than that great job!!!!

 

Two fuel gauges? No coolant temp gauge?

Other than that, neato!

 

One is how much ''fuel'' he has and the other is how much fuel ''pressure'' he has,but i do have to question not having a temp guage in there you have plenty of room for four gauges unless you have it in the pods on the pillars

 

Removing the HVAC and smoothing the firewall took a bit of time. Plus, I work full time and had another project going on at the same time and had some problems with getting the incorrect parts sent to me, so some of the summer was spent just waiting. I have a sound clip, but it's got open headers right now so the quality isn't that great. I'll wait til I get the exhaust on and see how it sounds.

383 stroker, forged rods and pistons, Trickflow aluminum 23* heads, 230*/234*, .528"/.539", 110* LSA cam, Stewart stage 2 aluminum water pump, Hooker long tubes, HSR, MSD 6AL, 3500 stall, working on the chip still. More info at mypetroc.net

Not sure what to expect. The head/cam combo put out 465 HP/ 450 TQ with a 750 cfm carb, so we'll see how well I can tune the EFI. Previously, I had an LT1 intake.

It is in the works. I just wanted to get it together and running so the car can be moved without having to push it in and out of the garage. The little stuff can be done later.

Fuel pressure and fuel level. The coolant temperature gauge is in the a-pillar along with wideband air/fuel ratio and transmission fluid temp.

Thanks for the compliments. It sure feels good to have it pretty much done (engine-wise, anyway).

 

I hate waiting.

 

so much for the strut tower brace, huh. does that intake clear the stock hood?

 

It's a Holley Stealth Ram, so yea it clears it.

 

Yeah, the STB is gone. The intake is supposed to clear the stock hood, but I have yet to reinstall the hood. It's gonna be close.

 

WOW! It looks awesome!!! And here I figured you died or something ;-)

 

looks very nice, it looks like we did the same thing this summer, though i finished a little earlier, despite all the waiting

 

Thank you. Told you I wouldn't have time to help out around here

Yeah, the waiting for stuff that wasn't my fault got old. But I had another project going on so this got spread out longer than I expected anyway. Either way, well worth it.

 

wow, looks good. I can't wait to hear feedback on how it runs and drives on the street.

 

That looks friggin awesome dude. Too bad you can't see those TB blades

 

Looks awsome!! what material did you use for the gauge panels?

 

Did you fabricate the dash panels, or where did you buy them from? They look pretty good.

 

Thanks, I made the gauge panels out of ABS plastic.
