I bought a '92 RS from a site member last August. I finally drug it out of the weeds and got it to the shop to start on a few weeks ago. After I drive this for a while Im swapping my LS1 into the car with a Th350. I have to swap everything out of my '85 to put in here.

 

1 bad 9 bolt out. It would be nice if it wasn't bent and had the brakes on it.

 

Now for ol' blue




And we are out again.



The Tow Rig

 

In its new home. And what you see is a 10 bolt that I spent WAY too much money on.




Back on its rollers. The motor and trans will come out another weekend.



And back to the graveyard



I did all this a few weeks ago.

 

I pulled the rest of the drivetrain yesterday.




The '85 hasnt been raced since about '05 so it gonna get new gaskets along with some new upgrades. After I get some miles on this setup I will swap in my LS motor.

Im adding GM aluminum Fastburn heads, 1.6 Roller Rockers, MSD distributor,Fluiddamper 6 3/4 balancer, and a Moroso 7qt oil pan that I have. Im also swapping the Headman headers for Super Comp headers with a custom made y pipe by the previous owner, and Borla Exhaust with the cutout mod.

 

Hey on a side note, could I get you to sell me the brackets that hold your rocker ground efx on behind the door. If like mine, it should be some weird bracket that I have never seen that slides over some discs??

 

Pulled the top end down and checked the leak down. I was expecting some good numbers but I was disappointed after seeing the intake runners rusted up and the carb secondaries rusted shut. Thats what you get for not having an air cleaner on for a good amount of time while it sits. On the good side I sold the 062 Vortec heads on the spot when I took them to the machine shop to get checked.

 

This is my old Camaro. Owned it from 1999-2010. Let me know if you need any help. Hope to see you at the track soon!

 

Sure is! I might have to give you a ring if I get hung up on the switches or wiring.

 

Well I had to buy some nice Cometic head gaskets for the motor. Heads are on and I replaced the stock head bolts with ARP head bolts. Swapping out the 3/8 studs for 7/16 studs so I can use some 1.6 rockers I have. Just measured for my pushrods and those are on order. Dropping the heavy cast water pump for an aluminum one.

 

Trans is bolted to the motor and ready to slide in. Once it up and running Ill start on my LS motor.

 

Subscribing. Sweet project. Cant wait to see more.

 

Motor and trans is in. I hope to get the bottom side bolted in tomorrow.

 

Sweet.

Got it running finally. No LS motor yet but now I can start on that one. Only thing left is to get the header leaks fixed and get it on the dyno to start tuning it.
