See '04 winter projects thread for what I'm up to. I am finially assembling the motor on my '86 Iroc. Eventually I'll have to get back to body.

I hate to say it but I never should have let this project get this far off track.

The Project is my complete rebuild of the '86 Iroc. Which I wish I never got this far into it. The engine is the only thing that is going to force me to finish. Part of me would like to get rid of it and get my life back.

I finished my brother in laws 93 Camaro LT1 overhaul(PIA!!). Runs strong. Oh, I hate LT1 engines.

My '92 is still running strong. Everyday I think I might sell it. Allthough it sure is cool that my daily is a pretty sweet camaro.

My vert is my dream machine. Runs great. Glad I got it. Having the Vert is what makes wish I never started the ROC project.

ANyhow, where do you want these pictures sent to? All mine are to large to post on TGO. I have tried to shrink them. However, I am a little inept. Let me know.

Your right though, a different project everyday of the week. I hate cars!! Why did I ever get into this??

Thanks for the support!

P.S. These are all real projects, not just the same B.S. you here from a lot of guys. If anybody is in Frederick City, let me know. I'll show you my own prison.

Hey guys my name is jesse and im building up the 84 camaro z28 i bought when i was 14 finally after about 5 yrs. I just got a 383 stroker with all new parts minus the block. Was engine dynoed at 505 hp and 525 tq. Then got the 700 redone with 87 internals and built to handle about 600 hp. The exhaust is hedman long tubes and 2 flowmaster super 40s. As you can imagine all this put a hurtin on my checkbook so i bought a auburn posi unit to do the job until after i get paid for all the over time im putting in this next 3 weeks (100 hrs a week is alot) to buy a new rear havent decided on a 12 bolt or a 9. Got all new gauges, racing seats. All kinds of good stuff. just thought id share. O by the way im outta westminster, MD if anyone cares

If I were purchasing one, I would just by a, is it, MOSER Unit. I believe the cost with all the goodies would be under or around $2000.00. Bolt in and done.

Gotta finish the 383, drop it in, make a fuel system, finish my custom gauges, detail the engine bay. Hopefully done that by fall. Then the car needs the front end rebuilt and to be painted. I figure the car will be done by this time 2007.

I know that this is getting close to a thread hijack but, here's a little more info. I like the 12 Bolt because its GM.
