New MD kid
hey guys! im new to the camaro scene, I live in MD right around BWI and this is my ride. an original z28 with Iroc hood and wheels. This car has a 350 swap from a corvette, not an LT1 but the 87-92 corvette's. It has shorty headers, 3 inch pipe, and edlebrock dual exhaust. I have no clue what has been done to the engine, bunch of my friends say it seems to possibly have high compression pistons. I want to call the guy and see what I can figure out. but it has been restored/repainted. car is imaculate. picked it up out past frederick for $1800 car runs and drives like a champ.

Re: New MD kid
Very clean looking, the color is nice too -- I don't know that I've seen others in that color. I'm a bit late in offering the welcome, but it still stands. It's a great group of people and I've made quite a few friends here.

Re: New MD kid
im rather lucky, the body and interior is imaculate so I dont really have to worry about that. I probably should get my trans overhauled. I kinda want to see about getting a 400 though. although with and open dif it wont really matter lol. I should look into getting gears but im going slow for now

Re: New MD kid
Yeah, I've seen some on the trans-ams before. they look pretty good. thick 5spokes seem to work well on the camaro's but they have to have the right shape





You guys are getting some sick deals.
