Long time lurker for info, second time owner of a third gen. I bought a Iron Duke 84 and flipped it but just recently bought DjCobol's IROC-Z, this one might be a keeper after the work I put into it.



I look forward to all the insight this board has to offer

 

Great lookin car.

 

Nice looking vert. I'm about an hour and a half from you in Charlotte.

 

WOW that"s nice!!!!!! what modds you planing?

 

Nice car man! I use to live in GR myself. Love that town.

 

Pullin' up my old thread since I've really started to tear into it.

Here is how it looks now.


I have an original front that is going on, the one that was on there was sagging (aftermarket piece) and the chin spoiler was warped an chewed up. LS1 brakes, LT1 rear yet to go in. The Eagle 077's came of my 4x4 Jimmy and will have to do for now. The Boyd's went onto my 55 Bel Air. Yes, I know it's dirty.

 

Also built a little something satisfy my right foot


355 - 4 bolt - single rear main - fully balanced - 10.5:1 - Edelbrock 2.02/1.60 heads - .585 intake .575 exhaust Comp Cam (most likely way to big, but giving it a shot. I will change this winter if I hate it) Accel base plate and SLP runners, all matched.

 

3.42 zexel torsen, WC T5, Spohn weld it SFC's/LCA's and relocators/A Arms/Edelbrock 3 point strut brace.

Need to finish up some patches on the rear floor pans. The PO (actual I think the PO before him) let the drain holes plug up. What a PITA, welding thin sheet metal is not my favorite thing to do.

 

I'm just down the road from you in Cascade....maybe we'll see ya around sometime.

 

I hope so, because your car is sweet! Hopefully I'll have mine buttoned up this month, just got the Hooker 2055's yesterday

Look for it at the Cascade Meijer, that is where I spend a majority of my time!

 

Cool....I'm sure we will run into each other at some point...I go down 28th by Meijer all the time.

 

Hi guys, I am from Kalamazoo. I own 89 RS V8, just got it... I owned 4 Camaros before. But 3-rd get is very addictive, so I got another one

 

Welcome. I'm still not on the road yet, I let a friend borrow my hoist and it still hasn't found its way back yet. The prototype 7 tooth speedo gear is installed, hopefully it doesn't let loose on the post-rebuild maiden voyage Just need to bolt it all together and get a base tune down.

 

Hell yeah, put that sexy up and running!

 

Pullin' this one back up! I haven't gotten as far as I planned....I have a problem with starting too many projects. I'm finishing up a 1989 Silverado (w/ 98 GMC metal, TPI, 6" lift) and started a 1985 GMC K5 Jimmy (4" lift, 56" spring swap, 35's) that needs some major metal work.

Anyway, here is the dirty gal. It moves on without having to be pushed around! I still have some rear floor pan work to finish up, rear brakes, and the exhaust to install. The engine dyno program put the motor 433hp/427tq...probably a bit on the high side though. The 89 Silverado is the blue truck in the background

 

Midway through install:

 

I should have bought the grey MSD wires

 

Might run these Fittipaldi wheels, still haven't decided.

 

winning

 

Only winning at bench racing right now

 

im surprised i didnt find this thread earlier. i was also very bored and started clicking threads so that explains something

 

Still want those wheels....

 

Still for sale I think, as long as I have some rims to replace them. I can have them blasted and teflon coated for 20 bucks...decisions

 

You know where to come if your ever on this side of the state!

 

lazy darren

 

Lazy? I'll pay you some bucks to go to metamora and get the wheels he wants with the sapcers and then pay ya to meet up with him to trade him for the fitti's? How's that, lol

 

hmmmmmm maybe

 

I'll be over in Warren next week I think. Gonna have some rims to trade? haha

 

I personally do not have the time to go to metamora and get those off that 1991. But I should and would be willing to buy the fitti's for the $150 and some gas $$

If thats a possibility shoot me those bigger pics

 

I can drop off some free rear LT1 brackets while I'm there, if the rims are waiting anyway (looking at you, Tyler)

 

Shoot i'd be willing to toss ya a few bucks for those too

 

I'll pull them off the axle today and blast them. I'll throw them in the van along with the set of 3.42's for Tyler. You read that, Tyler?! Now go to Metamora

 

darren give me an address ill try to go friday

 

Yea right Tyler you won't go. But got someone to haul my seats if you get off your lazy *** and go lol. Jk. But you should go.

Darren I'm taking those seats off your hands. I might have you grab something's from metamora to but I'll text you and let you know.

 

Here is the problem tho, I have no plans on going to metamora.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

I meant Tyler. My bad.

 

im probably not going, too frustrated in life to do anything. too much **** on my plate this weekend that i already managed to **** up
