I do run nitrous on the car. That was with a 150 shot.

On the powerglide there are custom made mounts for the tranny on my car. But I would not think that you would have any problem. I put a turbo 350 into a 1982 before with no problem and the powerglide and 350 are the same in size and mounting. Here is a pic on mine if you want to go that route. Good luck

Re: 1991 Camaro in the 8's

WOW talk about detailed undercarriage! I really like the way that's set up, makes a lot more room for exhaust. is this still a stock suspension car?

Re: 1991 Camaro in the 8's

The front is stock but the rear is a 4 link.

Thanks

Re: 1991 Camaro in the 8's

Got any pics of how the 4 link is installed, I'm wondering for when I do my own. Did you fab it up, or did a chassis shop do it? If so how much should I look at it costing me?

Sorry no pics of the 4 link. A chassis shop did do the work. And the cost all depends on what else you want them to do. Just figure A LOT....LOL

I have had the kit for many years so I don't know what they are now. Its a Big Shot kit from NOS. And they have instructions in the manual when you get a kit. Its not that bad to install.
