Kilgore College Camaro build

Larry Woodfin of Woodfin Automotive is doing another build. This time it's a third gen Camaro (1983) as part of the college automotive classes. It's going to be a back halved, alcohol carb, drag car that's expected to run 5.90's in the 1/8 mile which would make it a very low 9 second car in the 1/4 mile. It's starting as a bare chassis and doesn't look pretty so this will show what possibilities are available.

You can follow the build progress here.

Because as the build progresses, I don't want this link lost 50+ pages down.

Re: Kilgore College Camaro build

Looks like a solid car to start with.
