....this guy!!! I'm picking up a 91 L03/T5 Camaro on Thursday. My ultimate plans are an LT1/TBI hybrid 350 with a 3:42 posi setup ran with an EBL Flash and a 454 TBI unit..
I'll be glad to be back.

 

Be good to hear from you Robert. Good looking car.

 

Sweet! I look forward to following that.

 

Nice

 

Knew it was you before I even saw the author. Welcome back.

 

So I picked it up tonight. I paid all of 1200 bucks for this beast. Only 145k on it and it runs smooth as silk. I do think the T5 might need a rebuild or it needs a new clutch as it like to make funny noises now and again. Other than that I'm very pleased with it. It does need a bath though lol

 

Man, you can't beat that. My first new car was a '91 RS L03/T5. Good times.

 

Awesome deal!!!

 

Wow! Finding a nice thirdgen in Ms is hard enough but a 5spd is almost impossible down here or I would own one. Great deal man .

 

I'm actually surprised on how many T5 cars I find here. Out of 10 thirdgens for sale 4 of them are sticks

 

Well I'm in the process of cleaning up the engine bay. I'll be picking up a set of 2460 headers from a buddy this weekend. Next up I'll either get another TBI manifold and port it or I'll be picking up an EGR performer manifold locally.

 

Looking good man. Keep us updated

 

Awesome! Seems like the TBI forum has been slowly getting more active past 6months or so.

 

Thought I'd post another update. I picked up some Hooker 2460 shorties and the matching y pipe already modded for a 3 inch exhaust for $100 from a friend of mine. I need to blast the headers and paint them plus fix a couple missed weld leaks but I'm stoked. I'll either just run a 3 inch race bullet or nab another Hooker Aerochamber muffler.

 

Can't beat that for $100!

 

Thought I'd show some progress. The engine bay is almost finish and I'm about 3/4 done with the exhaust. Once that's all done I'll be pulling the T5 to rebuild it. Damn thing is turning out sweet

 

Ok I thought it share some progress. It's all back together. I just have to tighten up a few things. Here's all I've done so far.

Rebuilt the rear end with a Yukon Duragrip posi carrier and 3:42 gears

Moog 5662 and CC635 springs with 1 full coil cut

KYB shocks and struts

ES 34mm and 21mm bushings and links

ES A arm bushings and brand new Moog K6145T ball joints

Full founders rear set up and adjustable torque arm

Full T5 rebuild with a brand new clutch

Hooker 2460's into a magnaflow cat and a full 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust, a 12 inch race bullet at the back end

50mm and cleaned up stick TBI manifold (just because lol)

Once I get everything broken in I'll be replacing the valve springs and I might throw in my stock Vortec cam.

 

Thinking of having my stock manifold ported to 46mm and running 46mm throttle body. Do you think that would be ok for a roughly 260-275 HP engine?

 

Moog 5662- I use those springs to lift S10's

 

Car is lookn good Robert!

 

Thanks I'm digging it lol

 

What intake did you end up with?

 

It's just a ported out stocker for now. I opened it up to 50mm and cleaned up the intake ports. Nothing to crazy.

 

Did you ever do the LT1 with TBI? Im in the process of building one and was wondering how you were coming along.

 

I have it but I haven't started digging into it yet. I wanted to get the rest of the car done first then start building it

 

I didn't recognize it in raw aluminum, sans black paint.

 

Turning out real nice what you done to her lately?

 

Yep, shes on the road and ready to roll. So without further ado I bring to you The Raevyn....

 

That looks good! Very good! What air cleaner is that it doesn't look like a drop base.

 

Very nice! I had to go back and check the exterior photo because I was SURE you couldn't get a filter element that tall under the hood. But there it is.


You told us you were using a stick intake in a natural finish. But what are those heads. Went back through the thread, I didn't see you mention what heads they are? They appear to be aluminum.


Original plan said 454 TBI. And I know you opened the intake up. So are you running the big block TBI?

 

"That looks good! Very good! What air cleaner is that it doesn't look like a drop base."

It's an air cleaner I made myself using two cut up lids. I'll take pics when I get home.

"You told us you were using a stick intake in a natural finish. But what are those heads. Went back through the thread, I didn't see you mention what heads they are? They appear to be aluminum.

The heads are just the stock swirlies. I just painted them to help break up the black in the engine bay.

I'll be using a 454 TBI unit with the LT1/TBI hybrid engine I'm building.
