camaro- my new timing gear and chain on, chip installed, louvers on, body work done - maybe paint too if theres any money left over from the lincoln 5.0 ho swap, which hopefully will have engine flushed, compression tested, and headers maybe a cam.

2 carb rebuilds for my "internet customers" plus I'm assembling another of my low-buck "junkyard" 350s for use in my Wife's 92 RS Camaro (replacing the tired old 190K mile 305 TBI engine).

If I get ambitious I'll drop the motor in and then run it down to the shop to get the 4.10s installed in the rear end.

Well finish up my car. Its been 50 degrees this week so My husband & I have been out finishing installing the HSR in my car.

What we have left is get a new Rad top hose, Clamps, & a few odds & ends. Today we had the car started & running for like 1.5 secs.

We had a foot of snow last month, It caused our portable garage to fall on our 2000 GTP Daytona pace car. $4400 of body work later its finally back at the house.

NO thanks again you can keep the snow.

Finish the rear suspension, change the motor and tranny mounts. Take the squeeks out of the exhaust. Front end rebuild, SFC's. This weekend it is Dyanomat the entire car. Replace some burnt out bulbs, and install components in the sill where the 6X9's went as well as an amp install and Window tint glue removal. Then we can get started on preping for a paint job and interior rebuild.

1.5 months left I WISH!!!! try 2.5-3 months but anyway I`m pulling the 305 out freshing it up new brearings and rings then I`m putting a performer EGR and a holley 600 with 305 heads with the 1.94" intake valves and to finish it off I`m putting a 2.5 " duels on w/dual cats and flowmasters that should put me inbetween a 350 TPI and a LT1

Next year 383/400hp I can`t wait

oh and your not putting a ford 5.0L in your Camaro are you????? Please say no.

officially one of the worst experiences so far in my life....

for my car i already have enough money to get the repairs done from my accident (need new front bumper cover, fix slightly dented front wheel, new tires) i just gotta get the bumper cover and have it painted.

I plan on building a ram air box which is going to be interesting, removing my turn signals and replacing them with some low profile LED's and using the opening to run ducting for air cooled front brakes.

Also hoping i can save up enough money to buy a t-56 and do the auto to manual swap in my garage.

Well I might put a new cam in too, I`m not sure yet I don`t want to take too much of my 383 money and put it into the 305. I just want somthing for this year till I get my 383 done I`m hitting the track this year too I can`t wait it`ll be my 1st time I`ll be going to Cayuga have you been there?

Since when did you smack up the IROC-Z I don`t think I read anything about it? could you fill me in?

I plan on finishing up the LT1 Head/Intake 350 and dropping it in. Maybe with tax money I'll buy the XE 230/236 and maybe have the heads ported....Lyold Elliot style
