1999 Chevy Camaro Z28

Basically...

The motor spun a bearing and I rebuilt the engine completely.

It now has
385hp version LS6 cam
LS6 Ti Valves (fresh valve job obviously)
Comp 915 springs
Diamond -8cc lightweight forged pistons (3.905 bore ), probably about 9.3:1 compression
Speed Pro Hell fire rings (150 bucks!)
Crower forged 6.125" I beam rods
stock crank turned 10/20
aftermarket lid
flowmaster muffler
no catalytic converters

LS1_Edit (car not tuned to the cam and lower compression)

freshly rebuilt 4L80E trans from an 01 or 02 truck

BMR (hammer tone coated) tubular crossmember for 80E and torque arm also

The car is black with t-tops and all options and it has 00+ SS wheels, painted silver.

The car has 15X,XXX miles, the trans is still sitting on the carport, and the engine is sitting in the car unran.

It needs a cable to use a factory shifter, finish tuning via LS1_Edit, a torque converter, and im afraid I dont have a driveshaft yet either.

Its black/black with the angel eye halo headlights and euro dark corner markers.

I have a pair of 6.0L non emissions truck manifolds that go with it. The long term plan was a bigger rear and a truck manifold turbo setup. Hence the forged boost pistons and forged rods.

Now it wont crank because of fuel pressure problem.... There is no pressure! Maybe the pump froze up over the rest period??

$4200.







Ignore the BnM shifter. Ignore the M6 console piece.

The car had a TH350 in it... switched to 4L80E

Pending my delivery.. the transmission and crossmember is gone in exchange for everything I need to put a stock trans in plus all the goodies I didnt have like a converter and drive shaft.

Id still sell it roller for $2K.. or $3500 with the engine but after I replace the fuel pump and put the transmission in... it'll be running again and not for sale for the original price in this thread.

Well here is where im at.

Fuel pressure problem was fixed with a Granatelli 255lph pump kit! I put it in via cutting a hole in the floor and the hole needs a patch panel over it.
Traded the 4l80E trans for a 4L60E and all the stuff to go with it.

Had no oil pressure at first (a couple pounds) so I tracked that back to the oil galley plugs. 1 in the back and 1 in the front. Now she has oil pressure and runs smooth.

Sway bar needs to be bolted up. Exhaust needs to be welded where I cut it and 2 bolts on the y-pipe need to be replaced. They are rusted and I broke em. Throttle cable needs adjusting. Trans dipstick is a little bent where I put it in and needs to be straightened. 1 foglight is out. Needs a battery. I cant find the small belt that goes to the a/c. And it needs a shifter cable and the mount on the trans.

If anyone is interested in taking this project off my hands... 3500 as is OBO.
