^^^^^^^^^^ Nice looking car man! I love the hood scoop.........they look so awesome on those cars.

 

Hey CapnPete: I noticed on your webpage you state your 1981 Z28 came with a 2.56 gear? From the factory? I've had 2 of those cars, and in my experience they only came with one of two ratios: 3.08 with a 4-speed, and 3.42 with an automatic.

Just curious as to why the car had a 2.56 gear.

If you read on NastyZ28.com (this page) you'll see that 2.56's were an option for some cars --- either with the V6, or with the 267 or 305 V8. My car had a 350 and a 4-speed when I got it, but I know for a fact they weren't original..........well, the engine wasn't --- it was a 3970010 (2-bolt) block, which was not available in '81. That engine ran like crap, and eventually spun a rod bearing, so that's when my dad generously "donated" the 383 he bought from a friend of his (I love you dad!). Around the same time, the clutch blew, and instead of buying a new one, we put the TH350 in the car that my dad also just "happened to have" (gotta love mechanics with connections!). Since I was 17 and sucked at driving standard at the time, we thought the auto would be better. In the process of all this, we acquired a couple different parts cars, and one of them is the car where I got the 3.42's from.

So, long story short, the 2.56's were an original gear (and yes, it was still a posi rear end!) and my car went through many transformations in its life!

OH YEAH, I'm also the biggest a$$hole for selling it. I still kick my own a$$ for that.

 

Nice car! I have the same hood as yours if it's a Goodmark

 

Nice car

Mine was sharp untill someone slammed into my side
I need some rims too, so while we are on the subject, anyone have any opinions what would look good on my car?

 

ya man, thx for the comments on my car... ya so wheels... well if u have the $$ as i did haha pick up some nice A/R TT2s or if u want the same rim but way cheaper eagle alloy makes the same rim... 17" btw haha i really need new rubber now

 

Oh and the cars on the BCTFB site....

 

Okay, I was under the impression your car is a Z-28. If it is an original Z-28, and it is a Canadian car, then it would have come from the factory with the LM-1 350. In both 1980 and 1981 -for Canadian Z-28's - you had the choice of either a Borg-Warner Super T-10 4-speed manual (with 3.42 first gear ratio) and 3.08 rear axle gears, or the TH350 automatic trans. with a 3.42 posi rear axle. All Canadian (aka 'Export') Z-28 Camaro's in both 1980 and 1981 came with the LM-1 350 with either 4-speed manual or TH350 automatic transmission. In the US, those Z-28's for domestic market only came with the 305 if you ordered the car with the 4-speed, and the LM-1 could be had with the automatic. The (US domestic market) LM-1 had Computer Command Control which the Canadian cars did not.

I have owned two 1980 Z-28s (one 4-speed; one automatic), and was the 2nd owner of both. These cars both had their orginal drivetrains still in them when I purchased them (the 4-speed car I bought in 1989; the automatic in 1994). The 4-speed car had 3.08 (limited-slip) and the auto. trans car had 3.42 gears (also with limited-slip).

If however, your car is a Camaro - but not a Z-28 - then it could have any number of engine/transmission combinations as you posted.

Okay, that would make your car a non-factory Z-28.

Just wanted to get some clarification on that.

Thanks,
