Take a minute and see If I have everything!

Well I just bought my camaro right before winter and I havnt even really had a chance to work on it. I am slapping on some new valve covers, intake, and a fuel pump with a regulator to get some nice flow. I just want to make sure I didnt miss anything and if you recommend anything please let me know.


Please click Here to see the items I have selected. Thanks in advance!

That stinks! Do you have the original engine in it? If not what have you done to it?

The only other thing I can think of that you might want is a nice throttle linkage kit. A shinly new chrome one looks so much nicer

its got a 350 that i was told is stock but i think its modded a little bit. it have a edlebrock carb, vavle covers, k and n air cleaner, edlebrock performer intake, 2:41 gears out back, 3 inch flowmasters with 2 1/4 inch pipes and 3 inch tails, had 800 watta amp but thats in gfs jeep, 2 10 inch mtx 4000, pioneer 6400 head unit, 3.5 inch cowl hood, 3rd gen front seats, 4th gen badges, 3rd gen 25th anniversary rims, and home painted fuscia stripes. running a measly 15.5 @ 92 mph soon to have a 3:42 rear and some other goodies to help my times out maybe even a 377 stroker out of my wheeling truck. may be seeling the hood if u are interested not sure though.

Man, don't those things suck! I've got those same gears in my Nova and they're damn nice for highway cruising, but they suck for the drags.

If/when I get gears I'm going to go with a 3.08 and a posi. I don't want to spin my motor too high and the turbos I have planned for it should help it off the line enough to make up for the gears

Do you have a pic? I was thinking about putting some 3rd gen rims on there but never could picture what they would look like on my car. Home painted stripes, do they look descent?

they look fine as a matter of fact i dont have a pic yet but i can scan one later and email it to you if u give me email address. i just was offered a 84 firebird for free all i have to do is put it together and get some stuff for it like a wiring harness engine which will most likely be my stroker exhaust and steering column. its metallic plum crazy purple, purple and black tweed interior, ttops air induction hood but hey its free im going to look at it sunday so i may be selling more stuff if any one is interested. and yes those gears do suck a$$ but owell what ya gonna do.

Talking

you will need a new base for the fuel pump! i dont know if edelbrock makes one, but i know that holley does. if you dont get it, the inlet will hit the motor mount.also, you will need gaskets for the valve covers and intake. check your mail.

speaking of the fuel pump... what will I need to do to convert this from a mechanical fuel pump to electric?
