Took some time off from the fbody scene had a kid you khow the story.Just got a 68 camaro this is my first 1st gen and kind of excited to start working on it.I aways wanted a first gen kind of my dream car outside of a shelby cobra

 

awsome car... got any pics? I have always wanted a an Orange 69 Z with 2 big black racing stripes... Maybe some day.

 

No pics yet the car will be coming apart this weekend for a semi fram off resto I just scored a 406 sbc for it.I would like to at least have it together and in primer atleast for next spring O.C. cruise weekend.Cant wait I'm like a kid at christmas,and it will be yellow with the dual black z28 stripes

 

Congratulations!!! The 68's are my favorite 1st gen. How'd you like to score a T56 swap to go along w/ that 406? Or a complete LT1/T56 swap so you could stay w/ fuel injection?

Later,


Steve.

 

Would like to keep it carbed like the look of a clean engine bay,but I might be interested in the t56 let me know what you got.

 

Mike,

I can appreciate staying w/ a carb. It is certainly much simpler and does keep the engine bay more wide open.

I have a T56 w/ ~40k on it. I had it rebuilt before I put it in my '95TA. It was rebuilt w/ carbon fiber blocker rings and a steel 3-4 shift fork. Since the rebuild it has ~750 miles.

What I have is: T56, flywheel, clutch, new pressure plate and throwout bearing, shifter, hydraulics, poly trans mount, bell housing and cross member. I'm asking $1,500+shipping for all of this. You and I are close enough that shipping would not be necessary.

I'm not using this because I've stepped up my power level and bought my friend's D&D T56.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,



Steve.
