In the future, work on suspension upgrades and squeezing out as much as I can out of the 350.

- Assemble and paint the 355 shortblock (stock crank, resized rods, ARP bolts, Speed Pro hyper pistons, ZZ4 cam)

- Pull the World heads off the 305, have the springs checked to make sure they work with the ZZ4 cam, then install on shortblock

- Have Prevost burn a new chip

- Pull 305 and T5 out. Change leaking rear seal on T5, and install 355 :)

- Break-in new engine with open headers to piss off my co-workers :)

Nice! Those tires will look good on rally's. I ran some 235/60/14 on 14x6 rally wheels on my first Camaro. The car handled great and looked awesome.

Dark_Knight7096 02-16-2006 12:31 PM

I have a CAI, 3" downpipe with high flow cat, ported exhaust manifolds, 3.4" pulley, colder plugs, and a colder tstat just waitin to be installed.

245/60/15 is a great setup on a second gen. Nice height, not too tall. Nice & wide but no rubbing issues. Mine may get them before the summer is over. I hate the stock sized and especially fugly 225/70/15s Goodyears on mine.

Mike 02-16-2006 03:11 PM

how often does your rear seal leak?

i just changed the one on my t-5 when i did the clutch and its leaking 5k miles later..

Teds89IROC 02-17-2006 12:11 AM

just saw this post now lol hmm lets see...as far as the crooked tips of the magnaflow..mione were crooked, so I brought it back to the guy and he cut/welded and made them both equal. and as far as winbter mods, I still need to start lol...I plan to do most of this the week of spring break and saturdays after. I just finished redoing my room, so now its onto the camaro.

-put in the walbro 255 lph fuel pump
-repaint the chassis while the rear and gas tank are dropped
-have my SFC's welded in
-install LCA's and weld in relocation brackets
-order rear tires...prolly get them once it is nice out so i can smoke up the old ones :devil:
-make a new belt setup so I can ditch the A/C compressor
-bug my dad to call a collector car insurance company and put his vette and my camaro on the policy. My friend's mom set up one for him..I forget which company, but he pays I think $100 a year. I've gotten a few online quotes for $80-$120 per year.

Mine has ~7K on it. I'm also going to check the o-ring at the speedo connection too. It seems like this thing is leaking an awful lot of fluid, but ATF spreads out so it's tough to really guess how much I lost.

since mine is non wc i use gear oil and that doesnt slow down leaks either
