My Z28 Diary
I deided to make a log of all the work being done to the camaro..
Here is my project. I don’t know what it is about this car, but I love everything about it. I bought it in October of 2006 FOR $1000.00 Bucks. When I got her she ran like ****, and looked the same. Just run down in all aspects. So I took her home and started cleaning her up. Little by little. When 1st got her Slapstick this should look familiar... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../TheZ28094.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../TheZ28099.jpg In the Garage with C-5 rims, new interior, new front bumper and some engine work http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...cture006-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...cture007-4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../TheZ28003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../TheZ28148.jpg On the Road Now… http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...cture022-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Picture050.jpg New Built 10-bolt http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...i/IMG_1513.jpg And some cleaning and undercoating http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...i/IMG_1514.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...i/IMG_1516.jpg All new tubular rear suspension pieces http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...i/IMG_1518.jpg All Primed and ready to go to the track http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...manpsi/003.jpg Ran a 13.7@104 1st time out with no spray and bad launch… Well after cruising for the summer and one last try at the track.

After taking some time and gathering some info from different write-ups I moved my Alt to the AC spot on my LT-1
I started with this page: (if anyone wants to do this mod on their LT-1 I would recommend reading this tech article) http://www.lt1engine.com/tech/lt1-al...or-relocation/ Ill let the pics do the talking but I basically did the same as above but did a different setup for the Alt bracing. All in all it was worth the 3-4 hours of work to get it right... It changes the look of my engine by leaps and bounds!!! Anyway here are the pics: This is where the original Bracket goes Alt sits up almost above the engine itself http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2238.jpg here it is cut off and just about smoothed out... MUCH BETTER http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2237.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2238.jpg I made this bracket (came from an old mower deck) and cut an old socket in half; It's solid as a rock! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2238.jpg here is a better shot of the bracket http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2238.jpg What a difference http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2237.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...00525-2238.jpg |

pull the dash, pull the box, cut in half, reassemble! some companies make hvac delete plates if you don't wanna make your own. you will just have to make openings for the heater lines and vac supply line.
