Hrm...
the 72...
Install headers and Magnaflow exhaust...dont like to hear about this crooked tail pipes problem though. Hope there is no problem with this for my car. Also, get the tires from a friend and mount them to my new wheels!!
Play around with the ignition some, play with the timing and get MSD's HEI Kit with new coil.
Also start looking around for estimets for bodywork.
And oh yeah...get it it retitled, tagged and insured!!!
In the future, work on suspension upgrades and squeezing out as much as I can out of the 350.
Bronco
Get tires and weld up the high flow cats, and replace windshield. Ill drive it around for a while, then who knows what Ill do with it.
Also retitle, tag and insure that too
Maxx
K&N BITCH!! Get some warranty work done to it before 36k rolls around

- 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.

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.

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.
