[sweetbmxrider]

Nice man, transmaro on here runs a similar cam that made some good power in his setup. Can't wait to see the car finished.

[coolmanvette75]

I dont want to know how many hours it took to polish that intake manifold if it was done by hand...

[band77one]

clean car but those gfx and giant wing have to go

[bigz28man]

Imo those ground effects and wing set this car apart from the other Camaros on the road. No one said to GM when the iroc z came out...GM loose those ground effects. And the spoiler gives the car a more Retro look from when the camaros had the higher spoiler in the second Gen years.

gfx and wing look awesome, everyones got an SS wing, i was guilty of it when i had my 95Z lol

[chrisfrom nj]

nice project when are you going to have it back on the road

[bigz28man]

Should be on the road in two weeks, then in about a month is going back off the road, for a complete body overhaul.

[bigz28man]

the old valve covers will not be staying on this motor, they are only on to protect the new rockers and springs while other parts are going on.

a few more photos

looks great! i bet your getting antsy to start her up

[bigz28man]

i got my new beefed up t-56 trans in today, and man is it awesome. I also decided to put on my flywheel today. project moving forward, i will tackle the clutch and water pump, opti, alternator, and other various parts this weekend.

[bigz28man]

so I decided to get back to work on this motor build, did not get as much done as I wanted but hey my damn headers are still not back from the polisher, so I'm in no big rush. I did manage to get the fuel rails, injectors, starter, coil, and throttle body done. I really liking the way the back of the motor is looking, I know egr and air valves are not seen but hey it looks so much cleaner going in. Oh yeah the polishing company so conveniently told me that I will have my headers by the April 5th. whats another 2 weeks, when the car has not really moved in 7 months.

I love that polished stuff. What are you gonna do as far as valve covers go?

[bigz28man]

I have polished aluminum covers going on as well. Waiting till the build comes near compete to put them on

[sweetbmxrider]

Throw a few washers between the ignition coil and the head. They tend to heat soak and will give you issues. If you didn't already, put some fresh thermal paste between the ICM and the bracket to further help eliminate heat related issues.
