1977 Z28
Here are some tidbits on my 1977 Z28
It is a real Z28. 350/4bbl/4-speed car. It is now a 350/4bbl/6-speed car.
It was originally orange with a brown interior. Now it is red with a black interior.
Here are some pics of when I got it:

So it had a bad clutch due to oil contamination. One thing led to another, yadda yadda, 18 months later a new car showed up.
The motor had to come out for gaskets & cleaning. So i started taking things apart.
And it ended up like this

The interior has not received much attention yet. A lighted 4th gen rear view mirror! Fancy.
4th gen leather seats and front seat belts. They are in, I just have no good pics!
And 4th gen horns too. Hell yeah!
Rear 3 point belts (out of a Ford!) are in for my kids
Changes coming soon!

It now sports a T56 trans from a 99 Z28. Pro 5.0 shifter. I still use the factory clutch setup, and a McLeod adapter to mate the T56 to the 4spd bellhousing
6spd vs 4spd. Yikes!
the old hole and the new hole. Shifter now comes right up through the hole in the automatic console! We call that dumb luck!
My clutch linkage is all rod ends
Still has the OE 3.73 open rear, but that is hopefully changing soon too.

I don’t care about awards & shows and such,. I drive the hell out of this car. But a few I got were nice.
The members of NastyZ28.com voted it to their calendar a few years ago
I got a spot award at the Camaro Nationals a few years back.

new exhaust. best I can do right now w/o a lift.
American Racing Headers in Long Island.
Nice clearance for the filter & clutch linkage
Tailpipes! Flanges behind the stainless flowmaster 40s. I can remove the middle section.
It is totally over-exhuasted right now, but plans area foot to remedy that. Regardless, it runs better now, the old exhaust and hooker headers were doing me no justice. Ahh, to have tail pipes again is so sweet!
