Hello all,
Im new to forums so I thought id share my current project. I bought this 96 camaro with a blown up 3.8 for $600. The original plan was to use the body to replace my badly rusted 95 z28. Well my plans have changed, now Im wanting to do a 5.3 with a mp t70 turbo. This will be a long project but will stay updated. Feel free to offer ideas, Im gonna need help So far I got the engine out and have been cleaning up the engine bay, I hope to have it in primer tomorrow. Sorry for the crappy pics, my phone is ancient.

I got the Floor pans primered and painted today, also got the engne bay primered. Im thinking about using semi gloss roustoleum rattle can paint. Anyone ever use it before for an engine bay?

Has anyone used a regular style tubular k member with a front mount turbo? Just trying to figure out if i need a turbo k member for a front mount using 6.0 manifolds. Thanks!!

You can use a regular style kmember and run the DP where the A/C compressor used to be.

Ok thanks. I just didnt want to spend $100 more if i didnt have too. So the turbo k member is made more for a rear mount or twin turbo setup?

Sounds like you already have a good game plan, just stick with it and don't let the small things side track you like they do to me!

go to www.photobucket.com and upload your pictures there. then use the IMG link from there and copy and paste it in here. it will be easier to see your pics.

As for the build, keep it going, should be a great build.

why does everyone give up their A/C?

Thanks for the link..I deleted the ac because I dont like air conditioning (except for my house) Im always too cold, cant find a good medium...I would much rather have the windows down in 90' degree weather.

I found a garret t4 turbo for $200. It has an 110 A/R. Is this too big for a stock 5.3?
