What would you do? Looking for some opinions here. I'm working on the 68 Camaro in the pic below.
It is currently a mild street car with a small block and B/W super T-10 4 speed. I am definitely looking to do a LSX swap in the near future. I want to stay with a manual trans and possibly add forced induction later on. The car will never be daily driven or raced competitively. Just a fun street car that may see the strip a few times a yr.
So what I really want opinions on is this: What would you do with the list of parts below and a budget of around $6k?
Stuff I already have:
LT1 with 6-speed from 94 Z28 (I know... needs mods to convert to LSX)
A-1000 fuel pump
Regulator for carb - blow through
80 mm S400 turbo with 1.10 AR T6 hot-side
CSU blow through 750 carb
Carb bonnet
50 mm wastegate
BOV
Options that I am considering:
1. Concentrate $$ resources on the drivetrain (T56 Magnum) and go lower buck on the LSX swap (probably go carbed 5.3).
2. Spend more on swapping the motor (maybe EFI bolt on 6.0), and use the LT1 T-56 after mods
3. I don't know..... maybe sell some of the stuff I have to fund a better plan.
What do you guys think? I'm open to any suggestions.
