Default 454 BBC in 00 Camaro Z-28

Wondering if there are any carbureted 454 BBC projects installed in any 98-02 camaro strip cars? If so could you explain your set-up?

Curious as well... except mine is a 98 Trans Am. I know it is done but I am hoping someone on here can chime in with some advice.

Have you seen graham's car? Somewhere on another forum is pics of his Camaro drag car project, and it is has a big block. I have seen one in person, and it was at a super chevy show. The guy was a part of the Chicago street outlaws. I believe he was running in the 8's. Here is a pic of graham's car. As for a big block in a street car (98 - 02 Camaro or Trans Am), that I have never seen.

Has that car been back-halfed??? Is there a link to any more pictures that you know of?

That is a full tube chassis car. Just a bare body mounted on the chassis, with aluminum floor. I will try and find the link to all of the pics. Ok, I found it. Here it is.

You are welcome. I agree, they are doing a fine job on that car.
I have a 68' Camaro that I am doing the same thing to, but it is not that far along yet. I am still constructing the chassis. I will post pics as soon as I get a little more done.
