Default Camaro Z28 from the ground up

This thread will follow the complete rebuild of my 1998 Camaro Z28 from the ground up

Here is how the car sits now















The parts piles



















Some new parts







Car is going to get a Moser 12 bolt and full UMI suspension setup, RPM Trans Stage 5 trans, Moly DS. The motor for now will be a Heads/Cam LS1 with FAST Mani and 90mm throttlebody. The final motor setup will be a 449ci LS2/LS7 out of my buddies Z06 that makes 612 at the wheels on pump

Stay tuned
