I'll see if I can dig up some more. It ws a solid mechanical valve train, 383 stroker. Had a 4000 stall, trans brake, TH350, 12 bolt, 4.56's. Had a set of ported stock heads on it I was told.....not sure on the motor specs, becuase I didn't build it.

Yeah, I could have said it's a Z28...but I would be a liar. The dead give away is the chrome trim. Z28's had black trim from the factory. Actually, my Camaro is mismatched with various Z28 parts. The hoodscoop is from a '80-'81 car and the fender grilles are from a '78-'79 car. I figured it doesn't matter if I mismatch since my Camaro is a "Z28 clone" anyways.

Keep the pictures coming.....we're in the process of restoring my buddies 79' Camaro. I want him to paint it white (wonder why?!?! haha) and he likes that "Eleanor silver" off the Gone in 60 Seconds Mustang. Sweet cars so far.

Cool pictures. My uncle bought a 78 Z/28 brand new and still has it today. His car is the reason why I got into Camaros.

here it is along with his 94 Z/28.
