I went semi gloss black because the white was trash and it'll be easy to touch up.

The motor is 355ci with aftermarket internals. Nothing beefy, just not stock. CC503 cam, full bolt ons, electric WP, double roller TC, 3-angle valve job and milled heads, ported intake and 58mm TB.

The car in the background is a Teal 94Z. Absolutely beautiful car, immaculate. Here's a pic:
(with the old wheels, now has JR wheels)

Incredible job, I remember when I went from my V6 Camaro to my V8. The difference in power is incredible, you'll be so happy you made the swap trust me.

Nice looking shop as well, I really wish I had a nice shop I could work on my car in instead of my tiny garage.

Wow, she's come a long way

And I feel compelled to say that is one hell of a garage!

Thanks everyone.

I got the front sway bar and brackets all cleaned up and painted today. They're all back on. The rearend is coming out tomorrow and I'll be putting one in that has 4.10s and a cover, before it goes in though it of course is getting a nice cleaning and a coat of POR15. Along with the sway bar and brackets on the back being cleaned/painted.

More pictures to come.
