Default Gen Camaro

Anybody have any pics of a gen 2 camaro with an LS engine and T-56, Preferably a 78, since that's what I have? What do you guys do about the wiring, do you modify the original harness, or get a new one?

I've got LS1/T56 in my 73. I think the 78 would be similar. What pics do you need?

As far as the wiring, Speartech can either modify the factory harness (if you want the PCM in the engine compartment) or make a custom harness if you want the PCM inside the passenger compartment (I put mine under the dash).

I just want a pic of the engine compartment. Was it hard converting to a hydraulic clutch?

Here ya go (same pic as I've posted before)



You'll have to buy or make a bracket to mount the clutch master cylinder, but overall the installation was fairly easy. I bought my bracket from American Touring Specialties.
