At 2200 lbs, with at least 350 rwhp (the headers have to be worth at least 20 rwhp) he should be realy quick in the quarter. You think 10s would be possible? That's over a 1000lbs less than a stock f-body and they run low 13 to high 12s.

Wow, very nice. Good luck and keep us all informed.

Well, I feel a bolt-on 6spd is good for ~109-111mph trap speeds in the 1/4.

Add ~20rwhp in headers = ~113mph trap speed.

Now subtract ~1200lb's (assuming avg 6spd Camaro is ~3400lb's), and that should be worth 7-10mph in the quarter.

It would have a very hard time at high 10's w/o slicks and a gear.

But mid 11's at 120+ should be attainable. . . we'll just have to convince my Dad to let me drive it.

damn thats swwweeettt I wanted to build a factory five cobra but it would of had to be my daily driver, NOT practical at all. But I am happy with my 2001 SS camaro. The cobra will have to wait a while till I come into some MONEY I wouldn't mind to put a LS1 in mine when I do it.

Looks great! I have a Factory Five Cobra that I want to do the same thing to, so I will be keeping an eye on your site. Please keep us updated on the details, I know how hard that can be when you have a project to work on. I went ahead and put the 302 into my Cobra because it was easy, but I really would like to swap it out for a LS1/T56. I'm working on the paint right now, so the LS1 will probably get done next winter.

I ve got one in about a million peices too....I m going the turbo 3.8 route.....

But a ls1 is a great idea too.

A friend has one with a sc 385hp ford crate motor.....and a felpro and a richmond 6 speed.....it has run 11.40 but the 6 speed makes it hard for him to drive....I think the mph was in the 124 area....

I can t wait......Im shooting for 2200 lns too....

The page is up now. It's hosted on a local PC of mine, so it may be a bit slow at times <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I have some more pics to put up on the page as well.. the radiator & mounts are done, the frame is now ready to go (stripped & painted with POR), and reassembly of the whole frame & drivetrain is going to be done for good now (no more mocking up etc).

Most of the rest of the work is not that difficult (just labor for Derf <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> ), but there are a few issues we need to figure out, like the clutch linkage & line.
