Default just about finished one of my projects (pics)

well its not your usual camaro TPI swap. This truck was bought new by my grandpa in 1985 and passed on to me just before he passed on I promised to keep it alive. For the last three years it has been parked but now she is kicking again.

I still have to get a lokar TPI kickdown cable and ath350 VSS but she does run now!!!

Thanks for the help on here.

i have a set of headers but i think i am leaving the manifolds. this is a tow truck and i do not want the hassel of alot of aftermarket parts. it may get paint in a year or two.

the camaro in the back ground is in poor shape. I bought it along with 6 others when i started the 67 project in my sig. it could be built. needs all floors, front sheet metal, and qtrs.

It kills me that you can buy and install my old engine before I can even get my LS1 in the car!

I'm still backordered on two pieces, and one is sitting on a Fedex truck in limbo.
