Can you say 396ci LSx... And the price on the window is 7650, a super steal, but I am getting it for less than that, at least we will find out tomorrow... I will regret selling the car, much like my 1992 with ultra rare SLP T-Ram - or my 1969 - or my 1991... bla bla bla. I guess I am a Camaro man

 

you say 396 lsx, but i say 572 from GMPP

Car drove home last night as expected...absolutely no problems.

Will be in touch.

As being one who's recently done the same damn thing all I can say is......Excellent choice........

Now if it were me I'd..........

**** it baby, old school looks....new school power

There are a few things you need to get used to now that you have a classic.....

A) listening to people tell you about the one they had back in the day

B) it doesn't drive like the new ones but you can make it better

C) Get rid of the carbed old school motor, we as a society evolved for a reason.

If you read Popular Hot Rodding they did a series of articles about a year ago on project G28 and I did some similar things to my 73 Z/28....

Hotchkis front and rear springs, KYB shocks, entire new front end from PST.

I find NPD is a good place to get old school parts.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

EDIT - one more thing.....you'll love the new found engine room you have. Plenty of space in the engine bay, no more acting like Gumby just to change a set of plugs...

www.nastyz28.com is a good second gen board

 

Thats good news Bob! You guys must have passed a friend of mine on the highway. He called and asked me where I was going... it took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about... lol.

And no Tracer... the car went to a GREAT home (which is a good feeling). I had lots of calls from all over, California, Texas, Arizona, Rhode Island, New York, etc. Bob and his son came through, very polite and professional, made the transaction a breeze. Spoke on Thursday, they were here on Friday.

This certainly isn't their first LSx car - I believe he said something about a 4.190" bore 4.125" stroke motor they assembled recently

 

I think you really want that car and it was a good decision to sell this one. Plus, you are going to have a really unique, stand out car when you are done. Can't beat that

 

70-73 is by far my favorite year camaro. I had my 70 1/2 Z28/RS for years...But my 2000 T/A is better...Good luck with it...Hope you made the right decision!

 

Thanks Steph. It basically left me debt free plus I still has an SS, just an older one. It's a good feeling to not owe anyone any money

1st and Goal - I spoke with you up at NED. I told you I was looking for one... lol. Any info you have collected would be great. I gotta try to seal the deal with the gentleman that owns the car today before I jinx myself here.

 

for you guys who are lookin at stuff like hotchkis for suspension,i have an alternative. http://www.martzchassis.net/
bring that suspension into the same century as the engine you are planning to drop in it.

 

Nice car, I love that body style.

 

Thats a camaro SS with a split bumper put on the car,The split bumper option came with round turn signals on the header panel,I Just wanted u to know in case the guy passed it off as a rs/ss...

Very good deal on the car,good luck with her...

I like the BB 2nd gens myself but there VERY RARE and can get pricey...

 

Good to know JS, thanks Will help me when bartering on price tomorrow morning. Little does the guy know I am going to cut it up anyway

 

Good stuff, maybe down the road....I already did the suspension.

 

I was actually going to post a link to his site as I heard everyone talking suspension. I did one of the rear set ups in a family members car and it was amazing. Great fit and HOOKED!!!

 

Great decision on going to an older body style Camaro! Good luck with it all.

 

YOU HAD A T-RAM?!!!!?!?!!?!!?!?! AND YOU SOLD IT?!?!?!?!?!?

 

Great car. I would have taken a loan and kept the 4th gen. I have that series from Popular hot rodding on the project G28. They should have put an ls1 in it. I think they ended up with 200something rwhp. out of a 383 stroker.

 

Yeah... I know a guy that has around 5-6 of them too... lol.
Attached a pic of the engine bay on my 1992 Z28 w/L98.

 

hey! i was sold my car (with almost all of the below mods) and i was 17! Runs better then when i bought it now. were not all bad

 

I believe someone purchased Tracer's old H/C Camaro and totalled it, thus the comment to me
