Busy weekend but I did manage to get the subframe connectors welded in, the transmission in and started installing the main hoop for the cage but my camera battery is dead so no pics until later this week.

13's or bust....LOL

Just a couple of pics: the new subframe connectors are in

Starting to get really full under the hood!!!



Hope to finish the wiring and plumbing this week then back on the intercooler piping once that is all finished I can fire it up!
Thanks for all the kind words it has been a long road at least I can see the end now!

Still plugging away just keep forgetting to take pics LOL! Made a change on the intercooler I was going to use a double core procharger that I had but I ended up buying a much larger FMIC and the piping is being a real pain just not that much room on a 1st gen between the radiator and grill. I will snap a few pics tomorrow and post them up.

The engine and the ProCharger look great in your 1st gen, it's coming along nicely! Bob

Still running into problems this time it is the headers not fitting with aftermarket tube A arms


BRP sent me a set of upper motor mounts unassembled I just finished welding them up going to move the motor back about 1.5 inches that will cure the passenger side issue still looks like I will have to take my CPP 500 steering box off and go to a stock P/S box so the drivers side header will fit. It never ends....LOL

There has been a change of plans and cars LOL! Long story short I just did not have the heart to cut up the Camaro the way I wanted to it was just too nice and rare plus someone found out I had it and offered me a load of cash for it minus motor trans and rear so it now has a new home! I have located and purchased a new car to replace it with that is already cut in all the right places so stay tuned I pick up the new ride tomorrow!

LS1 Headers and mounts from the Camaro are for sale in the classified section 900.00!!
