Nice car. Is that an impala? The turbo looks right at home. Should make some nice power. Perfect sleeper.

Im planing a s475 384 build in my camaro also, cant wait for the results.

Turbo oil drain fitting welded to sump and turbo feed is coming from where the oil pressure switch is originally fitted.

Cheers dude, nah its a bel air. Fingers crossed to make some power. No intercooler just meth injection

I like it. I dont think you have to worry about making power. I am sure it will. What is the engine from?

OTT308

The engine is just standard out of a 2000 holden (like your gto). It is the 3.9 bore with 241 heads. The only mods are the camaro sump and valve springs.

I started to do some panel work, Deleting all the trims on the body line on the side of the car. Other than that the plan is just a nice paint job in the same original colour.

great looking setup and thumbs up for doing it yourself will be interested to see the boost levels and power with just the meth !!!! run an s475 myself !!!awesome!!!! cheers

Finally got the thing started, just to make sure everything is ok.

Oil pressure is low and there is a knocking noise down low in the engine.

Nice progress, you don't mess around!

Looks like it will be a sweet cruiser

I figure this thing requires a decent diff setup. So i got a junk 9 inch for a good price, sourced new bearings, aluminium pinion support and detroit tru trac LSD (31spl). I will also fit billet axles and disc brakes to the rear aswell. Whilst it is out i will replace all the bushes and box in the lower trailing arms.
I am leaving the old 2.75:1 gears in it for now

trailing arms boxed in



diff shortened, axles made and diff brackets welded on




some painting






Putting the diff in the car, and fits nicely

This is the start of the project when it turns into a 383 LS1. Because of knocking noise and low oil pressure i stripped it down and decided to build it up. I think someone at one stage has fitted a too big of a cam to it as every single intake valve had hit the pistons and all the intake guides were sloppy.




The piston markings

This is when i ordered a Wiseco/K1 stroker kit, Melling HV oil pump, Comp cam/push rods/lifters/springs/MLS head gaskets/head stud kit/main stud kit and billet timing chain









Assembling the block/filing rings etc
