Default 408 TT fbody build

(Disclaimer this post will take a few days for me to set up due to my work schedule then I will update as progress is made)

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys in on the journey that I am on with my buddy Ross at Trust Automotive here in Virginia. After running around with a nitrous set up on my 99 Camaro this past summer, we decided to head in a different direction. So we sent a 6.0 iron block to a local machine shop and had it punched out to a 408 to build ourselves a TT car to hopefully go real fast!
This is my first build thread that I have ever done and I will go ahead and apologize for my weak first attempt but I am gonna give it hell!

So this is what we were starting with. A full suspension 99 Camaro, with a little bit of weight cut out of it. I will post pics shortly of the pics prior to tear down.

This is the car we started with. 99 camaro, full rear suspension (mostly bmr items with afco 2 ways on all four corners),moser 9 inch and built FTI th400 (and converter) with tbrake.


(If I am not allowed to put the companies names of the items on my car due to sponsorship let me know and I will remove it)

You are correct, I thought we went with billet wheels but we didn't. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I didn't even notice in the pics and have yet to see them in person. Good eye!
