New from Raleigh, NC New member from central NC. Been a member over on Impala SS forum since 2010 for my Buick Roadmaster wagon. Just bought a 94 z28 camaro t56 manual that needs some motor work so am going to be venturing into my first attempts at internal motor work here pretty soon. I would also like to venture into some work with the LS platform in the future, so figured this was a good place to get involved in as well.
I live in Raleigh, I'm a full-time college student graduating at the end of this year. I love working on cars and am very interested in learning more about all aspects of performance automotive and getting into some DIY engine building.
My current cars:
94 Roadmaster Wagon - LT1/4l60e, intake, mail-order tune, low temp tstat, aftermarket radiator, stiffer springs front and rear, hotchkis bars, tubular trailing arms, impala ss front end, impala ss 17" rims, stereo. Car is a road trip machine with 3rd row seating. Its a hog at 4600lbs, but I love it.
Future plans - Paint job, 3.42 gears and posi, higher stall, longtubes, mild cam and valvetrain upgrades, possible nitrous and possible aluminum head swap and would like to learn how to do some mild home port/polish work.
94 Camaro z28 - LT1/t56 6-speed manual. Just picked it up last month. Motor needs gone through. Intake, MSD coil and wires, project car that I want to a little more with just a pure performance approach with.
Future plans - Do a mild rebuild on motor, ARP harware, cam, stiffer valvesprings, hardened rods and guides, NSA roller rockers, 7/16" rocker studs, Longtubes, ORY, chassis and suspension stiffening, possible port/polish work, AIR/EGR delete, clean up engine bay, some weight reduction, and want to learn about getting into some home tuning.
Distant future plans - 12 bolt rearend, Performance Clutch, Nitrous and meth on a forged high compression 383 stroker motor would be awesome, but won't be money allowing any time terribly soon. Or could go to a turbo 5.3 setup, we'll see in a couple years ha.
I have 2 LT1 cars and a spare motor for both to mess with in the garage, one spare iron wagon motor and 1 spare aluminum camaro motor, both 94's as well and perfect matches for the two in my cars.
I'm glad to be on the forum and look forward to getting into some more serious motor work in the future.
