Get the damn thing running finally after 2 years, getting close! It consists of LE cam, LPP Longtubes/ory, borla/aeroturbine hybrid exhaust, ported intake with 58mm, miezere ewp, rest of boltons, finish up the suspension and a good solid tune. This summer LE2 heads and 4.10s will be added to help keep up at the shootout.

I'm satisfied with my car's power for the time being (423 rwhp) I bought an 84 2.3 stang (nonturbo) i'm considering modding that over the winter. Anyone on here ever put an lt1 into a fox?

Plans have changed constantly on mine. First it was a forged 355 with a stock crank, now its turned into a forged 383 with a compstar rotating assy.

Goals for the camaro before spring:
forged 383
LE2 heads and cam
BMR torque arm with relocation member
Subframe connectors that are long over due
and a dyno tune from speed inc.
and eventually a 12 bolt..

Goals for the firebrid:
I swapped an lt1 6spd in it
hotcam
still have to put the 4.10 rear end in it
need to paint my firehawk hood and a fender for it
DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF IT

Im hoping to be able to do this for this year. I recently purchased an 02 silverado crewcab that I couldnt say no to....So when I recover from the tow rig purchase Ill be back to trying to put the camaro back together.

I don't need to wait for anything, I live in NC and can drive year round!

But, sadly, it's still down for the winter. I'm finally getting around to doing the battery relocation, freshening up the interior, dropping its weight down (not too much though 3405 lbs w/ me in it), pulling the A/C, converting the fuel system to braided, tucking and removing some wires, etc etc, oh and finally putting the damn 383 / k-member/ a-arm setup in before summer!

So many mods, so little time (so much money spent).

lets see im doing a complete restoration on my 93 TA. it will consist of:
interior swap
lsx front end conversion with oem ws6 hood & matching ls1 lid setup(FTP lid)
will be stripping the car down to paint it (we own a body shop) BLK. in color
a fairly aggressive 355 build but undecided on H/C(probably LE but maybe AI) all bolt ons
t56 swap & mcleod street twin setup most likely. unless MONSTER builds lt1 setups soon
94^ ported intake/fuel rails w/ braided lines & fuel line mod. also 94 up harness obd1 pcm
haven"t decided who to tune it. Ls1speed is a great chioce but kinda far from me but who knows i might...
BMR T/A, adj panhard, control arms, SFC's, undecided on the rest for suspension
probably 17x7/17x11 street lites or...a nice set of used CCW's if a reasonable price
4.10's
eventually a moser 12 bolt. ofcourse this will not all be done this winter...but i need to find a few t56 swaps...
