Very sexy! Are those the AFR 227's? I like the rockers lol, I have the same ones for my 383 haha. Are you planning on keeping the gear driven water pump, or are you gonna go electric?

sorry guys, I will post the specs on the heads and cam soon, and yes i'm running a mechanical water pump, As I begin to put this motor together I have been deciding what brand and how big of a pro charger I want to go with. Its funny Im selling a car and buying a pro charger with that money, something seems a little off.

it's funny how we have the feeling that it's a bad decision, or not the soundest decision, but we do it anyway.

Very nice looking car, ditch the body kit though, it's too much. Maybe keep the RS spoiler though.

Or is that a big *** ricer spoiler lol? if so pull that **** immediately that car looks too nice to rock that junk!

For full-size photos I upload pics to photobucket and then copy the IMG code directly to the Quick Reply box.

Looking good!!!

I noticed you have the same oil pan I do. What did you end up doing for a dipstick?

Im using the stock dip stick, was alittle unsure what to use so I figured I would go with the stock one, should I be using something different? Thanks for the compliments on the body kit....its staying I liked the way the RS camaros looked with the OEM kit so I decided to put this one on. The spoiler is staying on as well....its Retro dating back to the 2nd Gen. camaros, and the the Gen. 5 camaros are running a much similar OEM spoiler. This car is far from being a ricer .
