Oldly LT1 is reborn. A buddy of mine bought a 94Z A4 for $1600. It came will all the trim.....A 181,xxx mile motor, Wrecked in the front, power windows didnt work, car didnt run, rear end was froze up, transmission only had 1st gear....... completely 150% stock untouched. We have no clue to what happened to the car but for $1600 why not. So in about a week we replaced the transmission with a 4L65 that was in the corner, a 3.42 geared rear end, got the motor to start, and added a set of Hooker super comp heads (laying around) 52mm tb which we traded for a case of beer. and here are some pics and videos of our accomplishment..
This was the first start up and moving under its own power, the exhaust got changed twice, this is with a bullet in place of the hooker muffler which we later used.

And at last with the final wheels and exhaust, it leaves my garage.

Well im just the mechanic on this project. But so far the future the owner doesnt really know what he wants to do, he just glad its running at this point. And besides he cant be mad at only have $2100 in the car. (Thats including the price of the car).
Not bad, but arent you worried about the plugs with the way they are run? May want to look into securing them into place so they dont hit the header mani or get caught in the belts...
Looks awesome so far tho!

Nice looking car, make sure he gets the hookup if your his mechanic 
I always liked the forest green camaros, and the T-roof is key. Sounds like he has big plans, but we all know the modding ridiculousness starts as soon as you drive it.

man I sure wish I had a buddy that just has trannies, headers, exhaust, rear ends and cheap hoods with know how and time to spare.
Sweet deal nice project. So why wouldnt it start B4?

Decent looking car that should run mid 13's for under $2.5k? Sweet!
You said it was completely stock when you got it, so are those 181k mile spring in the back causing that stance?

Good find there and lucky for you that there is a buddy who had parts such as that sitting around. These cars are out there just have to be willing to put in a little work to get them back on the road.

I wish this one would have been around when I picked up a low mileage 97 Z/28 Convertible. Oh well...
