I saw a silver C5 Zo6 that was super clean with like 22k on the clock about a year and a half ago in Portland. It was winter time and the asking price was 23gs. It was immaculate. Bought the berd instead :I

They are a 5.3 head which are higher compression heads. Not sure how well they flow.

They flow well with a mild/decent sized cam but if you want a big cam then you would want some 243's. Steven is making some good power with them!

In stock form they only flow around mid 220's with the small valves. I got high 290's from a set I hand ported with larger valves about 6 years ago. I think the 243 heads have a much better short side radius and have the potential for more hp.

Just my. 02.

He said they came with a 68' Camaro he just bought and the seller had bought the headers to go on a LQ4 but would not fit properly.

Please tell me this is one of yours
http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/3707678787.html

Hey you...Yea YOU, the rugged, manly looking, probably a test pilot or something, action hero looking stud,...check out this killer racecar for sale!! Even if you're not all those things, the chicks will think you are after you buy this kickass Camaro!!

What's that you say? Don't need a racecar? BULLSHIT!! Anyone who says that is probably just too scared to ask his wife anyway. We don't need your kind. Beat it.

OK, now that the losers are gone, I bet the rest of you badasses want to see some more pictures of the car. Well, wait no longer:
Yea, it has a few dings and whatnot, but it's a racecar dude, get over it.

The heart of this killer Camaro is a 350 cubic inch 4 bolt main with vortec heads sucking air and fuel through a race prepped Holley carburetor that we stole from some *******. Ha Ha, just kidding, but if someone comes around wanting their carb back, you don't know us. Anyway, this thing roars bro, no I mean it really ROARS!!! When you hit the skinny pedal, things get real blurry looking, that's cause of the speed, fool! Take a peep at that bad oscar right down here:
A fire breathing, horsepower producing monster like that makes a lot of heat. That's why I dropped the coin on this sweet 4 core aluminum racing radiator. It was expensive, but I saved a lot of money on that carburetor. I'm running a high speed electric cooling fan and that combination keeps this sucker runnning cooler than the other side of the pillow...
All that power is being routed through a 3 speed saginaw transmission (did't get a picture of the tranny cause this chill *** ride sits way low to the ground. I didn't want to get all dirty and ****). We slapped a set of Speedway twin stick shifters on it for positive shifting, cuz. You can also see the removable aluminum racing steering wheel with pad in this shot...
Make no mistake about it guys, this car guzzles the dino juice. It's the only way to make the kind of outrageous horsepower that we're talking about here. Before that gas gets all mixed up with the air in our "borrowed" carburetor, it is stored back here, in this heavily fortified, fort knox looking, rear area of the vehicle, in an 8 gallon foam filled racing fuel cell with rollover valve:
For safety features, we have heavy tubular steel front and rear bars under the stock, cheesy, plastic bumpers. We also installed a fully mig welded rollcage made with .120 wall CREW tubeing for when **** gets sketchy:
Other stuff (some you can see in pics above, some you can't) includes a welded rear diff running 3:73 ratio, HD 5/8" extended wheel studs, door bars, fire extinguisher, Kirkey racing seat, 8.5"x27"-15" Hoosier Racing tires, QA1 custom valved rear shock absorbers, custom front suspension, and gauges with idiot lights for temp and oil pressure. It also includes a HD deep cycle battery in a case.


If you think you can handle this car, you probably can't. Those of us with enough testosterone to pilot a missile like this thing are few and far between, but hell, I really don't care who you are. I need some cash so if your interested, give me a call.

This is a turnkey car. It is ready to race. The car is set up for Meridian Speedway, to run in the street stock class.

My name is Nick. My number is 8 nine nine - 99 one 1. Call or text, but DON'T respond to this ad, I'll likely never see the e-mail. That's just the way I roll...





[EDIT]-- Due to a flurry of recent interest from the LEO community, I am adding the following: Said carburetor was loaned to us by a guy we met at the track several years ago. We have since lost contact with that dude, heard he was in jail maybe. The carb might not have been his to begin with, but who knows. If you think it is your carburetor, and you can identify the builder markings, you can have your carburetor back. We do need to charge a storage fee though. It works out to be $3,500, but we throw in a free streetstock camaro... just kidding, if you can ID the carb, it will be returned to you immediately. For everyone else, if that happens, the car is just as cool, only with a slightly shittier carburetor. The price is the same.
