Ordered up some new parts for the project.... ......damn this crap cost a lot of money.
Parts ordered were all from Total Cost Involved. Ordered the whole IFS with show package and Airbags with 12" brakes. Also ordered the Rear 4 link with a ford 9" with Airbags as well and 12" disk brakes. Should get it all in about 4 weeks, but wont get installed for a while. All of this just to put a Ford motor in the Camaro, damn.....When are you guys going to tell me how to get some more power out of this LS1......

Have you checked these guys out: Detroit Speed
These guys are a husband and wife engineering team that was part of GM's suspension engineeering department. They left GM and formed Detroit Speed and the rest is history.

Yeah, I have checked out Detroit speed, too much coin for my blood. Yeah, I was going to talk to you Ellis a little about some work. I also have been thinking about that KB or the Whipple for it too...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am still leaning towards the KB for this, the Whipple that they have is the 3.3 liter blower, so thats big...lol....
Anyways, I need to do a mild build while the engine is on a stand, like heads and cam and what about the oiling system and gear drive? Whats the best for this

I run a ported LS6 oil pump with a Roll Master double roller timing gear & chain. It's kind of a standard upgrade for guys like you (us). My car holds 40 psi @ idle & runs 60+ while driving. There is 0 slop in the chain & it has degreeing provisions. Is the bottom end stock?

Yeah, the bottom end is stock. What about heads, what will be good for a blower later, I might not add it right now, but I dont want to change it all again later.
