The 3rd gen camaros are my 2nd favorite car. The first favorite Is the 68-69 camaros. It might be a little boring at first cause I'm trying to collect parts

The 5.3 swap is getting put on hold for awhile. I'm just getting her running good and ready for spring so I can park the blazer and start the SFA swap. I got her start tonight but the timing is off and the carb needs tuned. I'm thinking of putting a bigger can in it. Any suggestions for can and torque converter? I'm also swapping in a turbo 400. I hate the 700r4s. Mines already junk only 1st and reverse.

I haven't done much to the z28. been waiting for better weather. I've decided not to swap the 5.3 in. I'm going to keep it stock.

So new plans

86+ z28 front bumper
Hid or led headlights (need to do more research)
4th gen camaro rear end
Ls1 or corvette front brakes
Repaint (not sure on color)
Ram air hood
Zo6 wheels
Firebird taillights
4th camaro seats recovered
Double din touchscreen
Tint
Rebuild the 406 and 700r4
