IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro New Motor from Port City Machine from Oswego, NY. Fully Blown, Blue Printed & balanced and ready to go. This beast contains everything on a new world block from the 4340 crank, H-Rods, JE Pistons, Crower Cam, and AFR Heads, 60lb injectors and a Rattler Harmonic balancer. I opted to use a timing belt over a gear drive or a double roller and chain. Finally had an experienced builder do it right the 1st time. Ordered the 4" exhaust from Mufflex with Spin-tech exhaust today. Full Cost of what you see on the right exceeds $10,000 as of now. And no chrome doesn't make it go faster but it sure looks good.  

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro This is another picture of the back of the new motor. I found a few gliches trying to get the right flywheel. It is alot harder to find an internally balanced flexplate than I initially thought. The new valve covers had to be taller so I could install valve girdles to ensure the valve an main girdles wouldn't bind. The new custom built TPIS miniram was returned from Jetcoating with the red power coat.  

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet CamaroThese are the new heads. They are from AIR FLOW RESEARCH. They are 210 75cc CNC heads. I had them bench flowed once they arrived to ensure they were 100% ready to install. Had to ensure the dual valve springs were compatible to use with the crower blower cam.  

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro This is a 58mm throttle body from BBK. You can see the Red 10,000 R.P.M. Nitrous Plate between the Throttle Body and the Intake Plenum. This took a little modification of the throttle plate and TV Cable. I added the TPIS throttle body plate for appearance. 

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro At 1st I didn't know if I wanted to get a S/C or turbo. I couldn't make up my mind between the DS1C procharger or Vortech. I heard about bad things about Paxton's having bearing issues.  After 2 months of pro's and con's, I went with the Vortech S/C because procharger wouldn't revamp it to ensure I would get 18+ lbs of boost. I had the Vortech send this to me once they reworked it.  I was told I could just change the pulley's but I was already informed that I would shred the S/C and at $3600 a piece. NO THANKS!!! Now I am already running more than 18 lbs of boost. When will this sickness stop!!!! 

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro I need to get all the (N2O) Nitrous Oxide Solenoids checked 1 last time before installation. I have been asked why I haven't bought new ZEX solenoids, I figured as long as they still look decent and work, What's the sense?  

IBM-Tech's 1987 Chevrolet Camaro I modified the Transmission lines and put -6 an lines all the way to the transmission. This has a real clean appearance and gets rid of the old nasty steel lines. And Stopped my mysterious transmission line leak.
