the car is now done(for now), I just took it to the track here in the natural state. Of course there are no 1/4 mile tracks, but 1000 ft is the next best thing. The car went 11.50 @ 91 MPH, which should be good for a mid to high 13 second 1/4. Next year will bring more mods for the motor/drivetrain. Future plans are, a blow-thru turbo set-up, and higher stall converter.
car has the following mods:
1981 camaro Z28 subframe, rearend, brake system with drilled/slotted rotors, stainless steele brake hoses. 3.73 posi rearend, all new everything on the chassis, including drop spindles. The motor is a late-model LT-1, rebuilt by myself. It has new GM aluminum heads, LT-4 hotcam, GM performance products carb manifold, BTE 1.6 roller rockers, roller lifters, 10.5:1 compression, etc....Tranny is a 700R4 with a corvette stall, servo, governor and shift-kit. The body has been blasted down to the bare metal and modified a little, the rear fenders have been welded on and smoothed in, the beltline bodyline has been filled, all 87lbs of chrome has been removed. New firewall fabricated, as well as a new dash panel, filled cowl vent, wiper mounts, etc. The steering column is from a chevy van, with automatic overdrive shift lever. All new wiring, gauges, heat and air, everything is new or rebuilt on this car.
