Welcome to my camaro page, I have switched some things around and added some more up to date photos. Thanks for looking, enjoy!
I bought the car in August of 2004 without the 2.8l running for $900.

I spent a couple hundred getting it going and then acquired a late model 350c.i. small block out of a 1994 GMC 1/2 ton. I stripped the engine down and discovered that it was in relatively good shape aside from the spun rod bearing on the no. 8 cylinder due to a coolant leak. I sent the block to the local machine shop and had them hot tank it, cylinder hone it and install the cam bearings. I reused the connecting rods and block, everything else is new. It has a reground cast crank with new OE dish pistons rated for 8.75:1 compression however the heads are cast iron units robbed from 1997 305c.i. that happen to have a 60cc chambers which now works out to a nice 9:1 ratio.
It's been a long process with more to come because I just can't seem to leave this thing alone.

I stripped the wheels and painted and polished. I also put on all new brakes and brake lines from the master cylinder.
The differential! Nothing special, just stock V6 gears. I added polyurethane bushings and links to the sway bar. I've been told that this rearend may be equipped with a 3.73:1 gear ratio, but I haven't really looked into that yet. Its an open diff so it isn't all that good for doing smokey burnouts with both tires. Oh well, I'll go through the rear at a later date.
I had to add a scoop of some sort to clear the engine, seeing that the hood use to hit the carb when the air cleaner was off. I adhered the scoop using urethane adhesive then filled in with body filler. Yes I realize that this is not the best quality route but it was inexpensive and effectively gave me the clearance I needed, I just could't justify letting the air cleaner poke out through an open hole in the hood. Not quite my style.

These are just some random pics I took a couple years ago.



You may notice that I switched around my pulley setup because of the rotation of the waterpump.
