Modifications

Engine: The motor was built by my dad and I. I built it for my senior project for high school. Basically it's a stock motor that's bored, a mild cam, intake, slightly higher compression pistons and carb. With that being said I dyno'd the car at school on a chassis dyno. It makes 298.2hp @ 4496rpm and 425ft.lb. of torque at 3067rpm. The torque was reading a little off on the dyno so it should be in the mid to high 300's rather then 400. But they horsepower is true.

- 350 Four Bolt Main
- Bored .030
- Comp Cam
- Comp Cam Double Roller Timing Chain
- Stock Vortec Heads W/Comp Cam Springs
- Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake
- Holley Street Avenger Carborator 670 cfm
- Polished Crank
- Federal Mogul 10.5 Compression Ratio pistons
- Speed Pro Chrome Moly Piston Rings
- Holley Electric Fuel Pump

Exhaust: The exhaust system cost $100. The headers and mufflers came with my parts car. The $100 was for routing 2-1/2 tubing from muffler to the rear. But due to my rear suspension modifications I had a friend at school cut and dump my exhaust below the rear seats right before the axle.

- Headers
- Purple Hornies
- Dual 2 1/2 Pipe That Currently Dumps Before The Axel

Suspension & Chasis: I recently spent a good amount of money overhauling my suspension in school. I plated a foot section of my rear hat channel with 1/8 steel to help add strength. I then made upper brackets for my coil overs and welded them to a piece of 1-1/4 .120 wall DOM tubing. I then welded this bar between the reinforced hat channel. I also made a bracket to mount my electric fuel pump to the bar. After that I made brackets to mount the coil overs to the axle housing. After all this I installed the coil overs and removed all the leafs but the main. The front was just installing new control arms and coil overs. I have a 3/4 the way made 1-1/4 sway bar for the front. I just need to finish it.

- Fatman Fabrication Tubular Control Arms
- QA1 Adjustable Coil Overs In The Front
- Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings In The Control Arms
- Moroso Solid Motor Mounts
- Energy Suspension Polyurethane Transmission Mount
- QA1 Coil Overs (175lb springs) In The Rear On Mono Leaf
- Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings In The Leaf Springs
- Traction Bars
- Sub Frame Conectors
- 8-Point Roll Cage
- Front Sway Bar 7/8 dia

Transmission: Transmission is a basic 350 with a shift kit. Stock torque converter and driveshaft.

- 350 3 Speed w/Shift Kit
- Hurst V-Matic 2 Shifter

Rear: My rear axle is out of a 1st Gen Camaro. It has new 3.55 gears and Mooser Axles. I did have 4.10s in the rear but they will stay out until I get a T56 Transmission.

- 12 Bolt from a 67-69 Camaro
- Posi
- 3.55 Gears
- Mooser Axles

Wheels & Tires: My rims and tires took about, well forever to save up for with a part time job. But after saving I bought Torq Thrust II's. Yea, I know, ever chevy has them but they arn't bad for at the time a 17 year old.

- American Racing Torq Thrust II's
Front: 15x7
Rear: 15x10
- Goodyear Eagle GTII
Front: P215/65R15
Size: 26x9
Rear: P275/60R15
Size: 28x12

Sound System:
There is none. No speakers, No Stereo. I don't plan on putting one in anyway because you wouldn't be
able to hear it when driving. It also is a good sum of money that I would rather spend on
performance modifications.

Interior: I have black carpet and trim with stock dark Blue vynl seats. it's a nice contrast with the black and blue considering the car is blue. I have old school metal lap belts and some accents from Classic industries like Chrome for the pedals and floor mats. Once I take trim class at school I'll make custom door panels, front seats, maybe rear seats, and re-cover my interior panels with black vynl.

- Dark Blue Front & Rear Seats
- Black Carpet & Trim
- Pedals w/ chrome (Classic Industries)
- Camaro Floor Mats (Classic Industries)
- Lap Belt
