BUILD THREAD Project long time coming

[Streetbu]

I'n currently running a used Napa clutch... LOL I bought a LUK replacement clutch for it already. The LUK is much better than a Napa one, but still not as good as some of the performance clutches. Ideally I'll be pulling the engine and trans in a year or two and replacing them with an LS and a six speed so I don't want to dump too much $ into them now. We shall see

So I haven't updated this thread in quite awhile. Been too busy working on the house to worry about anything with the car. It still needs a clutch as it slips with anything more than half throttle. So just to make my life a little easier, I'm selling it....













LMAO, no way in hell! Instead I stumbled across this and it followed me home this this morning. 😀 I must be a glutton for punishment. Somehow I even convinced my.wife to go with me to pick it up. She is a saint for putting up with my shenanigans!

Patiently waiting for updates... 😉

Well with building a house I haven't made it far. I stripped it down this far, rotated it over, smooth as a baby's bottom. Plugs were originals and in decent shape given the mileage. Little oil build up on a couple but that's a common issue with the pcv system and revised valve covers. Making some brackets now just to make a stand for it to sit on and throw a garbage bag over it until I'm ready to move forward with it. I have been doing more research as to cams, springs, which EFI system, oil pan, accessory drive etc I want to use. No final decisions have been made but I have a few ideas floating around in my head 😀 Here is it's current state and will be for several months until the house is done.

Stumbled across a Camaro power steering pump and bracket on FB marketplace. Picked it up this morning for $40.

That's a good deal man!

I know, that's why I hopped right on it! Had to drive 45 minutes one way to get it but still worth it.

45 is nothing; I do it twice a day for work. My average parts run is 2hrs.

My commute to work is around 40 mins. Little less if I speed, lot more if the weather is crappy because of non-driving idiots on all season tires 🤬

Another piece of the puzzle made it's way home. 🙂 LS1 Camaro balancer
