Title: 79 camaro z28 lifetime project
Post by: 7d9_z28 on August 17, 2010, 11:54:29 AM
Hey everyone, this sites awesome! (Kyle brought me here - Recovery One!) figured id post my car, since im in the process of getting a truck... my lifetime project, my first car ( i got it before i got my license, when i was 15) and will spend the rest of my life changing it over and over again... its a 79 camaro z28, currently has the original 350/4speed (borg warner super t-10) factory 3:73 posi rear... i have everything ive ever taken off of it, currently has a weiand stealth intake and holley 650 carb, cheap flowtech headers with purple hornies (its loud, and i love that) N50-15 tires out back on cragars. interior is shot, body needs help. have a 78 350 4bo;t main im building for it, but ultimately will have an old chevy 409 in it! Kyle bought and transported the hood (fiberglass lift off l-88 hood, $30) it all needs alot of work but thats what my whole lifes for (well, after my wife, and work, and sleep)

409's are preaty rare, only seen a hand full in running condition, expensive from what i've seen too, but if that's what you want go for it man it's your rig run what you want. the gen 2 f bodies are by far my favorite, (been wanting one for a while just haven't found one in my price range) and i know i wauldn't leave the stock drive train in there either, keep updated on what you swap out and keep the pics comming

niceness will come, but enjoy the way it is now. i could work on my car for days when i got it, now that its 'nice' everything i do cost money! (79 maro, bigblock, nitrous, lots of fiberglass)

well, i havent had anything to update, i actually forgot i had this thread..

but my 355 idea is no more, i bought a 402 BBC out of a 72 camaro that i will build for it instead.
and i need VINTAGE bbc parts (old tunnel ram, factory chevy heads like covette or older camaro perf. heads, etc)

i believe its only a 2bolt block but not too worried about that, those big blocks can throw some power down!
