For full features; Go to Finally Ordered My Cam
So Now that Im not DDing the camaro Ive actually been workign on it.
I ordered the cam springs and rockers today, went a little smaller on this
one. Actually quite a bit haha but it will run pretty darn good on the
spray.
They are ready to ship and should ship out either today or monday. Im so
pumped I just need to get it in, degree it, check PR length and order
those, order my new opti, valve seals, and figure out what im gonna do with
the water pump drive, I think Im gonna delete it so I need a SBC timing
cover and timing chain.
Here is a clip of it idleing in a car with the same setup.

the powdercoating place.

Damn, you're almost able to compete with the LS1!:asshake:
I'm just playing, my car is slow as balls and will be for quite some time.
Anyways, I want to hear less talk and see more timeslips!

You'd be surprised how good this ole LT1 runs. Ive beat quite a few
LS1s.
It dynoed 286 headers only. no tune, not intake.
She runs pretty healthy, and shes rather light for an F-body.

Yea, that's cool. Video Cameras can be alot of fun. What kind of video
camera did you get?
I also like those videos you made too and like others said the dog is sooo
funny!

I was gonna start today but I have a huge presentation for class due
tommorrow and I havent even started on it so I should probably do that.
I need to order a few more parts. Pushrods, guideplates, opti, lifters,
timing chain, and gaskets. I think thats it for now oh and some assembly
lube.
Thursday Ill probably order the lifters and timing chain and guideplates,
and go ahead and get the springs on and delete the waterpump drive as I
have an EWP.

Hey guys I got all the cooling system out and it only involved 3 coolant
baths. Still cant manage to get the block drain plug out but since a new
opti was going in I didnt bother.
Also I realized im getting spoiled. I get pissed off when I have to work on
the ground Im so used to having a lift haha.
Got the waterpump prepped for powdercoatign didnt get to drop it off
though, hopefully this weekend and maybe ill get the manifold back then. I
cant wait.
The project then kinda stalled when no local parts store had a harmonic
balance puller so I went ahead and polished the thermostat housing.
Ive finally got this polishing stuff down it came out exaclty like I like
it. Dont pay any attention to the very end though because that part will be
covered and it was so pitted I couldnt get it smooth and didnt feel like
bothering with it. I think after what Ive learned on the housing Im gonna
go back and redo the elbow since its pitted up real bad and doesnt have
near as good a finish on it.
Here are some pics.
