Project : Brownbullhead
Well, after a long break I am back in an fbody. Just made a deal on a 2001 Z28 M6 with 145,000km one owner car, finished in Pewter.
Car is getting a Cammed 6.0L as it's currently motor less, guy bought it for motor and trans and sold my friend that owns a shop it as a roller, will be a fun build and will update this as I can.
Should have car on the road in June.

Re: Project : F01
Scored all of these from a buddy that recently sold his 2002 35th Camaro. Have the lenses off to clean and reseal in this pic.

Re: Project : F01

Re: Project : F01
Haven't been on here in a long time. Car looks good Bob. You get the LS1/T56 from Vetty? The T56's are getting harder to find.

Re: The Chophouse
Thanks guys, no got it through my buddy building it, he's building a road race car so we got the drive line from that vehicle. Cam is coming from Da Silva Motorsports in Breslau, don't have specs in front of me, will post when I do. I spent some good time trying to find a T56, glad when the complete pullout came avail.
Should be running this weekend, work the bugs out of it and get tune dialed in, then she will be out.
I've PMed you a question Players.

Re: Project : Chophouse
Went by to see the old girl tonight. All gaskets came in, heads are out at machine shop and cam/valve train is there. Should be in a running this weekend and hopefully on road early next week. Also cleaned the intake, eventually it'll get LS6 or a FAST.
