[Project] 89 Camaro RcamaroS

[RcamaroS]

Well a while back I got a limited slip diff for my car. Had it sitting in my garage for a couple weeks working on just that differential. We made sure the brake lines werent seized up and everything. Well about a week ago my Dad an I put it in. I dont have pictures of it but i go of the cars progress. Well heres some pictures. I also cleaned up the rims. I think they turned out amazing. Warning the car looks waaay cleaner in pictures than what it really is

Great work! Those wheels look completely different - I thought they were painted. lol

[RcamaroS]

nope about 2 hours of polishing per wheel.

Looking good, big difference on the wheels nice work! Now jack the car up and take them off again get under there and do some undercoating of some kind! Preserve that underside of the car and it'll make you much much happier! Car looks great tho man!

[MP81]

Wheels look great man! What a difference!

[RcamaroS]

Thank you. My dad put them on yesterday when i was at school. I came home and seen them and i said the same thing. Wow what a difference. It was kinda like a surprise for me to see in on the ground ready to go. I seen it and it kinda made me not want to drive it lol. I was in shock lol

64cc chamber so compression should be decent, intake runner has a volume of 170cc, which isn't too big and will still make torque. Intake valve is 1.94" which is ok but not huge, exhaust valve is 1.5"
But why not just swap in a 350 with a cam?

I don't see why not but if you're going to go with a different motor I would just save the money for other things, like a different motor. Or if it's really burning a hole in your wallet then go after suspension. If I could do it all over I probably would've just saved then built an iron-block 6.2L and bought a procharger.

Looks good man!! hard work goes along way and that goes to prove it

[RcamaroS]

Yea i am getting a different motor. Im getting a 350 without heads and Im gonna go a whole rebuild to it and maybe make a 383 or 388 with it. The heads arent going on the 305. Im not gonna put any more money into it than i have to. Ive planned to put a 400 or 406 in it but gas prices i wouldnt be able to afford until after school. So right now Im just building up a 350,355,383,388 with nice h/c/i

[killa89trans]

nicely planned, ya i really cant afford annything right now, cuz im payin student loans so quick little things im doing and tryin to save up money love the way the rs looks tho

[RcamaroS]

thank you. got it from a guy that stored it for a couple years and only drove it on the weekends. He had it in a 2 car garage alone with literally nothing else in it but a bike(peddle bike) and a snow blower. He wanted 3500 for it and talked him down to 2800 so pretty good deal. The guy was a pretty nice guy and i wanna find his number and get his e-mail to send pictures of how it looks and that its not getting beat on and its still on the roads. I think it would be pretty tight if someone sent me some pictures of a car i sold to them and get updates even though its not my car anymore.
