Project round two: 1992 Chevy Camaro

[Darren]

Any updates?

Unfortunately not Been working hardcore on my garage in preparation of a few things and additions. I am pretty much in the acquiring parts stage and with a wife who doesnt enjoy nor understand the car hobby its quite hard. I have established a "Car Fund" and once there is enough money in the jar to buy the next part I do so.


I am saving right now to get my heads rebuilt and then I need to pick out a Cam, Jon and I have discussed this for many nights and I am thinking about ordering this cam http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-12-246-3 but am open to suggestions as well. After that I need a carb, these three things are my major purchases for the car that I have left.

The engine bay is all torn down with the exception of the brake booster, need to drain the fluid and get that off and then start sanding and prepping it for paint. Maybe will have it primed sometime soon and then painted once winter is over...

Ooooo cam talk. Another subject I enjoy!

Depending on how well the heads flow, that may be a bit much duration but overall I like the numbers on that cam. Those are aggressive lobes so be sure to get good springs, make sure the person doing your heads gets all the seat pressure/install height/coil bind set right.

What year is the block?

I do have a couple Holley carbs on the shelf

Mid to late 80's on the block believed to be out of a truck if that matters. The heads are 67-69 double hump "camel heads" dont know much about them but was told they are good heads to have redone and to use. Going with 2.02 valves, etc. Springs not sure on yet. Remember this is a budget build, I am not looking for a HP monster I would be happy with 330-350 HP at the wheels...

You wouldnt happen to have something in the 650 range now would ya?

dont think its a roller block mikey so pre 88 truck

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Ok, so probably not set up for roller cam.

291 or 462 heads? Or did you get really lucky and find some 461X's?

Roller block fyi

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Any reason you're going to tappet?

It is a roller block

Roller block fyi

what this guy said

Any reason you're going to tappet?

That is what is in it now, cost for one reason and because everything I have is set for that ATM. The block also doesnt have the valley cover or retainer whatever its called (jon knows what I mean).

Do you have a set of new tappets? Those are not to be reused on a new cam if you didn't know. You can get the hardware to run rollers for fairly cheap, and rollers can be reused from cam to cam.

Tappet cam kits are pretty cheap though

not setup for roller currently as you dont have the lifter plate on

doesnt make it a non roller block tho.

[TylerT/AZ28]

true but youll need roller lifters, that guide plate the gides for the lifters and all that if your going to do a roller setup.

exactly, post something I dont know. Thats why I linked to a flat tappet cam did I not? Not that finding a guide plate would be all that hard, or even getting roller lifters. I was keeping it simple and using as much of the parts that I already have as possible, I already have new lifters for a flat tappet cam on the shelf.

Let me know if you need help with the engine bay. Or wanna borrow my nice clear gun for the engine bay!!

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Forgot to mention that the carbs I do have are 600 and 650 I think (might be a 600, forgot the exact model number)

The one is a bit different, and I have a rebuild kit for it as well. Looks like this:
23288d1344859891-need-help-identifying-carburetor-holley-4010_5-750-double-pumper.jpg

Edit: I do know it's a 4010/4011 style that was discontinued in 98. 99% sure it isn't the 750cfm model. It has the main body (integrated bowls) and a top plate, not the front and rear bowls like most Holley carbs. The other one is a 4160 I believe, 600cfm. Unless I put that one on the 69 Chevelle and this one is a different cfm

Too many carbs around here...I hate 'em!
