1998 Camaro Z28 NBM LS1(der what I was thinking?)

[hoogiesngrinderz]

All the LS1 stuff (pumps, mounts, etc) have been aquired. Need to decide on exhaust at this point.

Today I noticed that the passenger side rocker is smashed up in front of the rear tire Looks like somebody put a jack stand in the wrong place

I've got some freshly POR20 coated Pacesetters I'll let go for cheap

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Price?

I was thinking about these - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Firebird-BBK...#ht_2307wt_952

[c0ncEpT]

I'd let mine go for $125.

Those BBK's are a pretty good deal though.

Good deal ^^

I'd love me an nbm, brings me back to my project.

Keep this updated!!

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I pulled the trigger on the BBK's. I just want to get this thing together ASAP.


I have about one hundred dollars left in my budget, but I still have the 5.3 to sell and all the extras that came with the engines that I bought. So far it's looking like I'll stay under the $3200 mark - unless I buy the wheels I've been looking at

$65.07 for 24 bolts and 8 nuts?!?! Damn...

sorry but I had to lol a little inside when you claimed to be good and under your range without yet installing anything in the car, its the little shit that will nickle and dime ya to death. I hope the rest goes smooth and you can keep cost down.

Truth.I didn't plan on spending nearly as much I did on my car. ($6,800 and counting) and it's not nearly where I want it. Not trying to be a Debbie downer but you are going to see an exhaust you want or new suspension etc... Once you lose a race to a buddies mustang it really happens, ask me how I know.

I'm still under budget even with that price, but didn't expect that for some bolts I probably don't need flanged 10.9 zinc hardware, and I have found them cheaper elsewhere.

What I am worried about is locating OEM transmission lines and fuel lines. I'm near my budget so far but I still have the 5.3, five truck intakes, two DBW throttle bodies, exhaust manifolds, etc. to offload. I'm not worried about making this car a speed demon - I have my 'vert for that.

Just got word that all the LS1 stuff is in Greg's garage Thanks again, Greg! Now I need to arrange transport back to Lowell

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I found some OEM head gaskets and a head bolt set for the 5.3 for $90. I might put that in the Camaro and sell the 6.0... eh, tough call

[Gregs_gsxr]

did you say wheels??? You can buy my z06 wheels that would look f' sick on this camaro

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I'll keep them in mind, but I have a little trick up my sleeve for a nice wheel setup

(if I keep the car a while)
