Dan's 97 Camaro part 2

[DanDalessandro]

I was extremely nervous that there was a chance they'd grt damaged but they were packed very well and nothing happened. These aren't my car's heads, those are still on the car lol. Got these heads for 50 bucks on Facebook.

Glad to see your heads went and came without any hiccups. Keeping an eye on this thread

[DanDalessandro]

Mah heads with my name spelled wrong lol

[DanDalessandro]

No, the opti is removed. Using the same thing that's on ls motors basically.

[zeeman]

don't you need part of the opti for the 24x?

[DanDalessandro]

Oh my eye spy an opti-spark, you did say you got 24x conversion? That was an impressive list of parts needed and to do list.

Indeed I did get a 24x conversion. I robbed the guy of the kit, couldn't pass it up. The opti is only 8 years old with roughly 15k miles on it, and it was dealer replaced. It's still going to be on the car, just not in use. I have a funny idea for it.

Also grabbed some strano springs. So original post updated.

Minor progress. Been busy. Should have the intake and timing cover off Sunday. Heads should be here Wednesday.

Took care of the muffler.

And utilized my discount and saved $100 getting fluids and cleaning supplies

Here is my cam card. Like I said, she's a small one

[DanDalessandro]

Ahhh, I see. The orange '88 Mustang that occasionally (well used to until he bought the 2011) made its way out to AE/Ducati got a Spec Stage 2 and I don't think it ever gave him an issue.

Just go all the way with a twin disc.

Yeah. Their lt1 clutches seem to be OK.

Dang...that's quite a list!

I know. It's expensive.

Very cool - since I don't know the El Tee Juans very well, what is the expectation on power?

Probably 380. I'll be lucky to break 400. It's a really small cam, similar to the cc503

Been reading up on them. Most problems seem to be with the LS spec clutches however. But with my luck, something always goes wrong. Just hate to spend 500 on a clutch and it not be great.
