Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
also if its a auto your gonna want a special tool for locking the flexplate or flywheel to break the crank bolt loose and tighten it. I find it best to break loose with a strong impact gun but you need to lock it to tighten it back up, a screwdriver will work but bends the flexplate pretty good. If you a six speed I think you can put the car in 5th gear for this and be just fine. Anything else just ask I've done it a few times
Impact guns work really good to get the bolts out.

haha the first time I did an auto I was like WTF how am I gonna get this bolt out. Thats when I bought the tool
I was gonna buy one on ebay a few weeks ago and my dad looked at it, then turned to me and said let me make something for ya. If he takes too long I'll be driving out to Oxford Larry.
there is a couple different kinds. some hold the balancer. I have the OTC dealer piece that holds the flexplate. I also have the front/rear cover and pan alignment stuff along with the dual spring vinci tool and two different sets of lifter holders

Jeff do you have all the tools necessary to do a cam swap? Do you feel confidant enough to get it done in one day and correctly and not F*** up my car when I decide to get one?
I'm betting I could do it in a day but like I said I've never done the springs and I hear they are a ***** so I'm sure that'll slow me a little. Yes I have most all the tools as well, I definatly have the best pulley puller ever and I will have a nice flexplate holder soon.

Oh I thought you did your springs. Well than I guess we'll have to make it a 2 day project. How long do you think it'll take to throw on the LS6 intake? And is my car gonna run like shit if I don't get it tuned right after the headers and intake?
An intake swap should take about an hour and a half at most, the car will run perfectly fine with the exhaust and intake but should be tuned to optimize the combo and of course get rid of those damn SES lights. I have my stock throttle body sitting at the shop if you wanna throw that on your car and send yours out to get ported and polished

I was planning on it when we put in the headers. If I get my tax return before we do this (I think I will) I'll get the intake and we can throw that in as well if that's cool.
