About to start a build on the 92 Camaro i bought not too long ago. I picked up a 880 vortec engine from a rear ended 97 silverado. It's a 2 bolt, but i'm not interested on going butt crazy on it. I'm presently tearing it down.
Just ordered a few parts for a rebuild. Someone told me to up to a 383, but dont have another grand for a new balanced rotating assembly, so i'm just going to treat the bottom with a hot tank tx, new bearings, rings, connectors. It will be a carb conversion (750cfm), some minor head work (tougher springs and 1.6 rockers for the vortecs), still thinking about what cam.
Got a full suspension setup, but havent had time to install it. Brakes will be LS1. Transmission will be upgraded to a built 700r4 with 2400-2800 stall, but haven't got the funds yet. Rear end will be a 9" with 3.42 gears... presently have a complete LS1 rear from a 02 ss with 3.42, but i've heard horror stories on them.
Wife is pissed, but hahaha! I'm still doing it! I'll have pics soon
