New guy from Midland

[yfz450]

New to the site but not camaro's.

I have owned all 3rd gen's - 1983 Z-28 305HO, 1989 RS 305TBI, 1986 Z-28 w/ 454, and currently a 1983 Z-28 with a midly built 355.

My old man also has a 1968 Camaro with a buit 327.

Oh yeah, I also owned a 1979 Z-28 for about a month.

I guess I'm kind of addicted to camaro's - specifically 3rd gens but would love to have a 1979 Z-28 to add to the stable.

You've probably seen a link to my car posted here by a fellow member - needed a cam and lifters at the time. Well to make a long story short, don't go to "Smith Performance Engines and Heads" in Southern Indiana for work. He totally screwed up my ported heads to the point where there was so much pressure in the valve springs that I was wiping lopes off my camshafts. Problem is fixed now and the car is running again.

PS - I could use a spare 700r4 transmission for a 3rd gen camaro if anyone has one sitting around collecting dust. Or I would also consider a freshly rebuilt one.

Welcome to the site, Dan! Glad to see another enthusiast on the site! Quite a nice history of cars you've had! I'm still on my first one, a 1994 Camaro, but I've vowed to always own ATLEAST one FBody for the rest of my life, hopefully by the time I hit that midlife crisis I'll be able to own a nice first gen. Anyway, like Ben and Jasen have said, check out The Pit... stickied towards the top of The Pit forum is our 2nd Annual Meet & Greet thread, it'd be great to see you out there, and a great way for you to meet all of us in person, most of us hang out Wednesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays in the Detroit area, or Thursdays (correct me of I'm wrong, Jasen?) for Grand Rapids area people.

Hasn't been much in GR happening on weeknights. Up till now mostly been on saturday nights. However with the weather getting better and events opening up and happening at places and with the WMCC members involved I not only expect the Saturday night meets to expand (which I think we are doing 2 spots starting this weekend) I also expect the weeknights to pick up, I think thursday is a possibility. Just an FYI.
