Awesome. All of GM's weakpoints on the F-Body have been addressed. I plan to do the same but more of a street/track car once I get a hold of a Camaro. Long time F-Body fan but haven't owned or driven one .

Wow pretty cool man, it's not every day that you see a clean Camaro of that vintage. Liking that colour and sounds like it's gonna have a great drivetrain when you get it done.

[Triple-X08]

thanks, i hope it runs good at the strip. i want it to appear stock, on the outside so, people can pull up to me in there little rice burners, and get there ass handed to them

No, they usually dont think twice about anything!!! And then the ones you want to race (GSX's, Evo's, 350Z's, ect.) they wont give you the time of day!

on a side note, I just got the new 700r4 put into my 92 RS today! Runs really good!

Really? It just so happens I have spare tranny in a crate out of a early 90s Suburban that's only missing a few gears (who needs all 4 anyways?) I was gonna rebuild it for my truck but I'll trade ya straight across instead.

[ctaylorzl1]

^^^yeah, having all your gears in working condition is for novices! It takes a real man to drive with only 2 forward gears(and no reverse)!!!

[Triple-X08]

slap a glide in it. at least then its meant to have 2 gears
