Put the motor in the Camino
I just set the motor on the mounts. Long way to go. But I can't wait for the spring. Goin' from having nothing on the road this past summer to having two on the road next spring I'm just thrilled. So now I've got my drag car and my street muscle car.
And I got it in myself without putting a scratch on it. Not on the paint or the chrome/polished metal. I'm excited because unlike the Talon I know I could get this running in a matter of a few days if I really want to. So I'm going to take my time and make it run and look tip top for the spring. 490-500hp is plenty to have fun with in an 84' G-body. So now I'm going to try to make it look as close to factory condition as possible for the time being. Any real body work will be done next year.

Re: Put the motor in the Camino
why is that? The headers arent on all the way. I really was just making sure the slip on portion that kicks out around the chassis was going to fit without any clearance issues. I've had these type of headers before on a Cutless (G-body) and I ran into a small clearance issue that had to be corrected. They were'nt cheap. Hooker long headers with a ceramic thermal coating on top of stainless tubing so I was praying they fit without issue.
