She LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1986 Camaro + 99 LS1 from a Formula Firebird + carb conversion + open manifolds = fun.

the beginning


after the stock motor and trans was pulled.... nice lift on the front....





push button starter



switch mounting box



switches.
red - msd ignition box
blue - cooling fans
green - fuel pump
orange - alternator



fuse block



side shot of the motor



front shot


top shot









first start attempt.





idle adjust. as it turns out, Josh didnt set the fuel pressure regulator right and it was overflowing the carb. dialed it back down to 7 psi and fine tuning the idle




still got some cosmetic stuff to finish up. gotta get into the shop and fab up some brackets for the coilpacks as well as chop the throttle bracket down so we can fit the air cleaner on the car. then tuck the wires away and clean it all up. we've got a pair of cherry bomb glass packs ordered for the exhaust... straight off the stock manifolds dumping right behind the front tires. stay tuned
