Project Cleaning the Clutter in Our Engine Bay - Page 108 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have heard of people being afraid to drive their car, but I would be scared to even fire up this motor. Nathan, it is looking awesome, can't wait to see it all assembled.

Looks great, but I'd not want to drive it in fear of getting it dirty, dirty hell, I'd be pissed if some little crumb grabber put his little peanut butter and jelly finger prints on it. Love the colors. I think I just used the same color.

Hey Doc, thanks man, means a lot, I appreciate it. Your Camaro has been one of my favorite builds here and I've used it as a bench mark for how I want to do mine.

LOL Inferno, you are not alone, I'm the running joke for all the local shops I've dealt with here. The lines goes something like this, "Hey, listen to this, Nathan has torn apart a brand new Camaro, Hey Nathan how many miles does it have again, hehehe, this guys crazy!"

Thanks again for making the the moral booster!

Your going to need a full tilt front clip to rotate the front body work out of the way, to fully expose your engine art !!!

I don't know why I keep getting the credit/blame for this.

Looking amazing Nathan!
I just don't know how you are going to bolt that ugly propeller shaft to the back of that transmission!

Round-and-round he goes...where Nathan stops...nobody knows! Seriously...that trans looks amazing. Too bad only you will see it.

Had a little bit of a snag, the small end of the Lunati rods were to big for the the amount of clearance needed, so I had to take them to get mild .050 on each side before we could assemble the short block.
