Interior:
stock so far

Exterior:
Lifted 1-2 inches in back
replaced hood shocks and the hatch shocks.
new studded snow tires for winter (so i can actually grip the road)

Engine:
Fully Rebuilt Chevy 350 from a 1978 z28 Camaro (the 350 was not an option in '82 so there was a lot of modification done to have an engine this big fit in this car)
Bored out .030 over to technically make it a 355
New pistons, rods, rockers, lifters, and medium cam.
New alternator, power steering pump, distributor and coil, timing chain, spark plugs and wires
New 650 Edlebrock 4 brl Carb, air filter, fuel pump, and oil filter.
New motor mounts, AC delete, battery, radiator and fan shroud.
Rebuilt transmission, custom tranny mount.
Fully custom 3" dual exhaust with no Cat and soon to have no mufflers (the guy who welded them for me wouldnt do it without the mufflers)

here are some more pics that detail the full 2.8L v6 swap to 5.7L v8. TONS of work and took MONTHS:

Did anyone else notice the white CRX in the background?!?!?!

[ben_cb7]

haha yeah that is my neighbors. its an SI too. he used to paint cars so now he paints it once a year. that car always looks great.

Sick camero man!! It looks like it has came a long ways. Im a big Chevy fan. I need to get my pics up of my rides. I am working on my 1969 Nova right now. I am doing something completly different than most people would do. I am building up the stock inline 6 that is in it right now. Split headers, flowmasters, fuel injection, and whatever else needs to be done......and someday a supercharger.

[LimeEM2]

sick looking Z28! Had a 91, only had the 6 in it and was auto but it was still fun to drive. then my dad sold it lol

[ben_cb7]

yeah i know its a tuner site. thats why i have the cb7 on here. i was mostly just being sarcastic......mostly. and thanks i love this car. wish i got to drive it more often

[MetaEnder]

Nice car, looks like you've been doing a lot of work on it, and have some plans for the future. Good luck with that.

Nudge your neighbor into painting your cars. I would. :)

[ben_cb7]

your right i totally should......both my cars need it pretty bad

[MetaEnder]

Every car likes new paint.

Unfortunately that's not an option for me right now. ($$$)

[JDM As FUCK EK]

Nice ! i love the camaro.

ya i saw the crx too, first thing i saw, its clean as hell.

[ben_cb7]

im sure my domestic is more of a tuner than your echo. and technically tuner isnt just imports, its mostly fuel injected cars that can be tuned

[ben_cb7]

well thanks dude but that doesnt help my cause much in the whole tuner thing because mine is naturally aspirated or however u spell that, its not fuel injected!!

[JetBlack]

LOL! Fuel injected is not the same as FI, which is "forced induction" AKA boosted.

Fuel injection just uses nozzles intead of magic (or whatever makes carbs work), to mix air and fuel, before your engine sucks it in.
