hey guys just wanted to introduce myself and my car.

i just picked her up a few days ago.

I had a 2003 mustang GT with procharger putting down just under 500whp and over 500wtq which i traded straight up for the camaro.

The car has a built up Chevy 400 in it with a powerglide.

The only problem needing addressing is the car needs a new MSD box since the old one burnt out, but other than that shes a beaut!

heres some pictures for you guys.

Nice, and welcome. The picture effects give the car a different "artsy fartsy" look.

 

welcome to the forums fellow 68 owner! very nice 68 camaro you got.

 

Welcome, I to and a new member here with a 68

 

Hi madmike90, the 68 looks nice.

 

thanks for the compliments guys, ill post up some pics of other aspects of the car as well if you're interested.

also, i hate to create a totally seperate thread for such a trivial question but...

the car has the small block 400 in it with a full rebuild with a forged rotating assembly, milled heads and mild cam, headers, street dominator intake and edelbrock carb with an msd ignition setup. whats a ballpark power figure estimate on this setup?

im very familiar with engine building as i build olds and pontiac 455s, just not so familiar with the capabilities of this engine and setup.


thanks guys

the 400ci motor is more of a torquer motor than a high horsepower motor. what heads are they? are they gm heads or aftermarket? thats the biggest thing that make horsepower on a small block chevy is how good it can breathe in the heads

 

they appear to be gm heads, i know they were milled but im not sure if any porting was done.

 

i would take a stab at 400 hp maybe 425ish depending on the timing

 

welcome to both new 1st gen members. great camaro Mike!
