Question Pro-Street 1982-1992 Camaro

Hey guys here is my plan that I am working to afford.

I want to buy a 1982-1992 Camaro and have it repainted Sundrop Green + a silver/black checkerboard side stripe, add a fiberglass hood & aggressive rear wing, rear seat delete,AC/heater delete, Sport bucket seats,8-10 point cage, light grey window tint,383-403 LQ9 stroker with an F1-A Procharger or Precision TA-5557 Turbos,tubbs/ladder bar with a narrowed S-60 & ARB Airlocker, M/T 31X16.5 ET Streets, and add a TH-200-4R or TH-400 tranny with a 2800-3200 stall convertor.

Is this a good plan?

It is the LUST for speed that makes the cold winters bareable.

Does it have a compass in the stock too?

Dude, have you even priced all that out?

Sundrop green looks WAY too much like a ricer.

It sounds like a pipe dream to me. You can find a used a pro-street on craigslist all day long. Do you know why? They are a pain in the rear to drive, very expensive to maintain, and just after a few drives, they loose a lot of fun due to abovementioned items. I have seen more than one pro-street camaro and mustang for sale here in sunny az where you can drive one 12 months of the year. People put 50K+ and are selling them for 12, even then they don't move too fast. Best of luck if that is really what you want.

I did a crate motor from proformance unlimited. It was cheaper and easier just to have them do it. If I had a lot more time on my hands I probobly would have just gotten the block prepped with the rotating assembly in, then go from there. But, I had a time crunch to get it to the body guy, so crate was way faster. It is a solid motor and I have had no problems with it. I mated it to a fresh built 700R4. I have just under 500 miles on the motor. The whole project has taken right about two years. The only thing I have left is the rear, the original open 10 bolt has 153K on it. If you have time to do it on your own, I would suggest getting the block prepped and machined and then pick and choose parts that work together well.
