93 Camaro Build thread *LOTS OF PICS*
15 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone, I thought I might share the build of my car, starting from day 1.
So we begin with the day I bought the car. (Wheels I had laying around) Attachment 33809 And I always service cars I just bought. Attachment 33810 I thought it sat too high, so I bought lowering springs and some new shocks. Attachment 33811 Attachment 33812 All put together, with new rotors and calipers. Attachment 33813 And then I realized that 2.73's and drum brakes suck, so I went out and found a rear out of a 99 SS. (3.42's and discs) Attachment 33814 I also got a 1 pc. aluminum driveshaft from the same car. (spent around 300 for rear and driveshaft) The rear: Attachment 33815 All sanded and ready to be painted. Attachment 33814 Going into the car. Attachment 33817 In! Attachment 33818 Then shortly after, the odometer rolls 200k :icon_shrug: Attachment 33819 And I throw a rod bearing :icon_doh: So I decide to go all out with the rebuild of the car. First thing was to disassemble my car. Attachment 33820 Attachment 33821 Attachment 33822 Then I pulled the motor out of the top :icon_no: Shoulda done it from the bottom :icon_doh: Attachment 33823 |

Motors out!
Attachment 33800 Yep, thats 200k miles for you. Attachment 33801 So I found this donor motor with only 40k miles on it Attachment 33802 Ordered some pacesetter headers from herron performance, they look great! Attachment 33803 I sent the motor to a machine shop to be built. In the parts cleaner: Attachment 33804 Heads are all nice and clean. Attachment 33805 Motor bored 20 over. Attachment 33806 While at carlisle, I picked up some LCA's, Strut tower, and torque arm from UMI, and a single adj. panhard from lakewood. Attachment 33807 And while I was walking the fairgrounds, I saw this badboy. Attachment 33808 Yep, a vortech supercharged 3.4l v6. I talked to the guy and had a long discussion on how he did it, and I am inspired to reproduce his creation. I have a lot more detailed pics but I'm going to keep those to my self. Stay tuned for more updates :) |
i want a supercharger

I think I would have just bought a 3.8L instead, the 3.4Ls are not worth putting much $ into, IMHO. But good work, don't mean to degrade what you did for your ride.

Nice job. I am a little suprised the 40K donor need bored. These block have a fair amount of nickel in them and tend not to show to much wear until 100K or so.
Good luck,,, |
