Are you sure the engine has enough clearance around the air cleaners. Engine tend to move a lot. Even with solid motor mounts there is a lot of twist. I would want at least 1" clearance.

That is the air cleaner that is prone to catching fire with a lot of plastic around it. That is just asking for problems.

 

well its only there temp to get around town,i got the drop down offset base today waiting for the rest mabey Friday like everything else will make it fit we have the clearance in back above the cap this one should give me the one inch ,I don't plan on doing much tearing it up at all other then getting on it during that first 20 miles,till next year going to babey it ,until we build the rear I am going to get it in to him febuary for that an body supports ,Friday we are going to work on better fine tuneing the carb ,an a few other things ,when the idle is down low the engine does not shake the car as much ,thanks gorn will get there with your help,an talk about the right atlternator ,I been letting them get cought up with other work they have ,an getting the car cleaned up ,a lot of thing are temp like some of my stickers ,they last ike a year then its cluster too ,not siure what you meen about a lot of plasic around it I could actually get some flame retardant foam to use with it ,but I wantmake a paper filter work ,I want the dual kind with a drop bace then will last life of engine K&N its 250.0 an not sure wich one works ,for now I am trying to get back to my thing jewelry on ebay ,its been stressful 4 to 6 weeks since iwent in to get my ac fixed found the head gasket gone ,then within a few days I odered the engine ,it was ***** to the wall since,in comparing that one picture of one with carb ,that one the carb sits back further wich makes me think the engine does too,there over an inch like said to the fire wall ,no problem changing the cap rotor module ,I tend to kep my car so clean I only have to wash it like 4 times a year or less if I keep wax on it,an it now has a garage before that I only had the ezup to keep it out of the sun ,keep the car waxed well an all I have to do is wipe it down after rain ,or keep it home on rainy days ,its seen plenty of that ,I found nothing makes it last longer then staying away from sand roads graval ,an if I do slow ,some guys could care less how they take care of there car ,next year do for low speed buff .my car rarely has an dirt on it ,an salt not ,an some only come hear when its falling apart ,with your help gorn we are like the 3rd you said ,so I am going to celibrate I got a 1995 Camaro 406 ,I guess it a sence its not a z28 anymore ,couse what the core of a z28 the lt1,,i got a lot of plans for the car it take money though an I am at my limit right now other then the alt we deside on .looks that base will just fit on there ,one thought is the foam one has give the other want the back of the one now is bearly touching an is modified ,the modified Camaro that what they turn out to be ,those of you you who never chime in ,do it only of you know how to modifiy things an have creative mind ,I guess that one thing about the car to talk about ,how do I change the oil in it the same way easyer ,there are a lot of cons ,most everything is easy to work on ,guys that do nothing but read an don't chime in , don't try it ,thanks guys

 

Just curious, but since you went this far into it, why didn't you buy a set of headers and put them on before the engine was installed? I can't see that car sounding or breathing as well as it would with a set of long tubes or even shorties.

 

This. All that money in engine bling like the valve cover "bolt" things and stock manifolds? I can't see a 406 breathing very well with that small carb or that air cleaner under there

 

its ok for now ,why don't you all try it then you will know ,how about reading the thread the engine came with the chrome valve covers ,read the thread an see my plans for headers ,you all must drive your cars year round I live in NH wear it goes away for 4 to 5 month per year time,could have spent alot more ,wear do you all get you parts so cheap ,all this talk about how much I spent ,it is what is is ,at least its new an not used ,an only I have one that worth anything to me ,in 10 years will talk about the busting my chops ,when people take about how rare it is,i am going with a nice set of headers getting rid of the cat ,straight pipes can be ran hear .like why would I reuse my oil pan ,the engine was not the exspencive part it was the labor the carb is does not need anything bigger then the 600,mabey you should look into how carbed cars run ,I don't need a 750, its 4 barrel AN THATS WHY MOST GUYS NEVER COMPLETE THESE BUILDS BOOTOM LINE,an I don't plan or raceing my car ,car shows next uyear is why I care what it looks like to most it shows pride,an it sounds like hear some are so discouraged bye the help they got ,they don't do it based on that ,if it was not for guys like gorn an Camaro 69,mabey this site needs to look at how they incourage people who are doing this It could help a lot ,like saying it won happen over night ,its a work in progress,but to ask instead of suggest is rude ,I admitted my wrongs early on ,this site need to more encourage people not put them down for how much the spent more then they wanted to ,I bet some guys got to the point I am at with a lot ore hours an it still siting there not running ,an there afraid to come hear couse some guy is going to shoot them down,an saying hey looks good for now,i have gone around telling guys there cars look great ,this site does not have enough of that is it a click ,everytime some guy said it could not be done well proved few wrong how about compashion an telling a guy he doing well I would if I seen one but I don't see another like this on this site

 

I'm not jealous and I never said the car wasn't nice, because it's cool to see someone actually finish one, just don't see the point in doing all the work if you weren't going to go all the way with headers too. The stock LT manifolds just don't tie in with the theme of the car. I never brought up money either. I was just asking why go this far with all the work and not finish it with the part that's gonna really let the engine breath?

Not seeing how were any of a us live has to do with anything. But okay. FYI, I live in PA. My car goes away during the winters now, so I don't get to drive her all year round.

Also, I'm going to bust your chops on this one, but the car won't ever be rare. It's not original. It wasn't factory produced that way. The value of the car went down the second you swapped engines.

 

Lmao, what "value" would that be? These are cheap cars, especially one with a bad engine. And a stock 95 with miles on it will never be a money making investment.
If anybody thinks he "ruined" the car, try parking his next to a (yawn) stock one at a show and see which one draws more of a crowd. I do agree with one thing previously said though, those mile high valve cover bolts need to go.
95 Camaro 406, I understand you are doing things in phases, and covering what fits into your budget at the time. So far, I'd have to say nice job, the engine swap looks great. I like the old school look, and there's something about having an engine in a compartment that doesn't require the use of a shoe horn to get in there to work on it.

 

its not an investment its only worth anything to me.but you never know when I guy want a car wheare I live shops like counting cars are not hear an if you go torward the bigger city the more you would pay ,as for the headers like said I started at $5000.00 budget an its over 8000.00 now will include the headers an the reanend rebuilt to the link craby posted,a set of 400,00 headers was not in the budget ,it wont take that much to pull them out in the spring a good set of pacemakers with ceramic cost,then if I can have them recoated as well ,camaro69 your help has been valuable,you an gown hit on the biggest thing that helped craby mc ,alot was what the mechs did not think they would run into
