Does anybody have some lead I can follow I'm trying to put together what it will cost to get the motor, tranny, and rear end\wheels tires into a working order so I can start saving for it.

Details on the IROC
350TPI(OEM save with auto which was swapped) with T-5 Manual
Straight body as far as I can tell
Will be installing a LS-2 with Kenne Bell 2.8 Compitition blower as aspiration with FAST System Management

Goal is:
920 Ft Lbs of Torque as limiting clutch factor with whatever Horse can be developed without frying the clutch system which is dual.
Mount and have smoothe daily driven performance greater than Corvette on street legal 91-94 Octane gas low boost.
Wheels will be retro fitted with 20 Inch Performance rims\tires with stock bolt pattern, and 02 SS styled 14in brakes with quad pistons

Compition at home:
My 89 GT with Modular 5.4 or Modular 5.0 depending on what the Camaro will support. Will feature matching performance.

Both my cars are under a 45k budget I'm putting together now expect to be completed progressively part by part sometime towards 2012 will be completed. What concerns me is I can't find the parts to put together the Camaro, it really would be upsetting to not be able to compete against my own Mustang which I have already figured out everything.

At the moment the IROC runs strong, minor brake and radiator issues, but expect to maintain good form. Body will be updated with new kit to improve aero, Cowl or Ram Air Hood is available to support extra room in engine bay, not an issue.

Need:
T-56 Swap kit to LS-2 on F-body
LS-2 Mounts for motor
Chassis and suspension of any kind to support a daily driver slash super drag racer

What I have covered
Rear end- 12 Bolt with Limited slip and 33 Spline axles all taken care of know what to do.

Thanks to anybody that can help me move foreword with the project!

 

A T56 and a 12 bolt will hold together at 900 plus Ft\lbs of torque?My information is a bit dated but I used to setup rears for people and we used to use about 550 Ft/ln max on the old 12 bolts. Anything more we went aftermarket. I can not imagine you would be able to use any parts that came from any mass produced car that could handle that. I have seen the old 9" Ford rear ends blow a part at 600 Ft/lb.

 

900 + FT-LB of torque, may want to look into getting a Lenco planetary gear box.

I do want to clairify whyI ask the question. Back in the 80's I worked onand built a few race cars. One of the cars was owned by theChevy dealer I worked for. Compaired to the other cars I worked on this was the real deal. She dyno tested about 585 HP at 7200 rpms. It was asmall block350 with a 400 crank. If I remember correct the peak torque was around 550.I used to think it was funny cause it was a chevy dealer car but from the nut that held on the air cleaner to the lug nuts that held on the rear wheels nothing and I meannothing came from a chevy factory. Sure the bolt patterns where the same, basic block size, motor mount location all to chevy spec but not a single bolt was from chevy. The owner used to say even if they did make something that was strong enough he would not use it.All the bolts he used where grade 8 or better even thing like washer he would buy them made out of 4140. Thatwould be almost 10 times the cost of a cheap CRS washer.The only casting on the car was the engine block (none GM casting) everything else was billet. He had the block xrayed for defects.

I am not saying this was all the only way to do it but yousee why I would be surprise at someone building a engine with nearly twice the torque ofthat monster talking about anything from the GM factory.

 

The T-56 will have Zoom D2 Factor 2 Clutch, built by Amp the T-56 is a G-Force Viper Elite, and the 12 Bolt is a custom Moser built rear end, not a knock off in the junkyard.

I know it's not ganna take it, that's why I've enlisted builders for the Engine and Rear End. I'm also looking at reinforcing the frame\chassis, due to the fact I expect it to experience anywhere from 2 to five times the usual force it could undergo stock...

 

I found some of the stuff at youngsfbody thanks!
