Hey guys, im considering buying a 95 camaro from a guy and had a question about it. Like I said its a 95 lt1, automatic with the following known mods.. quoting his email

"rebuilt 11k ago it is a lt1 350 with a 4l60e trans has a bbk 58mm twin throttle body pace setter headers some internal work trans has a b and m 2500 stall converter corvette servo 13 vane front pump with .500 boost valve"

My questions revolve around the transmission and stall converter. I was hoping someone could explain the 13 vane front pump and what .500 boost valve means. Also with the 2500 stall will it still be alright as a daily driver or is it to much? And last how will this effect the mpg?

Thanks guys

 

that's not what my first question would be. my first question would be "what does 'some internal work' mean?"

a 2500 stall would be fine for daily driving and it won't effect gas mileage too negatively

 

boost valve is for low/reverse and with a bigger (13vane) pump and vette servo you need a larger boost valve. 2000 stall would be better for street but like whammer says 2500 should have a minamal effect on mpg. and yah whats in the motor to justify a 58mm tb?

 

Im wondering the same thing, but that's all the guy said. Im guessing either he didn't build it so he does not know or he is hoping some kid will hear the exhaust and he will be able to bluff them. I've owned a few Lt1s before and a whole mess of 350s, he wont be able to bs me about the motor. It seems fishy he knows that many details about the tranny but said nothing about the motor.

 

The guy finally answered me about internal work. Again quoting him "The guy I bought it from had it rebuilt 20 over proted manifold larger valves" he also said its stock camshaft.

 

i'd steer clear of this car. dude obviously has no clue what he's talking about. so either you talk him down a lot on the price or i'd pass

 

Ya kinda getting that vibe. He's about 3hrs away from me, im not sure it worth the drive. He wants to trade straight up for my 95 yukon. I've been trying to convince my wife into getting a camaro and she finally said yes. Id like to jump on it before she changes her mind lol.
