Default Another Texas Camaro Fanatic!

I have been browsing the site for quite some time and finally decided to join. This is a great forum and have resourced it many times for info! Thanks to everyone for sharing!

I own two 2nd Gen Camaros. A '72 street car, and an '80 drag car.

The '72 is currently undergoing an engine transplant. I'm dropping in a 400 SBC with SRP Pistons & Rods, Lunati Cam, Eagle Steel Crank, 671 Weiand Blower with twin Barry Grant 650's. I recently added a new set of AR Torque Thrust Wheels. I will post updated pics once car is complete. I've been working on the transformation for nearly a year and ran into **** trying to get all the pulleys to line up. I finally gave in and got some help from a professional engine builder who ended up fabbing some brackets. We should be firing her up in the next couple of weeks!

The '80 has a 355 SBC, Comp Cam, Brodix Track 1 Heads, Holley 850DP, NOS Plate System, TCI Tranny, 10 Bolt Rear End, 10.5" Slicks. Car runs mid 11's on motor, low 10's on a 100 shot. Not rotating the earth, but having the time of my life!

Thanks again, will post more pics as available.
