Just was looking for a new stuff on the internet for my car and ran across this. my name is tyson and im from scottsbluff, ne. and i am just turning 20. i have had a 1974 camaro since i was 17 and i have been trying to get it fixed up cuz i have to represent chevrolet right. when i first bought the car it would max out at 45 mph. oh ya tons of speed. but i was able to get her running right. then my motor gave out on me on my way to church so i have now purchased a 97 350 vortec and am turning that to carbrated. just finished buying all new parts for the internals. it now has a 496 intack and 510 exhaust cam. dont remember if thats exact numbers think it is to early for me to think. but just got the motor put in yesterday. it used to have a 350 transmission not sure hwere it came from but it had a 9 inch tail so i think it was out of a truck. but now replaced that with a 350 bulletproof with a 6 inch tail. just about to put that in. and then all i will need is a driveshaft that will have to be lengthened to fit. and im not sure on how to measure that up i thinki just need to take it somewhere and have them make it 3 inches longer if u know some good sites or u know the original specs on the 74 drive line let me know. glad to be a part of the chevy love.

 

Welcome. Post some pics when you get a chance. www.classicindustries.com would be a good place to start for parts that are hard to find.

 

as soon as i figure out what i am doing i will get some pics of the car and motor

 

Welcome to the forum,can't wait for the pics of your ride. great to have another 74 here. would love to tell you the specs but the only thing left from 74 on mine is the body and interrior.

 

just thought i would go ahead and figure everything out and here should be some pics of the car and the motor as it is the work in progress.

 

Nice lookin ride. I had the same rims on mine when I got it. and have the same brand rear tire. just don't put the hege fuzzy dice on the mirror.

 

haha. im not much of a fuzzy dice man. those pictures were taken a while back. i wasnt able to take the pictures of my car with the new motor in it today. but i will get those posted soon enough

Yea! 2nd Gen rule! Nice wheels. those are the same ones I have on my car. Only untill I get my cragers that is

Sweet ride man

 

ya when i first bought the car it has these fugly old orange rims/ just made it look horrible so i went wit these cuz they look desent for now till yes i get some cragers. but first off have to work on the motor to get it out and running before i can even think about getting those.
