Default NEW GUY

Hi.
Been visiting the site for a while now, mostly looking thru the 2nd gen tech forum. Lot's of folks asking the same questions I have...so has been very helpful. Thought I should go ahead and registor.

Me: 19 year Navy vet stationed in Oklahoma City.

Car: 1977 LT. Second owner car, mostly stock with 92K miles. Drove it that way for about 3 years although didn't put many miles on it as I was deployed for over half that time. Now have it tore down for drive train upgrade along with other misc. projects. I'm calling it phase-I of what I'm sure will be a lifetime project! Here's what's going in:

355 Pace Blueprint short blockwith a Edelbrock RPM Performer Top End Kit (heads, intake, cam)
Holley 770 Street Avenger
Crane roller rockers
Dynatech 1 3/4ceramic coated headers
Moroso pan & pump
GMPP serpentine kit
Mallory HEI Dist.

Freshened the Muncie 4-speed (M-21)
Center force clutch, press. plate, T/O bearing, etc.

Vintage Air A/C unit
New dash pad
Covan Classic inst. panel with Auto meter sport comp gauges
New carpet

Don't even ask how much $$$ and hours I've got into it. Should have a solid hot rod back on the road before summer ends. I'll post photo's when I figure out how to.....
I've still got ton's of tech questions...look forward to corresponding with other Camaro Nuts!.

Welcome to the forums! The way I post pictures is I add pictures to a free PhotoBucket.com account and then use the icon at the top when posting that has a picture of mountains and a sun. You just put in your picture's link and it puts it with your post. It sounds like you have a good idea what is going into the car. Good luck, and post many pics!

Thanks gentlemen. Again, look forward to 'talking' with like minded folks. One more blurry pic of what she looked like before I tore it apart.
