Hey everyone, I thought I might share the build of my car, starting from day 1.
So we begin with the day I bought the car. (Wheels I had laying around)

I thought it sat too high, so I bought lowering springs and some new shocks.

And then I realized that 2.73's and drum brakes suck, so I went out and found a rear out of a 99 SS. (3.42's and discs)

I also got a 1 pc. aluminum driveshaft from the same car. (spent around 300 for rear and driveshaft)

And I throw a rod bearing![Icon Doh](https://camaroforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_doh.gif)
So I decide to go all out with the rebuild of the car.
First thing was to disassemble my car.

Yep, a vortech supercharged 3.4l v6. I talked to the guy and had a long discussion on how he did it, and I am inspired to reproduce his creation. I have a lot more detailed pics but I'm going to keep those to my self. Stay tuned for more updates

Nice job. I am a little suprised the 40K donor need bored. These block have a fair amount of nickel in them and tend not to show to much wear until 100K or so.
Good luck,,,

Thanks, The motor had a blown head gasket after I opened it up, and a cylinder had water+rust in it. So it needed to be bored. (I also want to run lower compression so the engine can take boost/nos.)

Haha this is true. Were the 5-speeds rare? I've seen tons of v6 Camaro's but they were all automatics. Except a few that I've seen on here.
