My 89 Camaro Project

Man, I just welded a bumper for a 4-wheeler, and the TIG would pwn something like that...

Just make sure you don't get sunburn haha. 250amps@240v is extremely HOT.

250A X 240V = 60,000Watts?!?!

Lol... this is the shift kit i'm getting: http://www.700r4l60e.com/store/produ...&cat=52&page=1

I hope this trans holds up for a while with that in it...

I posted that up for part numbers for the clutch packs that you will probably want to end up doing in the future as well... Trust me I've already burt a set of stock Raybestos replacements in my 60e with the engine I have... and I know your packing a bit more of a punch than I am.

great work there dave . good progress on the build. but i think the left mount will need a bit more tape to handle all that torque LOL

[Killert]

if you make a couple sets of those mounts I'm sure they will sell!

I got some time to work on the motor mounts today.. of course making them out of cardboard first.


Passenger side, 4 bolts into the block.



Drivers side, 2 bolts in from the side and 1 in from the front. (not using the oil pan mount)




Both off the car. I need to add some gussets here and there but i think they'll do the job.



need to do some fine tuning but i should have these in steel before the end of the weekend.

You'll need these numbers eventually.

Looks like your oil pan clears just fine. You suck...

lol..

I can pretty much put anything in it now, 4cyl up to a BBC and have plenty of room.

I have been looking at buying a camaro for a project car and this thread makes me want to do it more!

[Superdave]

Engine is in! (well, the mockup engine anyways....)





now to take some measurements and build some motor mounts... then headers

It's a junk crank

[pocket-rocket]

first ever 700R bolted to a 3500?

Looking good, but shouldn't that crank be stored upright?

[Superdave]

i had it, nobody locally wanted it so i just went ahead and put it in.

It's 8 lbs lighter than the stock one, but gives me a lot more room to work.

I didn't think you were using that K-member? Glad to see one of us is making progress...
