ok, but still, the rotating force of the driveshaft (clockwise or counterclockwise) will affect the frame... one side will be pushed down the other up

[FormulaLT1]

The aluminum TPI system with a long cone filet attached to the front of the MAF would look awesome and be more reliable but the added work and amount of performance you are getting we would be better off going carb

[ridge_runner]

lots of steel and many welds will take care of that

[ridge_runner]

ok, so the 350 is going to be used for the engine, how bout trans??

[Joseph1082]

as long as you know it will... even Camaro frames are known to twist after years of abuse especially verts or Ttop cars

[FormulaLT1]

OK I'm going to bed in like 10 minutes , but before I do let decide what kind of donor car we want the 350 from so I can check prices today ,which tranny and how many speed's we want ( I think we decided Manual) and which rear- end we are going with

[Joseph1082]

Stick or auto, auto might be easier

[Joseph1082]

or not

[FormulaLT1]

We can use a x brace under the frame or even rig some sub frames connectors up I think frame bending is last thing to worry about

[ridge_runner]

oo and one of the mods might move this thread to a diff category, hopefully they wont

[Joseph1082]

so what trans?

[Joseph1082]

that'd be messed up, it's a Camaro, it's based around a 350

[ridge_runner]

if this is gonna be a mid engine car its gonna be kinda hard to shift eh?? i guess for a doner car something cheap and very common, maybe a old caprice or.... pickuptruck

[Joseph1082]

makes sense to me

[ridge_runner]

jus check the prices on all cars that have the 350
