what to do with a grand..

[greesemunkee7]

alright i just got a grand cash from this dudes attorney.. long story.. wandering what i should buy?? haha its all going to the camaro. gona start with some hedman long tube headers. maybe electric water pump. what else...? i cant decide

[ViperJ]

First off more info on the car would be better, which engine, what trans etc. If its still stock then the headers woluld be good with a cat back, then if there is enough you could get an intake. Another idea is gears, depending on what you have.

[88camaroproject]

that transmission you were saying you needed. what engine you putting in again. and what hasnt been upgraded yet?

[greesemunkee7]

the camaro had the 2.8 v6 but i ripped that out, im putting in a 383 stroker, and i have a turbo350 coming up from corpus for 100 bucks and it supposedly runs, we'll see. the motor it self is ready to go. im just trying to decide which parts i want to buy now and which ones to buy later. i would like to get gears pretty soon. so thats where im at now

[Savage Messiah]

full exhaust (headers, !cat, catback), gears, suspension

[balls_to_the_wall]

Me, I would see how that Th350 looks, get it rebuilt, a new converter, and then go to exhaust.

[instantkevin]

well, if you didn't have headers on a 383 I would track you down and slap you.... twice... front and backhand.

secondly, what specifically have you done to the engine? is it Tuned port, carbed, what? performance parts? what about engine management? are you using factory computer, custom programmed?

is tranny strong enough for your level of power?
Cooling system okay?

if all of this is in order, then I would defintely go with full exhaust, rear gears, carb-metallic brakes (atleast), stiffer suspension, and B&M racthet shifter.

also what about torque converter?

[greesemunkee7]

the motor is carb'd, as far as the tranny goes, i just want something for temporary use, so i can acually move the camaro around without towing it, then later on i will get a new one. im just taking it one piece at a time bc i dont usually have money to be throwing out because of college. i have a few radiators laying around that would work, i might just use one of those, again, temporarly. i still have to do some more measurements on the motor bc i bought it when it was all put together and it didnt come with any numbers or info. i do know its bored/stroked 3.75/3.25 with a 400 crank, rv cam, edelbrok 650 electric choke carb.

get a set of weld drag-lites

and a 4" cowl induction hood

[greesemunkee7]

yeah i was thinking about wheels/tires and a cowl, but i want to get it up and running before i mess with the exterior.

[cuda_dude]

... save the money and use it when you need it

[greesemunkee7]

speaking of exterior, i got some flat black rustoleum and sprayed over that white shit they call paint. i think waxing it with animal fecies would have looked better than what it was. but thats just until i get the time to sand it all down and start over and work with bare metal. then ill get real primer and then paint eventually. ill put some pics up of how it looks with the rustoleum, didnt turn out as bad as id thought.
