        Not ls1 related but.. it is from this car.. and this is what to do with non ls1 engines! lol
        Well I cant get rid of the numbers matching engine and trans out of the camaro.. and I dont see myself putting it back in. So I decided to do an "as stock" cosmetic resto and put it in a bar or corner of a game room in my next house.Luckily the previous owner kept the original intake/carb/points dist/valve covers and aircleaner with the car so the need for sourcing of original parts will be a minimum..

        How it started



        how its been sitting for the last year..



        It was a pain to work on so i got some casters and some 2x2 square tubing I had on the shelf..



        ta da!


        The original script "chevrolet" valvecovers were in suprisingly good shape under about 6 layers of paint..


        I stripped them completely bare and primed them..


        More cleaning




        Pulled the aftermarket intake, to put on the factory cast iron one.. .


        This is how its sitting now(it still has the aluminum intake on it in the pic) , I pulled and painted the engine dolly and i pulled and cleand up the engine mounts, I am going to paint behind them and then put it together to get some chevy orange.. .

          Well heres the update with pics,
          primered the covers, that was a mistake..


          had to re-strip the covers because the prime caused the engine paint to wrinkle/crack



          I took everything down to bare metal if i could..





          and the finished product (waiting on a water neck from my dad.. )

              Great build man! Love the car....the blower is bad ass and the best thing is it fits under the flat stock hood!

              I wouldn't give my 2 cents but since you asked....I am not diggin' the wheels....the look out of place..but..just my 2 cents...


              Killer car man, really! and all done in the garage! got to love it

                Wow! Definitely diggin the blown LS1. My guess is you've got a bit more than $2300 in it now ;D

                I think 17's could look great on there, but not those 17's.

                Also diggin the 67 Granada Gold with black vinyl roof.

                  Great build! I have thought of and threatened to do that with my original 67 vert but haven't had the opportunity or the balls to do it. :-\

                    nice camaro, and the original engine looks great. I bet it runs and drives great now.

                          Thanks for all the responses!
                          the 17's are there for setting up the stance.. if you look closely you can see a jack peeking out, to get the fender gaps like they look in the pic i need to lower the front about 2.5" and the rear about 1" I like how it looks with the rally wheels, but they dont clear big brakes.. I am thinking about a set of the 17" rallys, but I have got to get my built 4l60e in there before i kill the stocker thats in there.

                            yeah , I was going to ask , the 2004r needs some pricey mods to stand up to power
                            looks good
