Honestly it's probably best to get your's rebuilt - they all have 50years wear on them.

I do think it's too pricey to have done, i had one done once but cant remember $ exactly

Unless someone is selling one they know has been rebuilt

VERY COOL! will the dump pipe run between engine mount and sump?

yeah i test drove a couple of carby ones before this one... they are definate LS swap candidates straight away!.. this is definately nicer and I'm not searching gumtree for LS's yet

last time at drags i couldnt get into 2nd from 1st at high rpm due to gearbox issues. if i launched in 2nd it would tramp like mad. so i really had no way to launch. i think the gearbox+caltracs hopefully = success... but just in case there is always more boost!

Well the rally car is at my brothers, he is supposed to be doing rust repairs (nothing horrible but just some typical body spots that we only ever fixed with bog etc) while we are all in ISO, but all i ever get is photos of his daughter playing with it

I think my "Isolation is over" party will be to do a rally late this year or early next, being restricted to home has really kindled my desire to go and thrash a car through the forest again....

Well i got it all back together, i manage to get the motor in the bay and then connect the gearbox from in the tunnel. The rebuilt stumpy is in and it shifts so much nicer now so i'm very hpappy indeed. I didnt realise how much i missed the car until it hit boost. it's a fun machine for sure.

Next project is caltracs... then drags when isolation is over

Camaro is a '91 Z28, 305 TPI (proper manifold and runner injection) Auto. I really enjoy it, so easy to launch and great torque - basically the opposite of the datto, but the dattos quicker... for now

Update pic. Had the rallycar at a rally festival in bayswater a couple of months ago. It last saw action dec2017. So many memories and fun to get it out. Drove it to work for a couple of weeks. Goes great

Hoping the rebuilt box and some caltracs i have (not fitted yet) will get me inspired to go the drags. Always wanted to do a 12 in it since i was dreaming of putting a CA in 15 years ago... might make it happen this year. Pulled the motor out today and dropped gearbox off the back once the engine was free to move forward... wasnt easy on my own.

Only got one photo. First run in probably 3 years. It has a big radiator. Pulsar or something, thanks Z. Efi is on back burner for now.
