2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

I am thinking that mine were 18" and I also had to open up the Center Bore. I will have to look at the one in my shop
to see if it's an 17 or 18

Marty, are the GTO spares the 17"?
If they are, I think they will fit over the rears but not the fronts(Z51 calipers).
I have been looking for a spare that will fit over both.
Check out my thread on it. This is what I have found out.

I just have to have the center bored and I will know for sure.

2nd Chance Camaro - To 335 or not !!![

2012 09-24 Update - To 335 or not !!!
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Evening all,

There has been a lot of progress on the car and I am playing catch up on the posts.

So here are the two tires side by side. 335 on the left and 295 on the right.



Since the goal it actually drive this car I am pretty sure I am going to be using the one on the right. However I will still make sure the bigger 335 fits under the car.



We did however find another use for this tire. Yep it makes kid smile !!!

2nd Chance Camaro - Making Room for the Edelbrock Headers

2012 09-25 Update - Making Room for the Edelbrock Headers
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Evening All,

To keep things simple I wanted off the shelf headers so I ordered up a set of Edlebrock shorty headers for a 2010 Camaro. Very nice
piece I may order a set for my 2010 Bumble Bee.



We needed to add a little extra clearance so the guys at High Speed Welding notched the frame to clear one of the tubes on the passenger
side.The good news is the drivers side fit perfectly.



A close up of the motor mount stands welded to the stock subframe. I also used the Edelbrock set back plates so I could use the stock style
motor mounts.



Looking down you see that the collector hits the subframe so a little more work is needed on the passenger side to make the header
work.



One of the reason for the shorty headers is ground clearance. Since the car will be sitting 6" off the ground the exhaust needs to tuck
up tight to the floor. There is only 4" of space between the floor and the bottom of the subframe thus there is no true way to hide
the exhaust unless you run a down-pipe style exhaust.

I have looked and looked for those headers. Edelbrock had a fire sale on them at one point in time and they were listed on the clearance page, but the quantity was at zero. They can still be found for cheap, but after seeing them go that cheap, it would hurt to pay regular price for a discontinued item. I bought some Dynatech swap headers and I am hopeful that they work well with the Scott Mock subframe.

I wish I could have scored those headers on clearance. I have some Dynatech long tubes and I am hoping they tuck up nicely with my subframe. I haven't test fit them yet though.

I regret only buying one extra set. I should have bought at least 2

2nd Chance Camaro - High Speed Welding Edelbrock Exhaust Mod Post 1


2012 10-22 Update - High Speed Welding Edelbrock Exhaust Mod Post 1

www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Afternoon All,

The guys at High Speed Welding are finishing up the exhaust and it should be done by the end of the week.



The goal is to tuck the exhaust up tight to the stock floor pan.



Close up of the new downpipes on the shorty headers



You can see that nothing is hanging below the Stock Sub-Frame as the car will be 5 1/2" off the ground.



In order to tuck the muffler tight to the floor they had to raise a section of the stock floor pan.





It was very important to keep the factory rear seat for my girls to ride in.



Finished front half of the exhaust.

&

&



The G-Force cross member made tucking the exhaust up easy. This is a great piece !



Up and over the axle is going to be exciting as the car has been lowered 3" in the rear so it's going to be a tight squeeze.



I love how pictures make things look closer then they actually are.








More to come this week.

what was the back spacing on those wheels?... did you have to do anything else to the car to fit those 295's on it?

The back spacing is 6.5" but the only way you can do that back spacing is if you use a set of DSE mini-tub. It will allow you to tuck the tire in some.

Your best bet is a 275 if you have stock inner wheel houses
