The mini tub was done by a guy by the name of Rodney Austin; the owner of Austin Collision and Custom. He also did the smoothing of my firewall. He does great work - I recommend him highly.

So do you like the 540 better than the last motor??
Do the fans keep it cool in traffic.
How was your Shaffiroff Experience?
I had a 540 built this summer that's why I ask.Documented 302 Z-28 car updated restoration underway.

Yes, I do like it better than my last motor. My last motor was a GM ZZ502 that had a bigger cam/better vavle train/more compression. Originally Posted by lftnwhls

Shaffiroff was great on the customer service side - very positive overall experience.
What cam did you go with in your 540? Lift/Duration/Brand?
Thanks.

It's late on a Friday night, I have had a few drinks, the Camaro is FINALLY sitting in my garage on the lift....and I can almost NOT believe it. The Marquez emblems were put on today at the body shop (along with a few other items) and that just about wraps things up.
The last 14 months of putting this thing together has been a very, very long 14 months...really. I now know why 'fire sales' take place; people finally have their fill.
At this point, we are essentially there. I just need to get the car on a chasis dyno (waiting on a custom built carb that should be here within the week) and see how she does. I will say this though, I am very, very impressed with how this Shafiroff 540 pulls. Strong...strong...strong.
I think I will grab some video this weekend and a few shots of the car rolling down the road.
DONE, DONE, DONE!!!!! I am free!
