Buddy P's '68 Camaro progress post

Finally picked up my tranny, T-56 out of a '04 GTO.

Still need to get a LS7 clutch and flywheel, harness and other misc items to install it.

Thanks again guys...

Just got my motor back from my motor builder... now I can start bolting on the accessories. Still need to get a fuel rail, harness/PCM/coils, headers, power steering and alternator. Going to paint the intake silver and paint the pulleys and valve covers a dark gray to match the subframe.

Nice looking work and parts.

Try http://www.jimsperformance.com/ they reworked my stock harness and added fuel pump relay and fan triggers. He knows his stuff.

Try http://www.pcmforless.com/ for the PCM. Sent mine off and had it reprogrammed. If you make changes to the motor, send it in for a reprogram for $50.00.

Well I'll give a breif update... was waiting to update the thread when I got the shell back from the local collision shop. It's getting the trunk floor, main floor, qtrs, rear valance and mini tubs welded in. I'll have it back in about a week and will post some shots of it along with some updated shots of the motor.... this is gettin exciting now!

I'd love to find that motor and tranny combo as well! good job

Got the shell back from the body shop. Got the full floor, full trunk pan, rear valance, rocker panel section and both qtrs fit and welded in place. Have a LOT of grinding and sealing to do now.

Guess it's been awhile since I checked my built post! I think it's a 228/232 .591/.609 lift. It's a Comp cam. Pulling from memory here.
