lol!!!! i would have but i ran out of money fixin' my trans the last couple of years, lmmfao!!!


headers are Lemon's Custom Headers. Very nice headers. I bought them from another person on this board who went turbo. I had them recoated this year and they look amazing! 1 7/8" stepped to 2", with 4" collectors, overkill on the motor but nice for the bottle.

yeah you bought rob's headers from socal..... i was in mid build when that happened and almost bought them as well (I was interested) but I was far from needing headers and money was pointed elsewhere....

Taner let's go half on a golf cart bro...... We'll share custody..... and you make "cart support payments"...

I went with #7 as I have a TH400, weight reduction, and I have a set of LE3 heads and cam waiting in the wings.

I have a second 94 Z28 for semi daily duties. I went too far with the evil twin and it sits in the garage alot now. I wanted a fast daily driver again so I bought the good twin.

Both cars are Red 94 Z28s, almost exactly the same options. The only difference is the evil twin had leather interior and the good twin has gray cloth.

Anyhow, I have one #7 and a #2 (good twin has shorty headers and such)

Right now, I only got bolt-ons.. But I'm hoping to get ahold of a low milage LT1 engine possibly late winter, swap it in, and put a cam and nitrous in it.

When its done it'll just be a clean street car with a decently built LT1 that can hold its own. Race car stuff is cool to watch, but I don't want that kind of commitment and expense. I'll stick to a street car that can go mid 10s on nitrous and able to drive to car meet when I want. Seems like once you start chasing single digits or a record it just gets way to expensive.

This fall...Just a typical 355, solid roller, Rons Methanol Injection system, single plane intake... The only LT1 about the motor is the heads and block.
