New parts I got for Christmas, Grant Steering wheel and adapter kit, want to use this and save some weight over the factory steering wheel and eliminate the air bags. Plus looks better than stock too. Also got a billet grill for the Camaro, but that is just dress up so I'll leave it off the list.

Grant Steering Wheel...$29.95
Wheel Adapter Kit...$20.95

Should have some installed pictures later this week.

I've been thinking about doin' the Grant steering wheel as well..Let me know how that goes. Have any part#'s for those? Do you know of any other aftermarket wheels' that will work?

Taubr Unit · 12-26-2008, 07:35 PM

heres my grant wheel, no horn eaither....

flyinZ · 12-26-2008, 09:42 PM

^^^^There we go, thats what Im looking for. The horn not being there doesn't bother me, thats why you have a middle finger

Have any part#'s for that setup?

Taubr Unit · 12-27-2008, 04:42 AM

no part numbers, all i remember is sayin its a chevy car and it looks like a unversal gm adaptor, then just any wheel works

LS1 SPEED · 12-27-2008, 08:37 AM

With the silver spokes the part number is 415 and Larry is right with the 3196 for the adapter

Ok, finally got the car running again after pulling the heater and a/c box and related hardware. I have tons of room on the passenger side now!

I'm thinking about moving the computer to under the dash, any issues with that?

I also pulled the power steering parts, the accessory bracket, and relocated the alternator down to where the a/c compresssor used to be. Seems to rev up alot faster now that it just has the alternator and crank pulley.

Next, I want to do the LS1 lid conversion, which all i need to get is the ls1 lid base (if anyone has a spare), a oval to circle coupler for the throttle body, and I will give it some room with a cowl induction hood. Hope to sell the moroso CIA to fund the ls1 lid swap. Also trying to work out a deal right now trading a built up 4l60 for some weld prostars (15x3.5s and 15x10s) So hopefully that goes through.

Took a couple pictures, I know everything is dirty, its the middle of winter so everything will have to wait until spring to get cleaned up. I took one of both my 4th gens together, one of the grant steering wheel installed, and another of the relocated alternator. Also drove the Z/28 around the block to get a feel of how it drives without the front sway bar and no power steering. Its not as bad as i thought. I backed into my parking spot no problem with the factory 16s on the front!

Taubr Unit · 01-22-2009, 09:00 PM

hell yea! alt. bracket looks good!!

Beaflag VonRathburg · 01-22-2009, 09:34 PM

I like that steering wheel too. I have my eye on another one, but it is roughly $200. I may end up with the blackish one like the other guys.

EDIT: I have an extra stock LS1 lid holder downer / top radiator cover thing. I'd have to check to see if it still has the latches on it though. I'm not sure. I'd sell it to you really cheap as it is just taking up space in my garage.

I am at the same outskirts with my car

I got my 93 for $900. I have probably $130 in materials I've bought so far. I've sold the engine and some of the related components for around $550. I have $1000 in my LS1 engine harness, PCM, 408 K1 / Wiseco rotating assembly, and 6.0 iron block. If I wanted to sacrifice a lot of the stuff I would like to have in the car to make it more user friendly I could have it run mid / high 9s for around $6-7k on the bottle. The current estimate is $15k and the goal is 8.20s at 170 with AC, PS, all the interior panels, two stock seats, and a stock interior minus the cage and gauges. It can be done on a budget, but you have to shop around.

Ok, decided I am going to move the battery to the back of the Camaro. Since the Camaro is more the race car, i am pulling some performance equipment off the GTO and putting it on the Z/28. One of the parts I can steal is the battery relocation kit.

I mounted the switch today since i didnt have to pull it from the car. Just need to pull the wiring from the GTO and order a box for the battery.

z28rob18 · 02-04-2009, 10:29 PM

looks good man

Taubr Unit · 02-04-2009, 11:13 PM

Black94Z28 · 02-05-2009, 07:44 AM

the badges were off a 69 camaro, but I do believe year one has them repro'd. They do set the car off really nice

CamaroRacing12 · 02-05-2009, 10:54 AM
