Hello everyone, just joined the site! Heard a few things about it, figured I'm already on mifbody so why not join here.
A few things about me; I'm 17 with a passion for cars. I'm currently a senior and also dual enrolled an MCCC here in Monroe. I actually live near Carleton and travel north and south. I also own a 91' Camaro 3.1l that I will be using as my DD. It was my first car and I was unfortunately involved in an accident in September. Which brings me to my current project; a 1992 Camaro RS.
The day after the accident I called up a couple I met at a show in Flat Rock. They told me they were looking to sell a 2 year project that hasn't been touched in forever. I told them I was interested at the time, but ended up changing my mind shortly after the show. Well after the accident I remembered about the car and gave them a call. The next day me and my dad went out and bought the car for a measly $1650.
Specs:
1992 Camaro 25th Anniversary
305 TBI w/ WC t5
3.08 Open Rear w/ Drums
Flowmaster Muffler
Very LITTLE Options, heck it doesn't even have rear defrost.
I drove the car home, only issues that I saw were no brake lights, and the heater core was leaking. Nothing major, all to be fixed in time. The paint was quite sad, as the clear coat was destroyed on the whole front of the car. Also the hood was quite chipped from rocks. The car has 180k miles and is absolutely rust free. Recently I have started the tear down. First out with the red interior as I will be swapping my pristine grey interior from the 91' over. Also picked up a set of 4th gen cloth seats for $45, couldn't pass that deal up.
At the end of December I found what I was looking for, a 350 TPI! What made this engine even cooler was that it was from a 1991 1LE Camaro. The owner is doing an LS3 swap and no longer needed it. The engine fits my needs perfectly, it also came with the computer. Only thing that was missing was the wiring harness, but I managed to find one from a 92' firebird that had a 305 TPI w/ T5. This harness should be plug and play, I re loomed it completely and also cleaned up all the wires.
As of right now I am starting to pull the tired 305 out. I don't plan for any performance upgrades to the 350 as they are not really in my budget. Being 17 I watch my pennies very carefully. All that should be left for me to buy is a fuel pump, I plan to go with a Walbro 255. I also have a guy from MiFbody who said he would burn a chip for me. Here are some pictures;
