John's 1992 Camaro Project

Got ground from the garage for a month.. oh the perks of being 17. It may last 2 weeks, usually I get out of the grip pretty early on.

In the mean time I am looking for a fox/thirdgen for my buddy. Can't post in the for sale forum as I don't have enough posts. Preferably a running MANUAL car around $2800. Just message me through here and I will pass it along to him. Thanks guys!
 
Little update, got most of the engine bay harness unplugged. Now I'm just scratching my head on the actual removal of it. Anyone do this before? I'm thinking there are some clips on the backside.
 
So I got the harness out. I could probably do it again in half the time. I ended up cutting 3 grounds because I couldn't get to them with a wrench or socket. They were located on the passengers side head. I'll get some pics later. Now to start pulling the engine!
 
Yeah I learned that the hard way. Oh well, it's out in one piece. This is my first time pulling an engine.
 
Everything should be disconnected now. Only things left is the exhaust, bell housing and the motor mounts. Waiting for the weather to break so I can roll it outside and use the cherry picker.

Strip the accessories off the motor, you will need a puller for the power steering pulley, but that will give you room to bring motor forward to access trans bolts. As far as exhaust cut it right after the manifolds

I assume you aren't keeping the old motor. If it was me I'd strip it to short block for simple removal, also pull the radiator

I should have enough room, radiator is already out, just can't see it in that picture. We have a cherry picker so it should be an easy removal. I plan on getting out there today and taking care of the exhaust. Actually warming it up as I type this.
 
Figured it's time for an update. Got the 305 out and started to clean up the 350. Plan is to clean, sand, and paint the engine bay black.

The 1992 has been a little neglected lately, as I have really focused on getting my 1991 ready for summer. Full body and paint... again. So needless to say the 1992 is on the backburner, but it will get there soon!
 
Here is the 1991, just got out of the booth 2 hours ago. Painted at Millers Collision Repair in Monroe.

Work should start back up this week on the 92' in the meantime.... here are some pictures of my 91'.

Thank you, had the same scheme last year before the accident and never really got any compliments. Probably put 200 miles on it yesterday and got 5 compliments, a picture, many nods, to many heads following it, and also a member here had me pull over so he could check it out. His name is steve and he drives a AWD Charger w/ a hemi if anyone knows his username.

Overall I'm very happy with the turnout, wheels, and stance of the car. It truly does turn heads and make people take a second look. For a V6 it sure does do a good job of setting the quality mark in my opinion.
 
Only since you posted pics of under the rear bumper, I suggest getting a spray can of flat black and taking care of that overspray. Otherwise looks great! :thumbsup:
