Thank you! Wheels are next, then 1 piece driveshaft from DDS, then some rear toe/trailer arms and lower control arms from BMR. I went a little overboard with supporting mods on the CAM build but on the other hand I am confident that it should be reliable even when I do track days

FINALLY .... got around to finishing the exhaust...

NOW its Gutted cats **right one was starting to rattle :(
MagnaFlow 2.5 ins and 2.5 outs muffler
Solo Performance Helmholtz axle back.

sounds super mean outside the car. and super quite inside the cabin.
beyond happy with sound.

The next chapter has started with my build. Now the that I got the front of the engine buttoned up. the rear main seal has started to go on me. I already changed the oil cooler gasket, hoping that would be it. but no. Parts have been ordered and since Im a "while Im there guy"

ORDER:
GM oil pan gasket
GM rear crankshaft seal (both)
Z/28 motor mounts
Z/28 transmission mount

Future:
Mcloed RST clutch and Steel flywheel.
GM Performance slave cylinder and throwout bearing
Billet Slave Sleeve

MAYBE/Probably
DSS aluminum driveshaft

Update: replaced my AirFilter (see in pics) 👀
The upgraded motor mounts are a fantastic mod. Highly recommend to anyone.
And I hit a dead animal. The bumper is toast so I ordered GM parts for the ZL1 Front Bumper conversion. I still need to find a clutch setup. Remain seal and timing gasket are here. ALSO I order front z28 control arms. One of the arms is discontinued. 23105014 < that’s the part number if anyone wants to help

It's a long shot but I would call Lee C Parts regarding the z28 control arm. They just bought 2 salvage Z28's and they are parting one of them out. They may be able to help you with the control arm. Too bad about the front bumper. ALthough the Zl1 bumper is definitely a better choice... Looking for one myself.

Leadsled · 02-23-2023, 06:21 PM

I was planning on a new front bumper. Wasn’t how I was planning on it to work out but here is my ZL1 front end conversion. The fog lights were a bust. They were supposed to swap over. But didn’t. I’ll have to look into it. I think they changed the fog light housing in the later years. Mine is an early production. I bought the ZL1 bezels and ZL1 retainers with every intention of having atleast the top fog lights. The light housing doesn’t match with retainers.

All of the parts were sourced out GM parts with the Gen5diy hardware kit. Cost me about 13-1400 after paint. < broke even because insurance paid for the damage from me hitting a dead deer on the interstate

Drove 3 1/2 hours for a little Camaro Club meet in Atlanta. I live in SC
30 cars showed up and I put over 500 miles on the car

Looking really good with the new Zl1 front bumper. Definitely on my list of mods as well.

Well youve sold me on the ACS hood vent. Be sure you get GM bumper. the fitment is spot on.

That's a sharp looking ride. Great job.

Leadsled · 03-02-2023, 06:42 PM

The Proof is in the Pudding my 2010 fog lights vs 2011-2012
Looks like I’ll be getting the wiring harness because my factory harness does not plug into the newer bulbs 😂🤣😅🥲 at this point its comical

Leadsled · 03-20-2023, 03:45 PM
