598 T/a

[598TransAm]

Been looking on here over the years checking out rides. A friend (Intimidator3) put his pro-touring 69 Camaro build on here. Which has had me thinking about changing mine up the more I look at other members.

Mine has a Scott Shafiroff 598 Big Dawg pump gas crate engine which made 851HP/792TQ (on motor). Raced it for a number of years but got a little bored racing and chasing lower et's. Ripped out the entire interior and put two layers of Dynomat to help with the noise and temps. Thinking about mini-tubbing, diff suspension, wheels and going with a more Pro-Touring look.


Few pics from the garage.

Older video but I like the way it sounds idling.

How could you not like the way that sounds? Since you have been around lurking you already know there are some awesome T/A on the site. Plenty of ideas on how to spend your money.:G-Dub:

Nice, and that's a lot of power, but of course you can never go wrong with wanting more. Any ideas on suspension and wheels you're going with? And welcome to the forums.

I'm doing the same to my 78 T/A,,,you won't regret it.

Hi, I know the LS motors can make big heaps of power, are user friendly, fuel efficient and everything else, But I love the big knuckle dragging old school engines. Looking forward to following your progress. Cheers.
