Plans are a 6.0 with a T70 front mount or heads/cam and a T56 or maybe an auto. Body is in awesome shape with only one rust hole on the quarter. Interior all there but really not usable, most likely switching to black anyways. My 18's from the 70 are going on there also and I have a clean rear bumper along with a shaker hood in the back of the truck. It's going to get a 77 nose also.
It has the original turbocharged 301 that's on it's last leg, it will be coming right out. I wanted to run the 6.0 on the original trans until it blew but I think the trans went out just putting it on the dolly. To be honest I am glad the motor is blown, it gives me a reason to actually go through with putting a built motor in. The towing with the F250 is awesome also.
Got a little bit done today, I've never pulled a motor before and man was that a BITCH! Got the front bumper, hood and wheels on also, car is gonna look sick when it is finished, not to bad for a days work I guess.
I like it. I want to do a 80-81 rear end with a 77-78 nose too. I want to find a way to do a center exhaust exit and get the stance right. I am doing a 6.0L LQ4 into a 74 Firebird, so I will be following along closely on this one. Rushforth's look great on there.

That's an awesome idea, I have a SS Camaro center mount exhaust laying in the back of my truck so I am gonna rig it up on there and see how it looks. Not trying to steal your idea or anything haha.
I was suppose to get my LQ4 today but I couldn't get my damn tailgate open.
Looking good there Trey so did you sell newer camaro you had to? Pulling a motor is the fun part I think it's putting in one that was not suppose to go there and getting it right with all other goodies that can be a pain. Brandon
you can steal my idea on the CME. I have always liked the SS option CME on the fourth gens. I am unsure how it would work out with the gas tank, but it is a cool idea. The 74 may get a similar treatment if I can pull it off, a rear diffuser would be nice too. Post up pics if you mock it up. Leave the later model rear on it and do a smoothed taillight treatment, that would look awesome.
