    Extreme Camaro hybrid build plus...

    I have been holding out on posting this build that's lasted a year so far, but come on inside and check it out!

    When I first started out at the machine shop, porting etc, I had a guy who got in on a group buy for a 3500 top end for his Camaro. Well, it didn't stop there needless to say.

    Started with this...

    Bought a 3500 to pirate the parts from


    Polished the valve covers...


    Then the manifold (well not complete yet, but you get the idea lol)




    But the customer wants the best of everything, so new parts showed up. Yellow springs, titanium retainers, ls1 seats, Viton seals, at this time it was SI valves (later changed them for Manley after hearing the heads were popping off the SI's)...


    Porting!




    Who need a small TB? One of our adapters and the 65mm upgrade
