My dad ownes a 1970 Chevy Camaro RS, this is his first car he has ever owned and cant let go of it…the reason why it has been sitting for 20 years was because he hit a telephone pole head on at around 70 mph racing down his street. He bought another parts car camaro and fixed up the body a little but never completely finished it up. So im going to restart this project for him.
The school semester is starting and I promised my dad I would take his tranny to school and rebuild it for him.
So tonight i worked on it for 2 and a half hours, took off the whole front end and pulled the motor.
This is where I left it tonight, Im going to pull the tranny off the motor tomorrow night and take it to class on wednesday and start tearing the tranny apart.
Updates will be up every wednesday of what I did that day during class.

well i know i havent updated this at all as i was rebuilding the transmission, but i got the transmission done and dyno’ed it. Everything works and all the line pressures were in spec. or just over spec since I put a B&M shift improver kit (street/strip one)
im going to be rebuilding the motor in the fall but i will problably will be disassembling it over summer. i have no clue what im going to do with it or how much money im going to dump into it…ive never messed around with carborated motors or anything bigger than a 4 cylinder before hahaha
so if anyone has any suggestions that they want to give or any kits (stroker, cam) that they know of that would help me out in my decision making
