I picked up my 95 Z28 from PMP last night and I am very happy with the fit and finish of the cage and connectors I had installed. Now that the car is back in my care I will be yanking the engine back out to cut out the wiper cowl for clearance for the tall intake. The list of things to do to get this rolling is not extensive. install 255lph fuel pump install FPR and run fuel lines to engine complete transmission adapter plate order high stall torque converter have drive shaft modified install 6 port nitrous setup into heads. install fresh 3.0 reinstall body wiring harness purchase and install gauges I am pumped! I would like to drive this whore before summer is done ---

So let me get this right…you’re taking a camaro, which came from the factory with a proven V8 that can get the job done and then some…and, taking that motor out, and putting in one that was never meant to go in there, that makes less power, has fewer cylinders/less displacement, and comes from a Ford back in their “Found On Roadside Dead” era? Awesome… ---

> [@psphinx81](#): > > this has to be a joke… It is a joke…he’s really doing it, but it’s still a joke lol. What’s the point of being obsessed with SHO’s when you’re not even going to be rocking one any more? Or why not just stop with this madness and save up for the brand new SHO coming out that actually looks like it will be a decent car? ---

The good part about the SHO was the Yamaha motor so this is interesting. Something like an MR2 or Miata would be a way cooler place to stuff that motor though. ---

A fox mustang would have been a much better platform…weighs less and a much better rear end from the factory. ---

It’d be like dropping a turbo Honda 1.6 SOHC into a FWD TSI. I mean, sure it might be more reliable, but what’s the point? ---
