Before I get too involved in this, how would you feel about buying a donor, a whole, running 2WD Chevy pickup or 2WD SUV with an LS motor and use all the mechanicals out of it to transfer into your Camaro. With a turbo, you could make 750 horsepower on E85 with all-stock mechanicals. You'd have to tweak the computer and other EFI parts, but the inside of the motor could remain stock. I've seen late model, low miles trucks and SUV's that have been involved in an accident sell for $1200-$1500. You could use the front and rear clips and have power disc brakes and a strong differential with all fresh front end and R&P. Once you had used everything out of the donor that you wanted, you would still have the interior, exterior sheet metal and glass to sell off for money to reduce the cost of the donor. You could even use the wheels and tires off the donor. What do you think about this approach ?
