Thread: anybody need a Camaro???

Tweet

Well, most of the "go fast" Camaro's the same style as mine all seem to run a cowl induction hood......So of course I thought I should do something different and decided on an outside air intake system. Just getting started on some of the pieces for the front of the car. Once I have an engine mocked up in the car I'm going to try to fab up a free flowing air cleaner housing to seal out the underhood air. Outside air is much cooler then underhood air, should give a bit more power. Something different, anyway. Here's some pics of my start on the pieces.

nice intakes dave!

Thanks. I'll have 3" tubes going to the air cleaner.... Should be enough air???????

How much CFM does a 3" tube flow, anyway?????

PS--excuse the fugly welds, being half blind and trying to weld is tough!!!!!!!!

Hey Dave you could have saved yourself alot of time by just using an old SPAM can

Yup, maybe a little small but they probably would of worked fine...... Just would of had to find someone to eat the Spam so I could have the cans!!!!!!!

Ya mean you don't like SPAM? We used to have it at home at least once a week and to tell the truth I got a little sick of it. Hormel Foods is the company that makes it here in Austin MN. We even call of town "SPAM Town USA.

I worked for them forty years in their In-Plant print shop and then they sold it to another printer here in town, so I lost my job. Wasn't too happy about it but they did give me a VERY nice chunk of cash for leaving.

Tom,
Does that mean we all can send you the "Spam" we recieve?

"I lost my job. Wasn't too happy about it but they did give me a VERY nice chunk of cash for leaving."

So Thats why we "used" to get more Spam than We do now! They paid you off, to get you to stop sending us it.

Haven't had any for years.... When I was going to Air Force Tech School I was usually broke.....Spam was the usual meal...guess I just got tired of it....

Dave.....Saw the horrific bus/car accident photos in your neighborhood on our TV news last night. Did you know the local guy driving the car?

Nope, he went to school here.... Sure was a nasty wreck, surprised more weren't killed actually..... Big uproar about the driver of the car, for some reason he didn't have a valid license, don't know why.... Too bad he died, but it sure could have been a lot worse.

Hey Dave
any updates? How's the project coming? Steve.

Nothing at all.... Too busy on other projects.... Maybe a couple more weeks and I can at least find time to look at it again!!!!!!

I have ordered more goodies for it and have another order ready to place tonight so when I do have time the new goodies will be there waiting!!!!

I hear yah. I'll be painting and sanding most of the summer. Hope to have the cash for the engine by fall. Then I'll be moving foward!

Ok, the 'maro is officially for sale. As is, all done, or anywhere in-between. It's gonna be a skinny block chebbie, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 corner coilovers, 9" with a triangulated 4 bar, 6 point roll bar, trick dash, 2 seat interior, lots of body mods, and anything else a new owner would want.....

PS, no dumb offers please, this car is and will continure to be the best parts and a ton of labor.......
