Yeah yeah, it’s a compromise but it’s just for fun, nothing serious.. Mostly hpde and a few cam autoX events.

2002 camaro ss I picked up end of last year off the ls1tech forum
https://ls1tech.com/forums/market/1962196


Bought it, and a week later had an injector hang open and hydrolocked the engine. Has some pretty good blowby now, most likely a broken ringland. I’ll figure it out once I pull it and tear down. It’s an iron block, so I decided to go ahead and have an aluminum engine built to do the swap at the same time I pull this one.

Found an lsa block for a good price, ordered up some je fsr pistons, compstar rods, and tea tfs 235 heads. Still waiting on all the parts and machine shop at this time.

Had another run of bad luck buying a whole pallet worth of umi parts from another member. Aaacooper lost the pallet for 2months. After a stressful wait, and them dragging their feet on an insurance claim they bothered to do their jobs and find it. Luckily it doesn’t appear to be missing anything or damaged.

Road race k member, lower adjustable arms, yellow konis, Strano springs, dse x tracker hubs, watts link, subframe connectors, willwood brakes, pretty good setup to go with the other parts already on car.

Hoping to find a decoupled torque arm to add to this pile of parts.

Should be able to update soon once engine is ready.
