Hi, I'm from Columbus OH, part of a group from the GRM forum who are assembling a LeMons/Chump team around a 1985 Camaro.

I have zero f-body experience and have a backround in vw/bmw so I have much to learn.

The car is a v8/5speed with several layers of paint/bondo/rust, our plan is to run a mild 350 through a t5 and 9 bolt limited slip rear axle.
We have some hope of making the April 16-17th race at Gingerman but it's going to be one hell of a push to make the event.

A roll cage is the first order of business, at this point it's a toss up between a pre-bent kit from S&W or another supplier or me spending the time to make templates and have Tubular Techniques bend a cage.

List of parts we're looking for, cheap cast off stuff and local preferred

transmission cross member
t5 bellhousing
clutch/flywheel
clutch fork
clutch master/slave/line
pedal box

front calipers - standard size or larger
rear calipers
performance pads
torque arm
Twin Fans
Radiator
16" wheels

I'll donate to the cause... I've got a radiator from my LT1 if you want it. It was working fine when I removed it about 1 year ago. No dog hair, I promise. Don't know if it'll work in a 3rd gen 305. I've also got stock springs, ph bar, rear control arms (maybe), rad. overflow bucket. Again, it's for a 95 LT1, but if you want any of it let me know. I might have other stuff I'm not thinking of right now.

Wahoo! FREE PARTS!!

Yes, the rear springs, rear control arms and ph bar should all work. The rear parts can bend in a good lateral smack, so grab them. I *think* a 4th gen radiator works in a 3rd gen....anyone? The overflow likely will not. Take everything you can get...worst case, trade it for parts you need!!

Good luck, we're all expecting a good race report with lots of pics!! :-)
