I’d bought a complete Camaro LT1 and 4L60-E off ebay a few years ago and planned to freshen it and replace the Impala one. I got Zane to strip and check it and he found no problems so I ordered up a full set of gaskets and a beefier cam and he rebuilt it ready to swap in. While he had the car I got him to make a new exhaust system for it in stainless and subframe connectors to stiffen the car up. The new exhaust gave me loads more clearance so I can now get over at least some speed bumps.

The engine runs well but one of the lifters is sticking so it’ll need the intake off it and fresh ones stuck in. It also doesn’t like to idle so low with the new cam so I had to bump the idle up slightly, and wire a park-neutral-park switch in to stop the car stalling as it goes into gear. The ’95 box also needs an extra wire to control the torque converter lockup so it’s running unlocked all the time for now. It’s nice just driving it again instead of the Volvo I got as a spare while the work was getting done.
