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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Camaro\/SFCs.jpg\" alt=\"Subframe Connectors\" width=\"443\" height=\"239\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The engine runs well but one of the lifters is sticking so it&#8217;ll need the intake off it and fresh ones stuck in. It also doesn&#8217;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 &#8217;95 box also needs an extra wire to control the torque converter lockup so it&#8217;s running unlocked all the time for now. It&#8217;s nice just driving it again instead of the Volvo I got as a spare while the work was getting done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Camaro\/TheMaro.jpg\" alt=\"The Maro\" width=\"443\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;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.
