I think it was 300-400 dollars more from Moser with all the options ordered. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

Headed for Hughes Performance bright & early in the morning. Not looking forward to the drive 5.5 hrs. one way. The trans went in for a refresh/re-cert & the convertor re-configured for the ProCharger motor. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs.

Thanks! This build is a whole different animal. I've never had any experience with boost. Also, the wanna-be Holley Sniper injection I have no experience with either. Hopefully I can learn this shyt without damaging too much! Looking at the fall to do its 1st testing.This message has been edited.

I got your text about 2 hrs. after leaving Hughes. As always, it's nice to chat with Kevin. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

The trans is good to go for now. We did discuss some different 1st gear ratios like the 1.69 or 1.58 & if I go that route, I'll just build another trans. The convertor was a WAG with no dyno sheets. He thought it would be around 5,600 on the lower boost & of course be higher with more boost. I tried to find Dyno comparisons of ProCharger motors N/A then dyno'd with boost. The few SBCs I found; it appears when you add boost the Torque Peak rises about 1,000 rpm over N/A. The HP Peak only seemed to raise 200-400 rpm. I had our Dyno sheets from when it was configured N/A. The new motor has the same basic configuration with lower compression 9.5:1 compared to the old 11.5:1 & the cam is 267*/279* @ .050, .640/.640 lift, 112 lobe center & Bullet wanted installed 4* advance. Compared to the old cam 266*/272*, .688/.673 lift & a 108 lobe center installed straight up. The new motor N/A should exhibit the same basic characteristics as the old motor. Old motor made 594 lbft @ 4600 rpm with low boost that should bump the peak to around 5,600 rpm. The torque is going to be well over 800 lbft & may approach 900 lbft. I think I'll have a lot of dialing in to do with the whole combo. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I got the rearend ordered today, I'm a little concerned about the overall width. This is supposed to be a stock width for a gen 2 Camaro. What I found was the stock width wheel mounting is 62.5"s. I had measured mine at 62.75"s wheel width mounting. I guess the .25" difference could be because of the stock rearend being modified for C-Clip eliminators. Regardless, Moser has a spot for custom width & I put that in the notes. If they do build it at 62.5"s, I have room for the tire/rim combo to move inboard that amount. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs.

Might take one or two cut and welds not knowing exact power. Will this one dyno? California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

It's probably going to a chassis dyno; I've never done that before. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I pretty much finished up the trunk this morning. It's about 98% done; a few connections to the batteries & I'm thinking about running another ground from left battery to the left frame rail. The two Leash relays are 70-amp ea. & feed the dual in tank Walbro 450LPH pumps. I wanted to add the additional battery primarily for EMI/RFI & using fuel injection. That seems to be the biggest complaint with the Holley systems. The battery charge wire & fuel pump wires come off the left battery. The ECU power & ground come directly off the right battery, trying to isolate them from EMI/RFI as much as possible. I also have a 2-gauge ground from the right battery to right frame rail. I also ran an 8-gauge ground from the right battery up to a stud mounted on the front roll cage down tube chassis plate. I have the Digital Delay relay board grounded to that stud. I'm working my way forward on the car & have the interior with wiring about 60% complete.  1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs.

The original plan was to have the car ready for testing this spring. I started the project around Sept. of 2020. Then early 2021 Covid hit & I had a serious health issue. Both of those slowed the plans down & put me about 6 months behind schedule. Right now, I hope to have the car ready for testing in the fall. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

9 Months! I called the machine shop today, needless to say I'm not happy.  Dec. They were waiting on a timing chain set. Today they are waiting on a new hub from ATI for my balancer. But hey, we have your short block assembled. I heard some other excuses also, but what can I do; absolutely nothing! Back in the early days I had a machine shop sponsor & that allowed me to do my own machine work/assembly. Maybe I should ask for the same deal here, just kidding.Going to the back-up plan, putting the back-up motor in. I mainly need it for mock-up of the fuel injection/wiring. Who knows maybe I'll fire up the old 385 that has been sitting for 13-14 years.  1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

The good news, the rearend is on its way. Supposed to arrive Feb. 3, roughly 2.5 weeks after ordering.  1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I got the spare motor 3 pointed today with the refreshed/re-certified trans & converter. Spent a good amount of time trial fitting the ProCharger. The longer belt they sent for the larger blower pulley is too long. I ended up using the shorter belt for the smaller pulley with no idler pulleys. I need to mock-up the smaller pulley & will probably have to use one or two idler pulleys. I also mocked-up the alternator bracket & took measurements for the belt length.  1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||
