383 for sure jd and yes them rims and tires look great that looks like a straight body . I missed the year two years when you got us to guess what kind of car and year that was under that tarp I just knew what kind of car but was a crap shoot on the year . That 383 will have good power and them wide back tires will plant it firmly on the ground. Good luck on this build hope everything goes well and can’t wait to see all the vids on it be safe jd love your channel

Hey Randy! Thanks for the feedback, the car is really straight and in really good shape. It's very clean underneath to with the exception of oil leaks, grime, etc. No rust whatsoever. If you haven't checked out the intro video where I go over the whole car, check it out under videos on my channel. 383 will have some insane power (450-475 hp) depending on the heads I go with. I'm also planning to put some traction bars on it to help it stick on the back end with that much power. Should be fun. Stay safe my friend.

This is awesome. 383 stroker is going to be awesome also. Put on Brodix heads 221cc track ones or if you can swing the budget CNC 227cc heads.

Hey Dennis. So the heads are going to make this engine for sure. I really haven't started researching them too much but I have looked at AFR and Brodix heads for sure. Definitely going to go with something in that direction. There are some pricey options out there for sure! Stay tuned to the channel and we will eventually get that motor built. JD

you should reinforce your shock mounts with steel plates when using air shocks on a 2nd gen.

I currently have 14” wheels and tires on my Camaro, can you tell me is there any added advantage to getting 15”other than looks
@JDOffline

I don't think so to be honest although you will have more choices of tire size with a 15 inch rim. If you are happy with your 14 inch rims then that's all that matters! You're not losing performance or anything compared to a 15 inch rim. JD

Do you remember on rear wheels the backspace? Look awesome

Thank you! The rear wheels are 15x10 and I believe the back spacing is 3.75 or maybe 4 inches. No more than that. Hope this helps. JD

Andrew that's awesome. By the time I'm done you should have a good reference for sure. I plan to rewire the car and document that process like I did when I rewired my Jeep CJ7. Glad the videos can be of help and be sure to check out all in the series. Another update coming out in a few days. Thanks for the comment. JD.

what backspace is on the rear wheels?

I'm not 100% sure I remember but I think it is 4 inches or maybe 3.75. It was the less backspace option for the race start wheels. JD

4.5 inch back spacing and no rubbing yet. I haven't driven it much since I got the new tires/wheels but first couple of drives and nothing rubbed.

Hey Estafano! I'll show the shocks in an upcoming video. I believe they are just Monroe air shocks and while they hold air for a short period of time, they do leak down. I got some new springs for the rear to correct the drooping in the rear end and am replacing the shocks with non air shocks. All coming soon on the channel!

@@JDOffline Cool. I went 4.75 front on 8's and 5.5 on 9's in the back- havent put them on yet. so i'll be tucked a bit more than you- hope i dont rub. some reports suggest the axle isnt exactly centered from factory. and other internets talk about taking a hammer to a seat belt hump. since you didnt mention it, the factory lug studs were long enough? and are you concerned with the 40 year old studs surviving the fresh motor? maybe pressing fresh ones in when you upgrade brakes.. looking forward to more videos. thanks.
