?? If you need help with the website, please email me. The only SS class for that combination using the original engine is SS/P at 2720 lbs w/driver.

Well if you want to run SS then look up an 87 305/205/235. THAT is one bad SS car! And as I recall, it's stick only. It makes SS/K-L-M as a base car or a Formula and gets into SS/N as a Trans-Am.

Thanks guys for the help Billie that's what I ran at the end was the 305 yes a great combo but I guess I'm just wanting to try something different. I'll keep you guys posted as I start this build should be fun

Yes Steve I tried to quit also but just can't seem to shake this habit! Hard to believe it's been 25 years since I bought your old Camaro. I met the guy you purchased the car from in Topeka last year. He could not believe it still existed!
I still have some old parts around here from that 277" motor you had in the car if you wan't to run old school modified!!

Hey Jim yes it's hard to believe it's been that long and to think I was trying to stop back then I think that the only thing I'm going to give up for now on is the idea that I will stop racing lol I don't think I better try the 277 again trying to do this on a budget. I think I can do the v6 with stocker style suspension small tires and a stick. Maybe I'm crazy but it does sound fun
