Expensive day at the salvage yard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rauto13 · 04-02-2006, 11:22 PM

Got a bunch of stuff that I wanted but don't really need. This is what happens when you spend too much time reading this board. Too many ideas, a little wishful thinking, big hopes and dreams... etc.

Another set of wheels & tires, mine stick out too far to lower the truck any further, aluminum driveshaft (hope it fits), couple of distributors for a TPI swap (two to make one good one), brackets for a serpentine belt setup, late model alternator, under hood light from 90's Chevy pu., many misc nuts & bolts.

The rear axle I already had.

rauto13 · 04-02-2006, 11:25 PM

oh yeah and a complete rolled 94 Camaro for this....

LT1 engine, another 700R4 tranny, four wheel disk...

Kinda hard to get the mileage, as you can see, it was raining when I bought it, paid $500 for the whole car.

Unfortunatly right rear passenger didn't, hope it's not bad karma using the engine, tranny...

The guy was running from the police when it rolled.

shifty · 04-03-2006, 12:12 AM

tha'ts a wicked roll job for sure. man! good deal too, assuming it still runs after all that nonsense. killer deal. any plans on what to do with the engine?

I found the car at a tow yard, wrecker driver told me about the chase.

I haven't decided whether to put the engine in my 72 or in the 70 Camaro?

Anyone know quite a bit about the LT1 and how much it can be upgraded?

If I put it in the truck, I will leave it mostly stock, if it goes in the Camaro, it will be stroked to a 383 with roller drivetrain, headers, possibly even a blower. I am not sure how tuneable the LT1 fuel injection is for wild upgrades. I would also like to know about the heads and how much they flow, can be modified, if that is a good idea... way too many questions right now.

I need to do a lot of research before actually putting this in one or the other

72armyswbtruck · 04-03-2006, 12:58 AM

ClemsonChevy · 04-03-2006, 01:02 AM

Sorry to hijack the thread rauto

67ChevyRedneck · 04-03-2006, 08:03 AM

What year is the camaro? If it's a 94 or newer it will have a 4l60E, not a 700R4

(I think 93 was the last year of the 700R4)

68 short step · 04-03-2006, 08:18 AM

i didnt know pryor had a decent junkyard..... much less internet

....i was born there.....nice score

hotrodhomi · 04-03-2006, 10:05 AM

I would be concerned about the engine if the car took that much damage. Good luck

matthufham · 04-03-2006, 10:20 AM

Those wheels actually came off another rolled vehicle, you can't see much of it, but it is the blue truck in front of the Camaro in this pic. That was a nice truck before being rolled.

Awesome score on the LT1.

Ls1.com has a Lt1 section for your research.

So what's getting the TPI?

After talking to some people today, I think I am putting the LT1 in the 70 Camaro. I have been told that the LT1 will handle a lot more upgrades than a regular TPI. I will be putting the TPI on whichever one doesn't get the LT1. Which should be the 72 truck.
