BBC in a 4th Gen Project
Ok guys im starting my BBC project in my 1996 camaro Z28. I will be doing write ups with pictures, also what parts I use. I ordered my k-member from PA racing and my headers from Lemons. They are being built as we speak. Motor specs on the way, i know its going to be a 496 Big Block around 640 Horse.

I will update when I can

Thanks,
Joe

Why not just buy Jerry's car and have a head start?

PA Racing K-Member didn't work out, so I went with BMR's K and theirs worked perfect. We made a custom bottom bracket to stand up the radiator up and fits perfect under my core support. Car should be done in a couple weeks.

Nice. More info on your 496? What are you doing about an air cleaner?
