After having it hanging from the rafters in my garage, I finally moved it out to a friends place and got to work on it. It has been along time since the body has seen natural light, six years to be exact. I have got the Camaro front end in place and welded together. Next is getting the 1990 Trans-Am GTA and 4-link in the back.
The engine is a SBC 0.030" over, LT4 Hotcam, Vortec heads (all done up with stainless undercut valves and LT4 springs), Keith Black KB120 pistons and GMPP timing chain. I am still tossing between transmission options. It is either going to be a 700R4 or a Tremec T56 6spd standard.

Looks good. Keep the pics coming. I am almost ready to pick my sheetmetal up from the blaster and start putting it together.

So far it looks good.I would go with the 700R4 and a low ratio rear,4.11 or numerically higher.This would give you some snap from a stand still,and still have good cruising speed.
