I'll also start from the beginning; my builds were getting a bit out of hand imo...

Hey guys, I'd like to show you my daily: A 1971 Chevrolet Camaro. It is practically the base model which I bought when I got my license.


Looks like nothing special, right? But look at this:

Yep, a Chrysler 340. The previous owner must have installed it and it was running good until a few days ago when it started smoking and misfiring. Turned out to be one cylinder not having compression. No wonder, the engine has a jillion miles on it and is basically on its last legs. Since I work at an auto wrecker with a large yard, I have access to all kinds of parts for classic US cars. I will put a larger engine in it; Maybe a HEMI :D I also drive the wrecker and occasionaly a 70s ramp-truck so if anyone wants to check out the place: It's Joe's auto wrecking Just outside eastern Valo.

Update: I managed to dig up a perfectly good 440 Magnum 6-Pack for the Camaro!
