We removed the Camaro engine and transmission on Monday night. Later that week, I found out that he transmission in the Monte won't work with the Camaro engine, so we are going to race with the engine it has in it. Still don't know what it is, but it runs well. Prepping a car involves removing all the chrome, mouldings, trim and doorhandles on the outside, taking out the side and rear windows, and gutting the interior. Since the bench seat in the Monte is worthless on the track, we removed the passenger bucket from the Camaro (the driver's side is broken) and installed it on brackets welded to the floorpan. The stock gas tank is behind the rear axle, so by NEETS rules, that was removed and replaced by a marine outboard tank with an electric fuel pump.
Next we'll be getting the engine in running order and installing the rollcage. Art has some pictures taken with his cell phone, I'll try to get them online.
