New to the board with a new project
I bought this '82 Z28 off my wife's cousin a couple of months ago and just discovered this site so I thought I'd post some info about it. It was his daily driver for years but has been sitting for several years. Already installed is a 2000 SS rear w/ torsion diff, eibach pro springs, boxed a-arms & control arms w/ polyurethane bushings through out, Kenny Brown diamond frame connectors, aluminum driveshaft, MDS 6al, Edelbrock TES w/ typical rusted out y-pipe and probably some other odds and ends I'm not thinking of right now. Unistalled parts I got with it include a complete and new (never installed) 1LE brake set up, dual fan set up, new GM Serpentine set up, S&W 6 point cage, and a ton of other misc. 3rd gen parts (including some stuff I had sold him off my wrecked 1LE over 5 years ago!) It definitely needs some work and the trans is shot, but it's a pretty solid platform.
It has the factory SMC hood too...
