if its going to be nothing but a strip car,,why not put it on a diet ( a poor mans H.P.)

with those 85 camaro's you can lose 300 lbs pretty easy..this will be good for 3/10th's or more
1- get ride of glass. go plexi glass
2- get ride of door regulators/crash bars and any other inner door parts not needed
3- take off crash bar on the front end,this is 50 to 70 lbs.
4- winshield wiper motor
5- seats
6- the sound protector beind carpet


and if you do not mind spending any extra $300/$400...go ahead and buy you a TUBLAR K-MEMBER and bolt that in...close to 100lbs savings here alone..

you could not possibly spend $300 on your motor and make up the ET the k-member alone will save you....


you get one light enough a Bone stock motor will get the job done....if i were in your shoes and had a stock motor..this is the route i would take,,you can really go extreme and start replacing steel bolts with aluminum bolts etc.....doesn't sound like a lot but you do this over the entire car you could shed off much weight with bolts ( in none critical areas of course)..

just my cents
