Author: Jeff Tann, ISBN: 9781613250143, Paperback, 176 pages, published in 2013 Install High-Performance Suspension Perform GM LS Engine Swap Install Big Brakes Upgrade Electrical System The second-generation Camaros are more than 30 years old, and since these cars rolled off the production line, automotive technology has improved by leaps and bounds. Modern suspension, brake, steering, and powertrain technology can be installed on these affordable classics, and as a result, they can be transformed into ultimate street-going cars. Author Jeff Tann shows you how to transform a bone-stock, second-generation Camaro or Firebird into an agile, refined, and fast muscle car that rivals brand-new-car performance. You learn how to install a set of tubular A-arms and coil-over shocks to greatly improve suspension performance and road holding. In addition, the book takes you through the process of bolting on large aftermarket disc brakes to vastly improve stopping power and vehicle safety. Tann covers welding in aftermarket wheel tubs to accommodate much larger tires for improved grip and safety. He reveals how to modify the frame to install a multi-link rear suspension. But that's just the start; Camaro Performance Projects: 1970-1981 also explains how to install subframe connectors and new gauges so you keep tabs on the engine's current condition, as well as the best heads and cams for a particular setup. If you've been looking for a comprehensive and authoritative guide for turning a common Camaro and Firebird into a high-performance street machine, you have it in your hands.
