Re: Junk Yard Treasures?
there isn't much that hasn't already been covered...
sway bars...
-93-97 had 30/17 combo
-98-02 had 28/15 combo
-Z28 have 30/19 combo
-1Le and cars with 1le parts have 32/21mm(you will likely never come across this in a junkyard) People that had these cars usually parted them out.
exhaust
-stock z28 catback, has dual mufflers and a bigger I-pipe
-tubular manifolds from I think 99-02 v6s
brakes
98+ brakes are bigger/better
Rear ends
-LSD, both auburn and zexels out there.
-upgrade to as high as 3.42 gears
wheels
-but most junkyards rape you for nice factory wheels(like $500 for a set of camaro 5-spokes without tires)
T-tops
-4th gen t-tops are expensive at junkyards, I have seen from $200-450 for 1 t-tops.
I bought 4 t-tops for less then $200 for all of them from guys parting out.
Driveshafts
1 piece steel on lt1s, and some ls1s(upgrade over 2 piece)
1 piece aluminum ones as well...
As for shocks? I wouldn't touch them. Wouldn't really trust a set of f-body shocks with more then 35k on them. Especially the work needed to do the fronts.
