500 HP Camaro SS on PowerBlock!

It’s a Corvette disguised as a Camaro! This weekend on PowerBlock Courtney is joined by custom car builder John Wargo and his awesome 1968 Pro Touring Camaro SS. John is no stranger to The Block, and this is another wild build from John and his team at The Custom Shop in Flanagan, IL. They’re famous for touring cars and Corvettes, and John decided to marry them together in this build. It’s basically a 4-seat Camaro that drives and handles like a 2-seat Corvette! It’s got an LS-1 motor with a D-1-SC ProCharger that makes about 500 horsepower that stops with ZR-1 brakes and ZO-6 Wheels and exhales through a Magnaflow exhaust. The interior is Vette inspired too with C-4 seats; four of them, with a Mid-America stitched three-tone leather package. The paint color is Prospray “Pearl White” with “Speed Orange” stripes.

Check it out on PowerBlock June 15th and 16th.

"Gabriel, I was thinking of the same thing Paul S. put, but I would also check for a warped/bad flexplate or the pump is worn and the t/conv emphasizes it."

" Hot should leave the flasher as a purple wire and feed the column switch for turn signals. So check to see you have a 12v. hot at purple wire on the column connector. Brown is the hazzard flasher feed to column.  If you don't have…"

Overhauling a Automatic Transmission.

I have a 1991 S10 Blazer that I got from my grandpa in high school that I'm having trouble with. I blew a pump seal on the transmission and my plan now is to completely overhaul it thru and thru. Any tips or suggestions are helpful.
