(93-96) Engine, chassis, whatever direction anyone can point me in. Thanks, Chris. I am specifacly building the Highway Masters SCCA Camaro and am in need of reference. Google sucks for this.

In-focus was a series where they took a car into a studio and did a great series of photo documenting the car. Sadly they dropped that feature. Also Motor Racing Motor News did a feature on it at some time in its brief run. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick6343 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Those are great photos! Thanks for posting them. I have a Mustang Trans-Am car on the bench, and ran into the same problem trying to find reference material. What I did find was that the real cars actually look a lot simpler than the kit. I believe that the Camaro kit was retooled from the '89-90 Trans-Am Mustangs, which were in turn retooled from the '85-87 IMSA GTO Mustangs. This is ok-they all used the popular Riley and Scott chassis. I'm guessing that the differences are due to the original IMSA GTO subjects being endurance racers as opposed to Trans-Am cars that ran sprint races. I'm planning on cleaning up a lot of the extraneous and molded-on stuff and hopefully building a more-accurate model. One thing I spent a lot of time on was trying to figure out oiling system plumbing. I've got it all worked out-but where is the dry-sump pump supposed to go??? There are pulleys for two accessories, but one of those looks to be for power steering and the other I assume is the alternator (not included in the kit, btw).

The pump would mount on the passenger side of the engine up against the pan rail. The drive is a belt off of the front of the crankshaft.
