How much is a body kit for a 2010 chevy camaro? Also how much would it cost to put 4 mufflers in the camaro?|||why make the camaro look like crap.. their isn't a body kit that looks better.. however probably run around $1300 for a body kit.. and 4 muffler or 4 exhaust tips? adding 4 mufflers would make it flow like crap.. learn about how cars work first|||Just thought I'd point out the fact it's a muscle car and not a ricer. If you put a body kit on, look for something that isn't ridiculous like the **** they put on Civics, bumblebee from transformers 2 was tasteful.
Anyway, look at prices anywhere from 1300 to 2500 depending on the kit/material and components.|||Google body kit for a Camaro, there's not just "a" body kit for the car. Like LS1 said, why do that? It'll make it look like crap. Four mufflers? REALLY? Please go buy a Hon-duh and do that stuff.

What is the best hydraulic roller cam for a Chevy 383 street rod?
I am completely rebuilding a Chevy 383 motor from bare block and i wanted help on what is the best hydraulic cam that would take my motor all the way to the highest performance but still be able to drive it on the road because i want it really HOT but not just a strip car.|||There is no BEST camshaft for the SBC. The best camshaft would be the one that best fits your application.
Selecting the best camshaft for your application is almost a black art. Get it wrong and your high dollar engine is a dog. Get it right any you will be all smiles.
All camshafts are a compromise. They operate at their peak performance at a relatively narrow RPM range. A common mistake is to select a cam that is too hot for a street engine. For example you buy a cam that makes its best power in the 7000 RPM range. The problem is that how often do you run a street engine at 7000 RPM and for how long. You end up with an engine that performs like crap in the 3000 to 4000 RPM range and does really bad at the 2500 RPM range where your street engine runs 99.9% of the time.
The cam must also matched to the intake manifold and exhaust. These components are also tuned to operate best within a specific RPM range.
Other items that effect the camshaft selection are things like if you have an automatic or manual transmission, the differential gear ratio, the weight of the vehicle.
There is a program from Comp Cams called Cam Quest. You could use this program to help you. You fill in as many of the blanks as you can and the program will find the best cam for your application. You can even run your engine on a virtual Dyno to see how changes effect your engine. You don't necessarily have to buy their cam. You could use any cam with a similar grind from any other company. However their camshafts aren't bad.

What do my dashboard warning lights mean on my Chevy Cavalier?
I have a Chevy Cavalier 2004. There's a red symbol on the upper right-hand side and looks like a little red symbol with an arrow pointing down through the top of a box, then it shows some liquid in the bottom of the box. What does this mean? I never received a Manuel for this car.|||Go to GM.com and download an owners manual for your vehicle...it will explain all warning lights.|||Most likely, you need a new engine
How hard is it to clean injectors on 1994 Chevy Truck?
I have 1994 chevy pickup truck with early fuel injection. While looking for a vacuum leak I noticed one of the injectors dripping fuel. How hard is it to take that injector ssytem off and clean the injectors? What type of cleaner should I use? Or can I dump bottle of injector cleaner in the fuel tank first?|||this injector is called a multech. by adding a cleaner to this system all you are cleaning is the screen. gm designed these to be throw away injectors. they are very cheap new. just put a new one in.|||You should use a bottle of injector cleaner every 3-4 tanks of gas to keep your injectors clean. It is easier and cheaper than having to clean them, or to have them cleaned. Use STP fuel system cleaners, or a tank of Chevron gas. These are the best injector cleaners on the market. Fix the leak and use fuel/injector cleaner in the tank.

Can a 358 Chevy engine work in a 1972 dodge charger?
I was just wondering if a 358 Chevy engine would work in a 1972 Dodge Charger.|||I'm sure it can be done. The issue would be motor mounts and a bell housing adapter. You can find bell housing adapters at www.advanceadapters.com .The rest is just a matter of fit and wiring....provided you can find or make mounts....or use a chev trans! Good luck.|||Just telling us a '72 Charger doesn't give us enough info to determine very much. Assuming the tranny will bolt up, YES. Assuming the tranny won't bolt up, YES. Assuming the motor mounts won't line up, YES.
Seriously, I don't know if the motor will WORK, as in bolt right up, in your car or not. However, if you're asking CAN you put it in there, YES. You can put ANY engine into ANY car if you're willing to overcome the obstacles in your way like motor mounts, linkage differences and such. I've said this same thing numerous times on Answers, and I always offer the same example. With much hair pulling, fabrication, and just plain cussing, I once put a Ford 460 into an old Chevy Luv pickup.|||Sure, you can put any motor you want in a car, but its how much work you want to do to get it in there. You just gotta get motor mounts that will work for that motor and put a lot of work into the car to get them to work|||We put a man on the moon using 1960's technology. You can put a Chevrolet engine in a Dodge. It's a lot easier than putting a man on the moon.|||Yes, you can, but change your name to $$$$.
Why not use a MOPAR motor? 340's are great to work with, put out good power and are pretty much bullet proof.|||haha wtf no

What is the normal running temperature for a 99 chevy blazer before it is considered overheating?
i just had a heater core put in but it is still blowing cold air. one person says it is running hot and another one says it is normal. is 190 or 210 the correct normal running temperature for a 99 chevy blazer? what else could be causing the air to still be blowing cold instead of hot?|||ANY OF THOSE TEMPS ARE HOT ENOUGH TO MAKE THE HEAT BLOW HOT. THERE ARE TWO PARTS IN YOUR DASH TO CONTROL THE TEMP COMING OUT THE VENTS. ONE IS THE EVAPORATOR (MAKES IT COLD USING A.C.) AND THE OTHER IS THE HEATER CORE (MAKES IT HOT). THERE IS A DOOR BETWEEN THE TWO THAT IS CONTROLLED BY AN ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR. WHEN YOU PUT THE CONTROL ON HOT THE DOOR CLOSES OFF THE EVAPORATOR, AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON COLD, IT SHUTS OFF THE AIR FROM THE HEATER CORE. YOUR PROBLEM COULD BE THE HEATER CONTROL ASSEMBLY NOT SENDING THE SIGNAL TO THAT ACTUATOR, OR THE ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE. USE A TEST LIGHT AT THE CONNECTOR TO THE ACTUATOR. IF IT LIGHTS UP WHEN YOU SLIDE THE CONTROL FROM HOT TO COLD, THE CONTROL IS SENDING THE SIGNAL AND THE ACTUATOR IS BAD. IF THE LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP, REPLACE THE CONTROL ASSEMBLY.|||completely depends upon the temperature of thermostat that is installed... 190 192 195 are all thermostat temps I have come across... so 210 might be very slightly high... also are you going by the factory temp gauge or professional shop one... factory gauges can be off this small amount...

How many Chevy Chevettes are left in this world? And are they good on gas?
I saw one the other day, it was in great shape.....It was that chevy light blue from the 70's.|||Chevy Chevettes were made from 1976 - 1987.
I personally have owned 7 Chevettes. Chevettes worst problems were these: floor would rust out, and shock towers would rust out. I've learned how to replace both. Timing belts weren't to bad but the secret w/ them was not to over tighten the belts or they would fail very early. Gas mileage w/ automatics was about 25 city 30 hwy, 4 speed cars was about 27 city and 35-40 mpg hwy. It would depend on what final gears you had in the rear end. Basically good cars but you just couldn't run the pee out of them continuously. They were like any other car, they had there bad days too.|||They actually weren't too bad on gas (40+ mpg), and they never had a problem with exploding when hit because the fuel tank was tucked within the unibody rails. (Pintos had the reputation for exploding, which was blown out of proportion by the media). They were not the most reliable cars sometimes, and were butt ugly and had less power than most electric bicycles, but there are still lots of them around. Some weekend off-road rally racers like them because they are cheap, light, rear drive, and can carry a monster motor.|||I remember replacing a lot of timing belts and crankshaft bolts but other than that it was not to bad a car for that era.the power is not to great and comfort is at a minimum.30 mpg,s is about average with automatic ,higher if equipped with stick.|||I don't the first answer. But I owned one when they were new. They suck. They break down a lot. Stuff I've never seen break would break (like the door hinge). The only thing good about the car is that it is so low tech that it can be fixed fairly easily. And you will need to fix it often.
And the engine is weaker than my grandma.
I would rather buy a good used Civic.
Good Luck...|||OMG, I used to run around in one of those in the late 70's early 80's! We had so much fun in that little car. I don't know how they are on fuel though. Doesn't the high price of gas just suck? The oil companies wont finish until they have broken every ones back!|||Anything that old is bad on gas.|||those cars have a nasty reputation of exploding during a accident.

How many miles do you have on your Chevy Cobalt?
I'm thinking about purchasing a used chevy cobalt and was wondering how many miles other cobalt owners have gotten to. Thanks.|||I've got 33k miles on my 08 SS/TC. I've only had 2 problems with mine in about 2 years.

2. The rear inside pads destroyed my rotor at around 22k miles. This seems to be a common problem with the turbocharged Cobalts where the inside pad drags causing uneven wear. Mine were worn evenly and still had about half the pad left. Got them replaced under warranty. The new ones have no grooving.

What kinds of features are included in a Chevy Police package?
Im looking to buy either a 2000 or 2004 chevy impala with a police package? what features do they have? stability control?|||Having worked in Law Enforcement for years, the Impala police package is not worth it. The cars themselves were throw away cars so add a group of guys that drive balls to the wall most of the day and the extra's that they add for the package get beat harder then a stock car. The Caprice or Crown Vic are MUCH better choices if you have your heart set on a police package car they are built alittle stronger. My Dept sells their cars on a regular basis for cheap money so they are out there. I f you do opt for an ex-cruiser I would go with an ex unmarked Detective car, they tend to be cleaner and less beat.|||Rebel that would be bars on the window %26amp; divider|||Wow - they'll let you buy it WITH the package?? They usually take everything off when they do that.....the biggest thing is the pursuit motor..are you going to have that? Lights? Extra antennas? I really doubt they'll leave a police radio in it...cage in the back....|||Beefed up cooling system. Bigger alternator to run the extra lights, sirens, computers. Extra wiring in place to hook the extra lights up.|||i dont think they can sell with the police packages because if they did then if people bought the cars they can get away from the police...well anyways we have a police interceptor car dealership in my town and none of them have the police package|||"It's got a cop motor, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks.

Q: What sort of optional equipment can you get on the 9C1 Caprice/Impala?
A: Caprice/Impala 9C1 Options RPO Code Descriptions Price
9C1 Police package $1,159
LT1 5.7L engine $325
QQG R4Y "V" Rated Goodyear P235/70R15 tires $64
6N1 Inside Driver Door Handle releases Lock $20

8X3 Bilstien shocks $275
7X7 Dual Spotlamps $250
Grand Total $2,590
Q: What's a 9C1 option? What does it do?
A: The police package is available on the Caprice for $1159 (1994, and probably 1995, too). You get a whole slew of police-edition specific equipment, much of which also goes on the Impala. However, the Impala does not get all of the special heavy duty equipment of the police package Caprice. It's generally cheaper to get an Impala and add on the missing equipment than to get the Caprice and bring it up to Impala standards, though.

How do you do a burnout in a chevy prizm?
I have a Chevy Prizm, front wheel drive, and was wondering how to do a burnout in it.

What is the timing degree on a 350 chevy engine?
I have a 1987 Chevy Truck, need to set timeing, not sure where the timeing needs to be set.|||I own a shop, and can tell you this; You must go by the tag on the front of the radiator shroud, or the hood. If it is missing, then set it at 8-10 degrees with the connector unhooked under the dash behind the glove box (brown wire) that is by itself. Pull the plug apart, and don't forget to put it back when you are done. Run the engine till its at operating temperature, shut off engine, remove/unplug from brown wire, start the engine, set the timing, stop the engine, torque the hold down bolt to distributor, start engine %26amp; recheck timing, if good, stop engine, and replace/connect on brown wire. If you have a check engine light on, you can either wait to see if it goes out on its own, or remove (-) battery cable. I would wait due to loosing radio presets, and/or other things. It should go off in about 10 minutes or less on its own. Don't set your timing at anything other than what it calls for. Giving it just a little more timing doesn't help. This is because the computer controls the ignition timing anyway after the engine comes up to operating temperature.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!|||Most of the 350 that are fuel injected by means of a TBI unit have a base timing of 0 degrees although I always tried to get more by means of giving the base timing about 2 to 4 degrees before top dead center. I am assuming you have a PCM which controls a TBI fuel injection system. To set the base timing on these you first have to disconnect the timing connector that goes from the distributor back to the PCM. This is usually a brown wire with a white stipe on it. The connector for it is usually located close to or mounted on the firewall or under the dash on the passenger side. In either case it is normally concealed, but by now someone must have tried to time the truck so it should be hanging close to these areas. Once you have located this connector, run the truck to operating temp. with a timing light connected. Then when the motor is close to operating temp, unplug the one wire connector. The check engine light will come on but don't worry about that. Now aim the timing light directly down behind the water pump and set the base timing. Once happy, turn motor off. Reconnect the wire connector. Start the truck and confirm the check engine light went off, or clear the code by disconnecting the battery. It will clear by itself in time.

What is the gas mileage on a 1970 Chevy Impala?
I'm doing a project in my business class and we have to figure out the cost of a car. I found a really nicely kept 1970 Chevy Impala with a 350 v8 automatic. However, we need to find out the cost of gas per month and to figure out the approximate cost of gas, I need to figure out the gas mileage on the Impala, but I can't find it. Any help?|||I would say around 15 mpg|||These cars when driven normally would achieve about 12 to 14 mpg when new. Are you trying to determine what it costs in 2009 dollars or 1970 dollars? If 1970 these cars ran on leaded regular gas that sold for around 29 to 30 cents per gallon. I believe IRS allowed a mileage credit of 22 cents per mile.
IF this project is in today's dollars then of course the cost is much different.
Car will still get about the same millage if properly tuned. Fuel costs should be about 2.25/gal. IRS today allows 57cents per mile credit.
Fuel tanks on the 1970 Impala were 20 Gals.
20 gals of fuel @14miles per gal=280 Miles per tank of gas times .22 cents per mile operating cost =$61.20 cents operating cost in 1970 dollars
For 2010--Now its up to you to determine 2009 costs as well as HOW much Gas per month you would use.
Hope this helps.|||im estimating the car might get 17/18 mpg. cars from the 70s didnt care about gas milage|||12 in town 16 hyway...if you drive easy...i had a 69 350 auto [pg] i never got over 16.7 [only hit that once]

Will a chevy 350ci pass smog in a 1985 toyota pickup in California?
I understand that 1985 is not a smog exempt year, but there are chevy 350's that do pass smog with the right equipment. By mixing an asian truck and american engine, will it pass?|||As far as i was told you can not put your engine choice in a toyota and pass smog... your best bet is to talk to a local smog shop.

Good Luck!|||I'm not from California but.
My guess is you will have to pass based on the year of your engine or the year of the truck. either way it may be difficult to tell. I would make sure what ever the original engine had on it for pollution controls your 350 will need it too.

He is correct, and worrying about economy on these trucks is pointless, as carb or EFI they net almost identical.
Weight and aerodynamics are the problem. Stock MPG for the 80's (pre-TBI) trucks are quite close to trucks made today, with similar size engines.
If it really bugs you, buying a 1981-1986 truck and retrofitting the still-plentiful TBI from a 1987+ Chev truck is not that difficult, and likely more easy than trying to find the one-year only standard cab TBI, if thats what you want.
Blazers, Crew Cabs, Cab/chassis, and Suburbans were the same body until 1991, and of course all TBI.|||chevy came out with a tbi or throttle body injection set up in 87 it actually bolted to the manifold much like a carb, and used the same air filter set up as the carb models, at least the v8 models however were not known for much in the way of gas mileage improvements, the Throttle body injection set up was pretty simple by todays standards, It did give great power, was durable and dependable and having had carbs, and tbi injected v8 I like the tbi much better than the early carbs. Later when they went to the vortech motor, the multi port fuel injection was better on fuel economy and power, but it was also much more complicated, therefore more prone to problems, and some years like 98 and 99 were not the best ones. (although anything still running around now is probably fine, as the weak and crappy set ups are long gone. If you are looking for power and fuel mileage, I gotta tell you that toyota 22r or nissan high performance four cylinder was a way better and far more durable than any chevy motor (other than a v8 of course) I had a early 80s nissan king cab pickup with a high performance dual plugs per cylinder, 4 valve per cylinder tied to a 280 z 5 speed transmission that was one little butt kicker of a truck. and it got great fuel mileage. It was dirt cheap, since it had no reverse, and for the couple hundred bucks that was all I had at the time, the greatest deal ever. (you just had to put your foot out the door with your passengers foot helping and push it backwards) but hey, after awhile, I started parking so I did not have to back up at all!!)
Chevy does not have any 4 cylinder motors that can compare to that as far as I know. I have always been a v8 large pickup or van guy anyhow, so fuel mileage was something you don't get much of in a v8.but figure out what you are looking for, by doing what you are doing know, ask questions, research what things you find interesting, If money and fuel mileage are important issues now, then go find a nice nissan king cab pickup with a four banger to save money on fuel,and while saving money for your perfect Chevy pick up, drive something that has a dependable long lasting reputation until you get enough money to set up your chevy pick up the way you want. chevy has the 5.3 v8 now in the new trucks, this is a 327 v8 the 327 has long been my favorite chevy small block for power and torque put one of these in a small early 80s s10 and you will have a perfect little sleeper pickup and the fuel mileage will be good, and have enough power to fry tires, or put on the traction control and launch off the line fast enough to change your heartbeat, best of luck.|||1987 on the chevy/gmc trucks. Throttle body injection (TBI). Its a unit that looks kinda like a carb but the throttle body is only the air intake, in top of the throttle body has 2 fuel injectors mounted
This system really will not be much if any better on fuel mileage than a std. carb. Atleast with a carb, you can pull it apart and change some $6 jets or metering rods and lean it out some to help fuel mileage
EFI systems didnt really improve on the trucks untill the 1996 and newer vortec engines|||87 on full size trucks. The s-10's had tbi v-6 in 86.

What was the song playing in the original Chevy Cobalt commercials?
The commercials that Chevy aired when the Cobalt first came out (e.g. the ball that the Cobalt's were playing with) were playing a song in the background. I want to know the title so I could download the song.|||If it's the commercial I think it is, then it's a song called "Woo Hoo" by the 5.6.7.8's, an all-female japanese surf rock band.
The song was also featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill Vol.1, during the one of the final fight scenes. You can find the song on the film's soundtrack.

Will the chevy cobalt sedan taillights fit in my 08 pontiac g5?
They don't make any aftermarket taillights for my g5... It sucks. I want led taillights with clear lenses and a black backing. Will the chevy cobalt sedan lights fit? Cause they look similar.|||Yes they should fit if you get the cobalt sedan taillights the coupe has corvette inspired lights.

How to adjust the emergancy break on a chevy dumptruck?
I have a 06 Chevy 3500 dump-truck with the 6.6 duramax and i wanna know how to adjust the emergancy break|||If the emergency brake is a handle ,on the end where you grasp it there is a knob that you turn to adjust.If its a foot pedal then you need to get under the truck and locate the emergency brake cable and there will be a point where the cable divides into two cables.One going to each rear wheel.At this junction point where the cable splits there should be a long bolt connected to the assembly.That is your adjustment point.|||you probably dont need to adjust the cables.
you probably need to jack it up in the rear and pull off the wheels and the brake rotor and replace the inner emergency brake shoes.
those huge brake rotors will not only have the primary outer caliper/pad setup, but inside the middle they will have basically a drum brake setup for the emergency brake. those shoes are probably worn down.

How and where do i get a nice exhaust that has deep sound for chevy beretta?
How and where do i get a nice exhaust that has deep sound for 1996 chevy beretta?|||Go to a muffler shop and ask them to remove the muffler(s) and replace them with straight pipe. This will leave your cats to muffle the sound. Also have them install the largest diameter chrome tip that will fit (preferably a long one14" or longer and 3 1/2 or 4" diameter). It will tickle your toes. If your car is V-6, have them split the exhaust and run duals out the back as described above.|||dam dude thats a dinosaur hmm try pepboys thats ur best shot or autozone|||You can't.You need a V8 to do that. All you will end up with is a buzz bomb.|||they make tons of mufflers for cars including this one. you want a american rumbling sound car you goto autozone and spend 20 on a turbo muffle their cheap and louder than flowmaster and my bro used this on a v8 with single exaust it sounded better than and louder than flowmaster using one with single exaust. or there is the rice rocket family hondas and yotas and so on they work on yours too. but muffler and clamp cut it off right infront of muffle and slip on new one and clamp it simple to do. no need for shop or exspenise parts and labor.|||try a borla muffler that will give you a little lower tone.
What automatic transmission would a 70's Chevy automatic truck have?
I know this is a vague question, but thats all the info I have right now. Its a 70's model Chevy truck automatic with a 350 in it.|||If I had to guess I would say the 350T trans. That's what GM used in most of their V8s during that period.|||350 turbo or 400 turbo there is a tag on it that will tell you|||Most likely a TH350 or possibly a TH400. If it is a very early 70's truck it could be a Powerglide, but they stooped making those after 1973. An easy way to tell a Powerglide, the shift selector will me marked P-R-N-D-L instead of P-R-N-D-2-L, Powerglides are only two speed trannys.
Edit: here is a chart that shows different Chevrolet trans pan gaskets for identification purposes. http://media.photobucket.com/image/ident鈥?/a>|||One easy way to tell - look at the pan - if it is square with one end at a little angle , it is a Turbo 350 . If it looks kinda like a funky state of texas , it is a Turbo 400 . Now if you need to get another one , you will need that info plus the length of the tailshaft - they had 3 different lengths .|||most likely TH400
I am not sure about the long/short shaft.|||more than likely it has a turbo 350 tranny but some trucks used the turbo 400 tranny, either way both tranny's will work in your camaro, the turbo 400 is a better, heavier duty tranny.

How to reset oil change message in a Chevy Impala 03 after oil change?
I took my car a Chevy Impala 03 to get the oil changed and the shop that changes the oil always resets the sensor. The shop didn't reset it this time, so my car keeps giving me the message to change the oil. Does anyone know how I would reset this?|||turn the key on, without stating the car, press the gas pedal to the floor three times. That should reset it. Works on my 30 truck anyway. Hope this helps.|||go back to the shop and ask them to re set it.|||look in the maintenance section of the user manual. it should tell you how. It will have odd steps. for example, my dads van you have to turn the car off, turn the ignition on, slowly press the gas all the way down, then fast, then hit the brake twice...it will sound something like that|||luke is right... all GM vehicles reset that way. Turn key to on position and pump pedal 3 times within 5 seconds and that resets oil light. Sometimes you may have to do it twice . But that is the correct way.|||You got two right answers that left out the same thing...turn the switch to the "ON" position, press the gas three times quick to the floor...Then Start It.
How much would it cost to rebuild my chevy camero 2010 engine with a turbo charger so i can have a 1000hp?
How much would it cost to rebuild my chevy camero 2010 engine with a turbo charger so i can have a 1000hp? Also how much is a body kit.|||Well just a turbo wont get you to a 1000 hp and I agree with Scott 30-50 k is not that far off since there is no enginering on how well the engine will stand up to a 1000 hp build and all the parts would be custom and you will need all the softwear in the ECM to be remapped for the fuel mixture when in and out of boost and at what psi. just the rewrite work on something that new would run you about 7-10 grand|||The transmission and suspension won't handle that much torque. You'd have to gut the car...so 30-50,000.|||Maybe after you get one and learn how to spell Camaro, you'll see how fast it really is and won't need a 1000hp turbo'd engine.|||You want a super charger and not a turbo charger.....
