If you do carbed, will it be a 383 like you mentioned earlier? That would be NICE!!! Nice little engines for the Camaros.

GOOD LUCK!

I was supposed to go look at that car last week. Is your first post a typo? His ad said it had a 350 in it. Good start.

No he had no clue about the car We bought it 2 weeks back. I looked up the block numbers it said it was a 305 2 bolt main from 1978-79. It ran like crap too.

yeah I've been looking for a car for months and it seems there are a lot of sellers that don't know anything about what they have, think their $14k car is a barret jackson car, or just seem totally unwilling to answer questions on the phone (which sucks because most cars are at least a 2 hr drive for me to look at).

Some lucky kid took those off me when I sold the motor. Those were the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Few updates.

Car is off at Settin Trendz up in Fresno, They are going to work their Magic on the Custom Fab things i wanted done, also paint.

Picked up a LS3 long block from a friend for practically nothing. The engine was in a 1960 Impala for a month then the car had a small electrical fire which the intake had melted and left crap all over the engine. I tore the heads off sent them to the media blaster and now getting ready to put it back together.

The engine was a GM Crate with the 480 Cam upgrade. Should be a decent starter engine.
