how do i find...?
I just got a '81 camaro with a 305 in it as a project car(free!!), but the research I've been doing leads me to believe that this motor is basically crap (170 hp?). I want to get maybe a 350 or 327, but I don't know the best(aka cheapest) places to look for a used one. I would like to be able to put a lot of my own sweat into it, so I'm not really looking for a crate motor, but I am a newbie so I don't want to get in over my head. Is there a commonly available package between a bare block and a crate motor? Is there a known place to buy good rebuildable blocks? Is the stuff at the junkyard okay? If so, where should I look.
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
