I recently bought a 79 camaro.trying to decifer as to wheather its a straight camaro or a Z or a Berlinetta. Besides that little tidbit i was told it has a 350,but the block #'s say its a 305.It was used previously as a drag car w/ some good size rubber in the rear,then sold to a buddy of mine.He bought it w/ a ping or a knock in it.So, ? is,do i tear down and rebuild knowing very little about the motor or do i go w/a crate motor.The body is solid along w/the frame and the interior is in need of an overhaul so i've already ripped that out!!So with that being said,i'm in for along haul but wanting and willing to turn this 79 into a screamer w/a little help from my fellow camaro lovers out there.
