1983 camaro swap/build
my first build i bought a 1983 camaro, 350
cost was 400$
this is how the car was the first day i bought it
this was the interior
driver seat was broken when i bought it
rear hatch wouldnt open and leaked right above the tail lights and this was the result... also there were moldy towels and phone books,no pic
this was the "exhaust" that was on it, all different size piping "welded" together right on the manifold, one pipe was 3 inchs and the other was 2 inchs
now to the engine, he said it over heated and stopped working, i thought maybe a blown head gasket or sothing simple, during disasemble i found out the fan wires were not even attached to anthing and he was baffled on why it over heated.
well this is the engine during the dissasemble, the oil pan "gasket" was just silicon, yes thos are the crank beerings, the silicone clogged the oil pick up.
this is my oil pan, yes when i took it off there were metal shavings and a random spring.
also picks i didnt have,
-air cleaner was just sitting on the carb.
-gas line was relocated up under the radiator and over to the carb with 3 diffrent rubber gasline, copper line.
-hornets nest in the gas cap
-rusted wheels, front tires worn out first because the front shocks were from a truck wich made the car sit awkwardly
