Re: 1986 Camaro SC V6 red hardtop $7000

Looks like a clean 86. Since it is back on the market, you should provide more photos or at least re-post on Craigslist with a new link. Previously posted link is dead. GLWS

Re: Zz4 350 motor swap vs blueprint

A quick search turned up a new ZZ4 pt#24502609, MSRP $5427, discount price $4099 Based on those numbers, $3500 for a used ZZ4 sounds pretty high.
