Need Some Advice on a few misc. repairs needed
Hey guys, how's everyone doing?

I think I'm about to buy an '86 Camaro.. 350/700R4. Owner says that all it needs is a new heater core, transmission cable needs to be adjusted, and it needs tranny mounts?

How easy are these repairs? I'm more curious about the tranny mounts. Minor/Major repair?

Any info or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

The heater core is PTA, but doable. Check the following link for more info:

The trans mount will take less time than jacking the car up.

Well that was fast! Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like the tranny mount is a breeze, and the heater core doesn't look too bad, just tedious.

Where could I get a replacement tranny mount?
