350 H.O. Crate Engine

This an updated thread from my original Here. In my car I have a gm 350 h.o. crate engine, which I purchased from pace performance. All the specs are located here On it I have a holly 650 double pumper, hedman long tube headers, edelbrock performer intake manifold, and I’m sure some other stuff I’m missing. The body panels and interior are in decent shape but the body panels would need to be repainted. I put $3000 in to the engine about 2.5 years back but its been sitting for a little over a year now. The tranny (700r4) was slipping a little between shifts from the added power but still ran strong. Since the car sat for so, especially through a winter, the battery is completely shot and won’t hold a charge. It was my daily driver and my 305 started knocking so I put this engine in to replace it. I haven't been driving this car the past year because I picked up a truck for work. The car itself isn’t in the best shape but the engine rocks. I’d be willing to sell you everything (meaning the whole car) real cheap. It was a bad investment on my part. So my loss would be your gain. I probably still have the original receipts for everything. You could drive the car back to your house if you wanted but I cannot vouch for its reliability anymore, so you would have to do so at your own risk. This engine is very powerful and would be well worth it for someone looking for a nice low mileage engine. The whole setup easily has less than 10k miles. Let me know if you’re interested. You can have the entire car for $1200 because I really need to get it off my father’s property (I don’t have room). Also, if needed, I can trailer the car to your house for $1.50 a mile. Any other questions, feel free to ask

The car starts up fine and should be a direct swap for your camaro. I've never heard of ther starter being in 2 different places for chevy or pontiac but this is a chevy engine and its on the right side if i remember correctly (so was the stock 305 though).
