Got the engine in and bolted down last night just need to install the starter, headers, exhaust, fan, radiator all the normal stuff. Set the timming put in the fluids and go. Hopefully. Been working on it since November all by myself and it's finally almost done.

 

nice, so how was it? Your first time, or had you done it before. Specs on the engine?

 

Let's see some pictures.

 

Its a GM Goodwrench 350 Crate used with about 52,000 miles on it. Not too sure of the specs. I will be running headers, and a edelbrock carb, with a vacuum advance disty. Because they where all ready on it.

The engine is stock not bored over or anything with a edelbrock performer for the time being.

I have done everything myself except for taking out the 305 and installing the 350 which my friend helped other then that I have done all the wrenching and installing and replaced all the gaskets on the 350 except the head gaskets. The bearings and everything where still good. It's a 4 bolt main which is good.

I will get pictures probably tomorrow after work.

 

i seeyou did what i did but i just cant get mine to start. i have a 83 camaro..swaped out the 305 for a 350.. went to a push button start.. holly 600 car,intake and headers.. i bolted everything on but now i can get it to turn over but not to start. i checked out the spark and i getting spark.i do notice that there is no fuel in my fillter by my car but i gues cus there is no suction so ui tryed to pour some fuel in the car and still nothing can u help???

 

I am not sure, mine would turn over but wouldn't fire up I found out that I got in a hurry and when I put my new double roller timing chain on I didn't line up the marks. There was no compression I just took everything off the front end reinstalled everything then put it back together. That might be it if you didn't touch the timing chain then your timing is probably off. The only wires I am running is for my Alternator, Starter, Battery, electric choke, and knock sensor. Check to see if you have Compression first then if not go through your plug wires and make sure they are on right.

 

So I got to drive my Camaro for the first time ever today well from my parents house to my apartment only about 2 maybe 3 miles. All I can say is its F***ing Fast . This thing is so freaking sweet. Still need to get some things done on it like dash lights so I can see whats going on and finish hooking up the exhaust just running it off the headers and y-pipe. Anyways since it's at my apartment now I will get pictures of it tomorrow since I have the next three days off. So happy. I will never get rid of this car.
