Hi everyone, im 16 and i bought a 1986 camaro, i couldn't find rust on the frame and it was in pretty good condition, but the engine had a broken connecting rod, instead of rebuilding the carb. 305 i decided to buy an engine, seeing as i am doiing this by myself and i dont have much money i couldnt buy a big engine, so i found a 1985 monte carlo 305 H.O. that has been rebuilt to the point where it cant be upgraded anymore, the guy is going to sell it to me for 350$ so i already took the engine and transmission out(keeping the auto trans) and i want to paint it black and get a stereo and everything to get it running, i was wondering if someone could just give me tips on how to fix some problems how to check if somthing is bad and needs to be replaced. thanks

Marc
