So basically I could have a nice camaro for a total of like 1500 bucks.

The motor wouldnt stay stockish I would Have big plans for it and want to be a 12 sec car....maybe some 11s on n2o ...I would abviously build the drivetrain like aluminum shaft, gears, stickies etc


Let me know what u guys think!!!

that motor is being sold because it's scrap. Plan on a $1000 rebuild on it, minimum. Probably closer to $2000 if you want to use nitrous, or go fast in general, and have it run half way reliably. I wouldn't even touch it, 'cuz even after you dump a pile of cash into it to get it running fast, it's still only a 327 (less cubes), and the parts that you can re-use on it, aren't great.
Lets not get into the 327vs350 arguement, and lets not even bring up the fact it went 13.2 in A BEETLE. My is to skip that motor.


Car sounds ok.

Tranny, that won't have the torque arm mount correct? You'd need a new tailshaft from a different trans. Not sure how easy that is. Ie if you can get one from a very common V-6 3rd gen TH700-R4 in the wrecker, and use that. Or if it'd be more difficult. Wait for a more knowledgeable answer on this one.

It kinda sounds like you're a mcdonalds parking lot racer. Just a vibe I guess, $1500 and plans on going 11's... Kinda makes me uneasy.

Sorry to rain on your parade eh?

 

Well I wasnt expecting to run 11s on a big shot without money into the car thats forsure..The car will be a project for the next year or two.
I went and looked deeper into the car and I think Im gonna pass bc he ended up ripping the dash out completly, steering etc.
Body is straight but some rot in the wheel wells.

oh well I will continue to look.
i am gonna search for the # for a 82 firebird with a 350 swap already done to it.
