Hello guys im a new member in this forum i was recently given an 86 trans am with the v8 305 ..i have allways loved this cars but my main concern is that the car is missing lots of parts from the engine like hoses and stuff so im woundering if someone would be able to point out some the the stuff i need and if possible where to get those parts ..here are some pictures....thanx for any tips ....gracias.

 

wow your missing almost everything!!!!
from a quick glance, i noticed that theres no alternator, no water pump, and the belts are all missing!

i would first suggest maybe a new engine? thats just me tho
----------
never mind i spotted the water pump, just missin the belts... try a site like fbodymotorsports for alot of oem parts

i think with a little work this could be a sweet ride, any auto mechanic shop will be able to replace all the vacuum lines for you and maybe give you a quick tune up, autozone or w/e will have the belts for you, fbodyms has replacement alternators and other bolt ons, and w/e else you think you need the mechanics will be able to assist you

 

yeah im missing almost everything like u said man .....but i notice that many of those cars have a bunch of hoses allover the place ...are all of them needed for the car to run????

 

many of them are crap emissions things that you dont really need unless you plan on bring your car to inspection, i know that the 2 hoses that run along the front on top of the fan cover are for the ac compressor, so if you want ac, then youll need those, i dont recommend it... the only real hoses you need are the small ones that run up near the carb and in the back by the distributor
----------
oh yeah and duh, my bad, the ones that run into the intake manifold and such, a qualified mechanic will be able to run you by what you need

 

From the looks of it, you're missing pretty much every vacuum hose, emissions equipment, most of the electrical stuff, coolant line, etc. The motor itself could probably use a tear down and inspection - it looks rather weathered.

I think it would be easier (depending on how mechanically inclined you are) to just go ahead and remove every component under the hood and build up from the barebone engine. If you're good with cars, you could probably study hose routings, electrical wiring diagrams, etc, and figure out what you're missing.
