Ok Guys I Need HELP!!!

Ok i am new to the Camaro World. I just bought my 89 IROC-Z just last week and it needs an engine. It has the 350 5.7 V8 with the TPI. I have been calling the dealerships and they tell me that it was discontinued. What do I do?

Re: Ok Guys I Need HELP!!!

Why does it need an engine??

You do NOT want to pay dealership prices for this exercise..... Find a local shop that has a GOOD reputation, and ask them how much to drop in a good rebuilt motor.
