I'm half tempted to go through and re-run a majority of the wires anyways. Previous owner left mysterious looms under the dashboard. Dozens of wires that go nowhere

Got it to start, no work and no tow. Security light turned itself off after about a second. Fuel leak has gotten worse though.

Fuel pipe still hadn't even been processed for shipping, and the rear glass broke the other day when I was trying to replace the hatch lift supports, the replacement there is $287.xx but on the bright side!
MY FRIEND IS SELLING ME A FULL 350 SMALL BLOCK FOR $300.
-Apex Aaron
Can anyone else say long term 383 build? Gotta get that built while I get the money gathered for the suspension components and uogrades, as well as getting the body fixed up a bit.
-Apex Aaron
no. it needs boost.
Boosted 383 wooooot
See, now someone understands meQuote:

for 500 bucks you can get a complete 5.3 engine. it will take more work to get it in and get it wired up and running, but there is so much more potential with an iron block 5.3 than a small block. there is nothing wrong with a small block and if you already had it, I would say go for it. but a boosted 5.3 will make 600 hp all day, while the small block is going to take a substantial amount more to make the same power.
Well my plan is more so auto cross, and track days, but still be able to run a 12 second 1/4mi.
So I'm thinking about 400hp and 450lb*ft of torque.

What's the 350 going in? I'm doing a 385 stroker with 69mm turbo in a 90 trans am.
you will be into an iron block 5.3 for a lot less than a small block to make that much power. take a look at this article

425 hp/425tq with heads and a cam and a tune.
But I don't have access to a 5.3 LS engine, but getting a full 350 for $300 sounds good to me
-Apex Aaron
The 350 will hopefully be getting rebuilt into a 383 stroker and when my 305 dies it'll replace itQuote:

I'll be honest, I've never been to one though, I have to look into it.
-Apex Aaron

Ik I am, but the closest one to my house is a good half hour

Fixed the fuel line leak on the Camaro, yay safety hazard prevention!
-Apex Aaron
Nice work, fuel leaks are never good
