v8 random-strike type question :P
 

My dad has an 82 Camaro, w/ the 2.8l v6 on a 4spd manual.

The engine is becoming troublesome. Anyone know if a 305 bolts to that trans?

Some pics of the car so you know what im talkin about.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

It all bolts right up.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

post this in the right section. :P


anyways, it should bolt right up. but do a 350, ---- a 305.
just my $.02

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Take that 350 and go with a 383 stroker

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

ya ya.. i guess this is a 'tech' question... but it has nothing relevant to what is the 'norm' at HMT.. so I thought a broader audiance would be better.. o well.

keep the answers coming. I want multiple "it does/doesn't"

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

My dad's not into building up cars. that car is bone stock except the stereo (4 speakers and a cd player, which i installed), and fog lights.

He'll only get a 350 stock, if a 305 isnt much cheaper.

he's just going to get a rebuilt motor, stock specs.

crx88si is back from the dead

PM'D your ass about some Canadian matters

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

305 is like a d15b7.... they aint worth a ----

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

That's dope. I'd look at how much a shop wants to charge for a rebuilt 350. You can get them from like Jeg's or Summit for like 1600 bucks. A basic 350 will be a lot of fun.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

I know for sure it bolts in. Almost all chevy engines/transmissions are compatible. You could throw in a straight 6 from the 70's or a mid 90's 350, either way the mounts and tranny should match.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

coo thanks guys.

ya.. year end is BUSY at work for me. :-\

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

But the year has just begun ;)

Where do you work?

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

I heard garbage dudes make mad dough.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

ya too much. $25/hr @ 12/day x 5 days a week.. SALARY. + OT

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

damn :o

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

----... I make $9 but I do nothing this time of year... Dollar for dollar I still think yours is better 8)

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

I saw my W2 this morning and cried. -even with my bonus it was sad. my bonus was 1/3 what i make in a year :-\

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Bolts up. Those V6's suck so bad. Have fun with the wiring :P

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

its a ------ carbd vehicle. how many wires, i think about 7.

dizzy, starter, 2 solonides, coil, and the choke if hes running electric and i think im missin one. (its been a few years :P)

all in a days work + a case of shitty beer. :D

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Yes sir, the basic 350's are lots of fun for the first little bit. I have one in my 84 camaro with a built Th400 and that has enough nuts to make the average joe smile. After a while you get used to it and want me. Thats why Im stroking her out. It ran mid 14's...Tranny was a big help

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Carbed? You sure? Last RS I worked on was FI.. did they switch to FI sometime in the F body years for the RS? I worked on a 1983 Camaro Z28, fuel injected, and an 89 Camaro RS, fuel injected...

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Actually it just doesnt "BOLT" up, you need to swap bell housings on the trans first. It's a different bolt pattern.

You will also need to use the clutch from the 6 cylinder.

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

thats fine about the clutch, it's a fairly new "Heavy duty"...

Bell housing swap.. lemme guess, a same era Z28 bell housing?

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Any SBC should do fine, I do believe. ;)

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

if you're going to put a bigger motor in it you might as well swap a trans with it also & rear end :/

but i guess if you wanna just get a motor in it that is a little more stout do motor/trans

buy a EFI 350 from a 90s truck. it would haul pretty good. those 350s are runners. you can get em for like $850 dollars with a 3 year/30k mile warrenty

Re:v8 random-strike type question :P
 

Is that the same color as your Crx?
