Jeff94TA 05-09-2003, 02:40 PM Yes officer it's stock I just have a bad plug wire, yeah that's it a bad plug wire. Sounds very healthy Chuck :thumb: My rear shocks came in yesterday so I will install tonight and go break them in tomorrow. Wish you could be there. MustangEater82 05-09-2003, 05:09 PM hey chuck, are there any problems with that 3rd gen off hand? what are the mods, specs any imprtant data? I migh be interested in a new car to break, err... drive. 2002Z28SSConv 05-09-2003, 11:24 PM Originally posted by MustangEater82 hey chuck, are there any problems with that 3rd gen off hand? what are the mods, specs any imprtant data? I migh be interested in a new car to break, err... drive. Sorry Eric! I wouldn't sell it to you for $4,000. lol You break torque arms with a V6. I'm sure you'd find a way (I don't know how but I'm sure you would) to stand this torque monster on end and flip it over on its roof. Believe me! I don't want to scare potential buyers away. But this is definately not the car for you bud. There isn't a part in the drivetrain that is stock. Buying parts is fun when you go into Autozone and say,"I need a fuel pump for a 350 Chevy." Then they ask whats it going in and they say, that I meant 305. Then I have to explain that I think the motor's out of a 75 ElCamino. But some of the parts were from the Camaro and some were Frankensteined from other donors. A college student's bank book would get thin pretty quick.

I am getting weary of a lt1, ones I want usually have close to 100k on it, and I am thinking against spending that much for a used car with 100k. I figure reliable daily driver, that I will treat nicer and a second car for fun. I am looking to do a motor swap unless I can find a really cheap 350 tpi, and that part is already done on your car. I am also looking into mid to early 80s, Monte Carlos/Regals/Cutlasses, they seem to be dirt cheap, and v8 worthy with RWD. :) MustangEater82 05-09-2003, 11:59 PM by the way chuck some pics of my torque arm... http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118481 copy and paste the pics if they do not work got_hp? 05-10-2003, 03:41 PM run it! 2002Z28SSConv 05-10-2003, 04:11 PM Originally posted by got_hp? run it! :confused: ? :confused: It doesn't do well at the track because of the stock torque converter. By the time it gets into its power band, it's already been 3 seconds and the Civic next door is 5 car lengths ahead. got_hp? 05-10-2003, 04:55 PM ouch..........but it should still pass the civic easily! even without the converter, i dont see why it wouldnt run a high 12.

Yeah a friend of mine let me drive his cammed and ported headed 83 305 Firebird, probable a good low 15 second car bu has so much more potential with a better converter or jsut a manually tranny, it has a mean power band jsut the car does not ride it right, would be a solid 14s car, if not already a possible high 14s now. Put a high stall and make it a drag car if ya won't sell it to me.... I kinda want to start on a third gen from scratch but your price was nice :) I was thinking of picking up a 305 3rd gen, start prepping a 350 on the side, and juice the piss out of the 305 until i reach the limits and hopefully have the 350 ready. 2002Z28SSConv 05-13-2003, 02:43 AM What are you gonna do with a project car in your apt building? Don't they already give you a hard time for working on your present car? Honestly Eric, I'd sell it to whoever shows the green. Just don't believe you'll make a daily drivin' street deamon out of it. The only times I ever had it running really good when I went to OSW I broke stuff. Mucho torque. | ||
