well he did change the oil countless times even though the miles were low. Break in shouldnt be too hard, add 10w40 NO SYNTHETIC. run it for a good half hour, dont go above 4,000 RPM, take care of it for a good month and you should be alright,

couple of questions
1. How did u find out about the car? Was it soley ebay, or was it posted on the For Sale ad in this forum?
2. How much did u buy it for

Enjoy the car

Cool Well ebay mostly, and the for sale on here was the second place i saw it.

well to put it to you this way the 91 camaro v6 that i have i payed 3800 for it two years ago and i spent about 5 dollars less then that on this car, but the shipping is going to make it a bit more.
Thanks for the tips though, i want to make sure i don't shock the engine by breaking it in a different way, do you know what kind of rings he has in this engine, and can you just slap a radio in there, or are the wires for it not there?

can you tell me anything else about the car, like how long he worked on it, it has like 50 miles on the engine, maybe more i'm not sure. but i don't know for how long i should baby the car. a month does sound good, and will there be a wiring harness for a radio in there? i know were to get the shifter plate for the interior.

anything at all would be great!~~

I believe there is a wiring harness on the car, He had a Pioneer system before the car was modified. As for the engine, I remember we did a complete Tune-up(for the hell of it) and oil change, My guess is, Just to recheck everything and you should be good to go. Car sounded nice, Did u look at it personally?

Hey 91_rs I see you're from centerville, i live about 5 minutes from there in waynesville, straight down Clyo Road. drop me a line sometime, we're building up a 85 iroc here in our garage if you wanna race sometime good luck with the new car. (i'm just assuming c-ville stands for centerville, thats what everyone i know calls it.........)
