So i stumbled across a 95 z28 for like 1700. It has a blown rod bearing, but the good news it that the entire top end has been rebuilt(lt4 cam and all of its goodies that go with it. Newish upraded tranny with goodies,and also has a full exaust and upgraded suspension all the way around.

my theory and question would be is it cheaper assuming the block isnt trashed to just change all the bearings and rework the crankshaft or buy a brand new block like such "http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250322013145&category= 33615&viewitem= " and just rebuild the motor from the ground up putting the lt4 kit from the old engine?

any suggestions? sort of limited budget, around 2800 after buying the camaro itself

 

definately cheaper to throw bearings at it and have the crank reworked if the block isn't trashed and relatively easy too. i would definately pick it up that is a very very good deal the parts alone are worth more.

 

If thats all thats wrong with it then you are getting a really good deal. The only problem is you don't know if thats all thats wrong. But its sounds like it would be a good deal even if you put a new block in there anyways.

 

with suspension work done and the top end yah itd be hard to turn down on my part..you can get a used block cheap worst case

 

thats pretty sweet. thats pretty much the same thing that happened to me. except i got the car for 500 bucks. it came with a true duel exhaust, upgraded suspension, nice sound system, and long tubes. now, i am gathering parts for a 355 build. the body was great, just a passenger fender.

 

why dont i just let everyone take a look at what hes got

It definitely seems like a steal if that's all that is wrong with it

 

Here's a bottom end for you:

dang, i think that is a good deal. just as long as you have the money to fix it up i guess. you might want to have extra money also for the other things that might be wrong with the car. good luck though.
