Jeez, if that's the real deal, I'd ****** that up faster than a stripper at a dollar dance!

sbc= small block chevy

 

No I think you're getting an awful lot! That's a heck of a good deal!
SBC=small block Chevy!
BBC=big block Chevy

 

k u scared me for a minute there. the guy that has the motor ask what trany did i have in the car.now. i told him a 400 so he said give me a 1g and keep your trany cause he said mines is better being a 400. so we started talking into more detail and he tells me that he dose paint & body work so right away i ask for his email so i send him a bunch of pictures of the camaro and i tell him how much do to the paint body work i have all the materials for it. he goes he will do the who car for 900 to 1500 depending on how much cancer the car has, he will paint inside and out , the engine bay the trunk and under neat the car and that he will spray the floor with bedliner if i buy it all for the same price. and he said since i have all the materials except primer. just leave a deposit for the primer. and don't give him no money until the car is done. so i might get the whole car done for under 3gs what do you guys think. it will take him 10 days to finish everything

 

10 days??? That's a pretty aggressive timiline (just my .02). And $3K for the whole deal is a heck of a price. Be leary of deals that appear to be too good to be true.

 

Hmm. 1200 bucks is almost to good to be true. I wouldn't go for the short water pump though. Unless you have the right brackets to make it work. I count at least $600 for the rotating assembly. $200 for cam, lifters, and pushrods. Thats really low ballin it. Count another $200 for the intake. Thats a grand right there with no machine work and carb. Is it used? I also would be weary of ANY "ported and polished head' unless they had flow chart numbers right there for the heads I was buying. Just food for thought guy.

 

yeah i was thinking the same thing .he wanted 1500 at first so i drop the price but were also in recession and people are selling everything cheap. i told the guy if i buy the motor i want to see the heads of the block and the oil pan off. and he said it was fine, if wanted too he will tear the motor apart and build it front of me, so he could prove he wasn't there to rip me off. and also if he dose the body work on the car that i was more then welcome to be there to take pictures of the work and progress.

 

I'd still jump on this deal! Get it all in writing as to what's in the engine, then get his estimate of the bodywork and paint in writing, and once he's signed you're good to go. Will he clear coat and buff it out for that price, or just do the bodywork and spray it? Either way it's still a good deal if he'll sign an agreement.

 

he said clear coat, color sand , and buff, this guy work out his house, so he dosent have no over head. he works by refferals. i em going friday togo see his porfolio of work he has done.

 

Man, this deal pops up red flags. If this guy works out of his house then I'm guessing he didn't do the machine work himself. Did he assemble the engine, or did he find it all put together? I'd be asking lots of questions, like everyone is saying, seems too good to be true. What's the CR on this build, wall thickness on thrust side, is it a 10-20 block, Mexican, cam lift and duration, where are the rockers, blah blah blah?

 

ill ask him all that. i ask about the machine shop work and he said he has acces to a machine shop. i also found a couple engines on craigslist by other guys that works out there house.
