thanks i just want to drive my car around and i don't want to go thru the hasle with the car like they way i did with the other local shop that did my brakes the first time

 

I actually think you made the right decision if your skill levels don't qualify you to do the work, and you don't feel comfortable trying to learn. Doing your first engine is a scarey thing. I know when I rebuilt my first engine at around 17 I was pretty worried and I could have made some major mistakes, as I got lucky not checking certain things like end gap on rings, and bearing clearances. Somehow I muddled through, just because I couldn't affford to pay anyone!
If you have the money, and can afford it, sounds like your best bet is to spend it.

 

thanks for the help and support to all you guys. I know money is tight right now, but thank god i have a nice job, . i have had this car for 4 to 5 month with out even driving it, been it was not reliable, but i will get her back in around , 10 days give or take, and ima driving her around. I will post pictures and updates when i get her back, by the way the guy from the shop called to today and said that i will need some nice headers cause i don't have none, he goes that the car will ride and feel better with some headers on it. do you guys recomend any decent ones.

 

I would go for something middle of the road pricewise. Also go with smaller tubes, as going too big can cause clearance and preformance issues. Will the guy install them and hook them to your present exhaust, or is he planning to install new pipes too? Don't forget to ask him about "extra fees" for additional work like headers and exhausts!
Here's a list of headers that are for your car:

Hell no that aint to much,Actually it sounds to good to be true....sbc=small block chevy....I'm not a fan of craigslist or ebay because i like to see what i'm buying

 

I had to go back a page and catch up. Given your location, I think you made a pretty good choice. Plus you got everything backed up in writing? Smart move.

 

true thats why i just went to a shop to get the motor done

 

thanks for all the info guys ill post some pictures when i get the car back.

 

ok just got a call from the shop they said the camaro is done. they kept there word it only took 14 days to get here done. so i'm going to pick it up tomorrow .

 

Great news! Let us know how you like it! Be sure to ask them about recommended breakin procedures!
