Just saw one in a long block 4 bolt main on local CL for $80.

If you have a M22 you'd really know it! They don't sound like another 4 spd. going bad; they have a sound of their own. Not as noisey as a gear drive timing set, but definitely a sound of it's own.
Here's a web site to help ID your trans:

We get 5.3 ls motors used here for 500 or less all day. HotRod just bolted a ***** turbo on one with 150,000 miles. It made over 550HP, with a cam swap it went up to around 590. All for 3300 clams.

Put my parts online last night, posted the 350/muncie for $350. 6 people have already called from 8 to 11 wanting it, a guy is supposed to come get em tomorrow so now I only have $650 invested in the camaro lol.
But this will fund my welder and a couple pieces of sheet metal.

You'll need a regulator and hose. A bottle of gas, I have 75/25 CO2 to Argon. Solid core wire and a helmet and gloves.

I might wait on the mig set-up seems I'll be spending more on the stuff to set that up then on the welder lol. So what works best? a one bottle set-up like yours damon or a two bottle set-up? should I buy a used bottle and have it filled or buy bottles like these? Argon Gas Cylinder - 20 Cubic Ft.
20 Cubic Ft. CO2 Gas Cylinder
