305 or a 350?
im going to look at a 86 (supossibly iroc, im not sure) that a guy has got for sale at 700, and trans is bad and wiring to alt is bad, but the thing is, the guy doesnt know what size themotor is (i have know clue how), but its carbed, maybe a conversion, or either a crate, i just was wondering how i could tell the size of the motor when i go look at it

The only way you are going to know, for sure, is to run the casting numbers on the block. I cant tell you how many guys I know who thought they were buying a 350 and wound up with a 305. Be careful.
700 for a car with bad wiring AND a bad tranny? The body had better be in MINT condition.......

well, the tranny doesnt catch 1st sometimes, and its not holding a charge, somethings pullin on the battery im guessin cause the alt is fine, my friend had the same problem with his cobra and got it fixed easily

it is an auto, and as far as i know there was no carbed stock camaro 3rd gen, but i know you can convert them, so im not sure if that motor was converted, or if it was a crate put in later on, but im goin to take a look at it when im off vacation

he always is..
but its true, the older 3rd gens coulda come with a 2 bbl carb on it. the ONLY way to know for sure about what engine it is, is to run the numbers on the block. unless he has papers that say other wise, never believe that its a 350 just from hear say. always run numbers on cars like these.
