Hey Camaro Enthusiasts
I'm Sam and I've just bought my first camaro. It's an '87 with a blown carburated 305 and has all emissions controls stripped out. It also has a 5-speed manual tranny . Since it's carburated which gen do I belong in?

Since the engine doesn't work and because it's a putzy 305 I decided to buy a rebuilt 350. When I got the engine home and checked the stock numbers I learned that it's actually a small block 400. This could be good or bad what do you think? I've heard that I'll pay a ton for the flywheel that I need ):

 

you are in the correct generation, third gen is 82-92. sounds like you got a good deal on the sbc 400. as far as a flywheel, it may be a bit hard to find. i think the 400 uses a blanced flywheel, but i may be mistaken. a scrap yard would be a good place to find one.

 

The 400 is externally balanced so it will have to be a flywheel from a 400 exclusively.

 

...And a harmonic balancer for a 400, if it doesn't already have one.
Hmmm..let's see. 400 cubic inches, or 350? I'll take 400 to win Alex!

 

A blown 305? Now thats an exercise in futility........If you dont want that 400 Id gladly take it off your hands!

 

im thinking he means blown as in dead and not as in supercharged?

 

Thanks for your guy's help, I figured out my solution. Summit sells weights to bolt onto a flywheel to balance the 400 (:

 

Yeah, that would make more sense, wouldnt it...........
