First off its a engine not a motor and second why do you want to know how much you can get for it? it is a beautiful piece of muscle so keep it. The fastest and easiest way to get hp is to do a cold air intake. The best way is to add a supercharger but you are looking at over 6k easly for a good one of those. so a cam is usually a good spot to start.

So wait, you want to do some modifications, and then sell it? You won't get back the money you would have just put into it. And you would have to spend a bit of money to make that 305 perform semi-decent. Just a cam isn't going to do a whole hell of a lot because the intake runner design on your heads are chokers, and they can't be made better. If you need to sell the car, sell it the way it is. To get the most for it, the best you can do is get the car in as nice a shape as possible.

You dont make alot of sense. Soooo are you selling it or not, make up your mind. Cam it up first. Then redo the exhaust, and stop killing deers plz.

P.s. Nice sig JR

I'm corn-fused. You first asked about what the Camaro is worth because you can't stuff any deer corpses in the car. Then you don't want to sell it? If you're even considering selling it, don't waste putting a lot of extra money into the car. If you want to put a cam in it, fine. But to allow the engine to breathe and make a noticeable difference, headers, better flowing exhaust, and different heads are wanted.
