Yeah i had an idea the gears were not that great but im gonna pay like a bazillion dollars in gas to go from floridato Illinois when i come home on leave so ill take as highway friendly as possible

the guy that built the car did it and then gave it to his daughter he then realized it was to much for her and took the heads he had on it off and threw some other ones on and then took the carburator spacer off the bar

he said with the old heads it was 435hp

and now its 330hp

tell me what you think

pretty sweet, i would prob buy it, those oil leaks i normally wouldidentifybefor i buy anything just becauseif you cant physically see where its coming from it could be burning it and then you got more serious problems. im no pro, Imjust talking but i also agree that with those gears you wont be going anywhere fast but ifall you got to do is some gears and a valve cover gasket or something you could be in good shape!

THIS WAS THE DESCRIPTION

1985 Chevy Camaro. Good Points: PDL, PW, nice interior, Dakota digital dash cluster (retail $550), 350 motor bored 30 over, MSD ignition, Holly 750 Double Barrel carb. 334/490 2 in. intake valves, 194 exhaust (cam) fuely heads (ported and polished). Turbo 350 Transmission with hardened springs(for faster shifts),48xxx miles on the entire engine and drivetrain,256 rear end gears, Flow Master Exhaust(Sounds great).Runs like a champ, (built for power and speed but also geared for highway for better gas mileage. Bad points: little rust on door, battery tray, driver side pillar, and inside hood. Leaks a little oil (so little no need to add between oil changes), has 15" Cragger SS chrome rims, but some tarnish and rust (but clean still looks nice) some scrapes in paint, needs a paint job though. Windows go up and down but slow may need motor soon. CD player also.No A/C. This is a very reliable car, no problems. It has 47.999.7 miles on it.
