hi guys. i just introduced myself in the forum:

https://camaroforums.com/forum/new-members-area-95/first-v8-first-camaro-first-post-42568/

first of all, sorry for my english - its not my first language. i moved from europe to san juan in puerto rico and
even if i have experience in rebuilding engines and the entire car, a v8 is still new to me. its my first v8 and the car is nothing but original under the hood.

i bought a camaro and what i know are the folloing details:

its a 350, trnsmission turbo 350, tapas 370, headers, roller rockers scorpions and so on. the owner (his brother rebuilt the engine and everything else) told me something about double point. thats one of my first questions. i dont know what he mean because he said something aboout the crankshaft ( but he also dont speak good english) but i guess he ment camshaft. he also thinks that this engine, except the injection is from a corvette, im not quite sure but i asked him if it could be, because that car is REALLY fast for that weight.

the only problem i could find was something with the autom. transmission. it doesnt shift in the 2nd gear. it gets up to 4000-5000rpm and shifts, but it sounds like it shifts from 1 to 3 and the 2nd gear doesnt work. first he hoped it could just be a adjust problem because they changed all those parts with the engine but it seems more like there is a gear missing. i guess you guys agree. so since i dont like automatic - for me thats for womans and people who cant drive (also in europe nobody use standard), i would like to change that transmission to standard.

can anyone give me a link for some information how to do that step by step at this car? that would be great. maybe somebody here would like to exchange the transmissions as well. dont know if that could work but who knows.

i didnt had any time to get the car here yet and i only have some crappy pics in the dark with flash light, but maybe somebody can tell me some more about this engine looking at the pics. here the links:

oh and one pic from the car itself:

thank you for everybody taking the time to answer me and to help me finding out more about my new and first v8 project.
