i recently bought a 1980 camaro with the weirdest engine ive ever seen its a 4.4 liter V8 measures out to 267 was wondering what its worth and maybe a couple of good part sites i need a nose for the front end and cant find one anywhere

 

Original engine?
I didn't know they used those in Camaros,I think they were used in Monzas and some Olds Cutlass models and a few other GM cars no doubt.

 

Good old L39 V8. It could be from the factory like that. I think it packed 120 HP. There is a motor worth some money. Whats the scrap rate now?

 

well at least it's an easy 350 swap.

 

lol not wanting to replace like it how it is and going to try and keep it all original, i was just curious on current value since kelly blue book doesnt go back that far, and yes it is a factory original and was discontinued in 1982

 

I used to have a V8 Monza (can't believe I actually said that out loud...) I think that was a 262. it was an interesting engine to put in that lil car...

 

In terms of Value it is really hard to say. As a greneral rule non-Z28s from that era do not do well. I have seen some pretty nice all orginal non Z cars sits for sale for a very long time. Most purest love an all orginal car but very few will collect a 70's car with a 120hp.
We would need pictures and need to know the condition. If it has t-tops and is in amazing condition 3-4K would be my guess.

 

That's right,I forgot about the 262,a buddy of mine had a black Monza Spyder with a 262 4 spd,kind of a cool little car actually IMO.
Put a 383 in one of those and watch out baby!

 

well they sure were heavy lil cars... got rear ended real bad. totaled it out and bought me a '76 camaro. think it had a 305 in it (was sweet till it was rear ended and totalled out). after that I found out what the true meaning of lemon was when I bought a new (my first brand new car) cavalier Z24... I was sooooo happy when that POS was totalled out. swore off chevys for the longest time.

 

Lighter than a 2nd gen Camaro by 700-800lbs,about 2700lbs give or take a li'l depending on year and model.
Some had a 350 from the factory.
