Default New Camaro owner in Utah

Just bought and will be bringing home on Friday a 1982 Camaro Sport Coupe. Nothing special as it has the Iron Duke engine in it and a 4 speed standard. Needs some work but it will be a DD and project car all at the same time, will be getting a V8 swap in a couple of years once I build one up..

Hoping to learn a lot from the people here as though I have loved Camaro's from being a kid this is my first one.

Here is a pic of her.

Awesome buy. Wow. An Iron Duke in a Camaro. I had no idea. lol. If you are a decent mechanic the swap shouldn't be too hard. However, if it were me I'd just buy a Camaro with the engine I already want in it. Then again, I am a weekend warrior mechanic. I am not a die hard gear head. Great buy dude.

Thanks, I wanted something that I could start fresh with when I did a swap. As I more that likely will not be putting a factory engine in her. Plus at the price of $500 it was hard to pass up.
