Guest traub83 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 If I were you id look into finding an 80's camaro there cheap and some came with 350's and a t5 5 speed tranny... some camaros had the 305 in them also but still eather one would run nice in a Z and you could always add a lil nitrous to it and really start moving thats the easiest/cheapest way to go really.... Do you need a motor to build if so I may be able to help ya ona good small block... if ya need help just PM me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the absolute cheapest way too go? more cars than you can shake a stick at came with 350's since their introduction in 68, you might want to look for a big car or truck 350 from the early 70's because they have a higher nickel content (a good thing) and the heavy duty blocks have 4 bolt main (also a good thing). as far as your 5 speed thing, 80's camaro/firebird/s10 good luck and GETTER DONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissan-Fan Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Got mine from a 77 impala, 4barrell, 4bolt, (motor doesnt even smoke) 700cfm carb, high flow heads, and a TH350 Transmission all for $350 Canadian! haha, these engines are so common that its hard not to come across a good deal.

spdsk8r Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 My 350 came from a 91 GMC G-30 one ton van, with 30k on a rebuilt motor. I purchased it for $550, and removed what I needed. I sold the body for $150 and the 4L80e trans for $500. This gave me my motor, assorted parts, and $100 in my pocket. I gave the aluminum driveshaft to Grumpyvette for one of his projects. Look around, those deals are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
