Replacing camaro motor?

[sc0tty8]

Well I am by no means a chebby fan, but someone asked me to help them to get their mullet mobile running.

From what I know its a '92 with a 5 speed and 305, he said the motor is done and left it at that, said needs a new motor.

He has 1200$ to work with to get it running again, he said if the parts cost 600$ I get 600$, if it costs 900$ for parts, I get 300$, get it?

I haven't seen the car for myself yet, and from what I have seen on car-part.com a motor for the mullet mobile is about 700$.

The tpi 305's are 350$ from french lake, I am guessing they have a differant induction system on them? Part of me wants to do it to say I done it, and part of me wants to say no...I got all the tools I'd need...

what is the question? Its not hard

[sc0tty8]

The question is will the tpi motor, or, loing block, work in a mpi car? I am thinking the intake mani will need to be moved over...

throw a carbd motor on there and say the hell with it, a good friend doesnt give you a budget with parts, fuck him.

TPI motor with the TBI manifold should work fine. BTW swapping third gen Camaro motors, is very easy. If you end up doing this, I would be interested in the TPI setup.

[Spiral]

Yea, you could recover almost all costs if not all of the new motor by selling the TPI setup

The tpi 305's are 350$ from french lake

complete?

350 no question about it. I bought one w/ 60K for $400.

I don't know what else to say. It ain't gonna go too fast for $1200.

[sc0tty8]

He isn't after fast, he needs to get it running, it was his daily driver.

I haven't called FL to see what the motors are etc. Still debating if I want to do it, I got a lot of shit on my plate right now, have to buy a new car and deal with work and insurance.
