I hate to contribute to the thread going off topic, but the Camaro will smoke if it sits for maybe four days. 3.4v6 in it. Would love to go with a 350, but maybe I should look at a rebuild. Need a new clutch as well. This one hates it when it gets cold and sometimes it does not want to go into gear.

That is pretty cool that if you are struggling with not missing a game you can go race and still have it on. Where else can you do that. No where that I know of.

I ordered a whole new steering setup for the mini today. Only cost me $20 for a HS-65 servo, servo saver, and bell clank assembly. Gotta love eBay.

I took a look on the parts locator for a 4.3l, i guessed at a 1996-1998 model. Looks like you are gonna spend between 700-1000$ for a used engine with 100-150k miles on it........

If its another year look here. Its the same system junk yards use.

Rebuilding might be the option. What year is it?

We have been looking at crate motors, but we're not sure on pricing though because the place closes at 4?!?!?
