HA! I had to do the same thing. Well mine had a engine it was just shot so we ripped it out and put in another 305 from another Camaro. Well the Camaro was wrecked but the engine was good. Well not good being a 305 but worth 500 bucks. How much did the new engine cost you?

Well mine will be going under knife here soon so I'll have some pics to add Reminds me of when I had my whole interior torn out when I was redoing it. You looked at it and couldn't imagine it being back together, but it all works out at the end. Good pics.
