1989 LT1 350 Z28/ OHIO
I have a 1989 Z-28 Camaro with T-tops, with the 350 Corvette engine with Electronic fuel injection, Vortec Heads, Edelbrock competetion headers. aftermarket Cam, Cragar Rims.
4:10 Posi Rear End. there is no heater . for a heater to fit. tail lights dont work as running lights. dash lights dont work. rpm gauge dont work, fuel gauge dont work. when car sits over night sum times the battery dies. the tires are bald, paint is faded on the hood and part of the hatch lid. ONE OF CYLINDERS HAS BLOWN, TRANNY WONT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND, ALL BELTS HAVE CAME OFF THE MOTOR.
this car was super *** fast! it will smoke anything. my car was the baddest/fastest car at my school. it has a cherry bomb glasspack muffler and it sounds mean and loud!
located in Warren, Ohio 44483.
$800 OR TRADE FOR VECHICLE THAT IS DRIVABLE.

Ok, not that I care, but if someone is acctually considering buying this:
A fast car with bald tires = retard.
Instead of listing stuff that doesn't work, list stuff that does.
That is in no way an LT1 vette motor.
And there are no headers on the maret that don't allaow you to have heat. Thats just rediculouse.
I have Hooker long tubes on a motor that makes 500 Hp and I have PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MY HEATER...
I later rip it out, just to clean up the engine bay, and give a sleeker look. I can't believe you are saying it has no heat due to the MASSIVE HEADERS.
How HUGE are they??? I have seem BBC, with 2" primaries with a solid 900 HP and have enough room for their heater. You must be faster than them and have a bigger "vette" motor.
Why don't you do this, say I have a camaro for sale that has fading paint, and an L98 or LB9. I am not sure. It is loud cuz it has a glasspack. Also the wiring is pretty messed up and will need to get redone. Maybe guages don't work. In light of all this, it is a fast car that is sure to be fin to drive if you fix up its few problems. The heater is missing, but can be bough on ebay for a few bucks. Oh and it has some headers on it, so thats allways a plus.
Be honest, not stupid.

well that what the guy told me when i bought it, he said you have to buy street headers for the heater to fit. idk. if its not an lt1 then idk idk the code names for the motors. it was advertised with lt1, he said the motor came out of a corvette. its a V8 so who gives a F.uck? maybe its because that car wasnt designed for that motor to be in there, and those are probualy corvetee competetion headers? just like when u do a V8 swap in an old S-10, you have to buy special made headers for things to fit right, same as a mini starter.
and when you are selling a car. it is good to list the bad things. cause it shows respect to the buyer and it shows the buyer wheat he is buying and what he will have to fix and what will haveto be fixed later and if it worth the money. you were basically saying take a camaro that is getting ready to throw a rod and say that it runs good and sell it for $5k, so the buyer gets screwed on the way home. so id rather list the bad and the good.

OK WOW! I was being sarcastic!
Of course you list the bad stuff. I was trying to make a point that you have no idea what you are talking about and you are trying to make it sound like you do.
Listen, I have spent a better part of 5 years building and reaserching these cars. You can't tell me that there is some kind of header that doesn't allow your heater to fit. I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE. There are no street or competition headers that need to you to remove the heater. Hands down there just isn't. OK, so get that through your head. If you honestly don't know what an LT1 is, then that is scary. Are you aware that they physically looks different? The intake is flat and box shaped, no TUBES. That is aTPI motor. Tuned port injected. I remeber when I could barely tell a camaro from a mustang, back when i was like 13 and I could still tell you one thing is not like the other.
I would normally say, "well I am not trying to bash you here...." and say something along thise lines. But not thins time.
This time I AM trying to bash you:
Don't sell **** you don't understand. Luckily you had motor pics so we could all see you don't have an LT1.
I think it is totally iresponsible to sell things and be this ignorant.
take like 20 pics of all over the car, then post them here asking what you have. Let informed people tell you what you have. And then sell it.
This "I HAVE AN LT1" buisness is just wrong. Grow up and do things the right way or don't sell them at all.
People who said they were interested, if I was you I would STRONGLY consider other options.

Its not a 93+ LT1
If he bought it with the motor Im betting its a OLD SCHOOL 70's LT1 with a TPI stuffed on it. or the guy pulled a junk vette motor rebuilt it and still says its a LT1.
anyways.. I dont car whats wrong with it. or how fast you think it is etc. Im interested in it for parts/shell... so answer your PMs and e-mail me when we can meet up. I'll even take 10x better digi pic's and host em for you if I dont take the car off your hands.

Years: 1970-1972
The LT-1 was the ultimate 350 V8, becoming available in 1970. It used solid lifters, 11:1 compression, a high-performance camshaft, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor on a special aluminum intake to produce 370 hp (276 kW) and 380 ft·lbf (515 N·m). It was available on the Corvette and Camaro Z28. Power was down in 1971 to 330 hp (246 kW) and 360 ft·lbf (477 N·m) with 9:1 compression, and again in 1972 (the last year of the LT-1) to 255 hp (190 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m).
Note that there was a later small-block engine called the "LT1".

I know several people who see a TPI or LT1 or LS1 in a Camaro or Trans Am and call it "those Corvette motor". They were in Vettes, but they were in F-bodies (Camaros and Trans Am), they're not just Corvette motors. Just more people see them in Corvettes. After all, Vettes only get these motors while Camaros get several different types of engines. I think this is what might have happened here.
As for the difference between TPI motors and LT1s, this is a LT1:
See, they are different looking motors. Yours even says "TUNED PORT INJECTION" on the front. Look at the front of the intake.
And "Corvette competition" headers wouldn't fit in a Camaro, as far as I know. Even if the engine in this car is from a Vette, you would run Camaro headers on it.

To have a post titled 89 LT1 350 Z28 SHOULD be a newer LT1, or else specified. Its very decieving 
. I was one of those people coming in expecting to find an LT1 (optispark and all) third-gen.
Not to rag too much, but I don't now how your car beat anything and everything on bald tires.
I can't tell to well from those pictures, but it looks like those valve covers are center-bolts. Didn't the 70s LT1s have perimeter bolt valve covers?

really i would think it could possibly be an older engine just with newer centerbolt heads, instead of the older pirimiter bolt heads. but i do aggree the first thing i thought was a LT-1 from a newer car. just my $.02

Car: I've had 4 thrid gens!!
Engine: Someday again I will have another!!
If you look at his engine profile under his screen name. It says "LT1 350 TPI". So, I don't think he was trying to mislead anyone. He just never figured that everyone would expect to see newer fuel injected LT1.

the dipstick is on the passenger side, so that motor is not an LT1 or LT-1 by any stretch of the imagination. LT-1s died in in '72, and all pre-'80 blocks had drivers side dipsticks, which yours clearly does not. you have an '80+ block, probably a 305. what is the 8th digit of your VIN?

the only blocks i've seen that had provisions for dipsticks on both sides are/were aftermarket blocks.

ok idk then i guess the guy lied then. so it is a regular 350 TPI engine.
but bad news. i am selling the whole car for $600 now. cuz yesterday the tranny ****ed it self and wont go out of 2nd gear. and today i tried driving it to work and all the belts ripped off causing it to immediatly over heat seens how i was going 55mph in 2nd gear, and im pretty shure one of the cylinders blew. it had to be towed home. this happen out of the blue within 2 days. i am seriously pissed about it. so it needs the tranny rebuilt or replaced and the motor needs rebuilt. that is what i think needs done, it showed no signs of something like this to ever happen.
i will sell for $600 or trade for a car that is drivable to commute to school and work everyday.
Cell Number (951)-514-6024 it my california cell but i live in
Warren, Ohio 44483
today and yesterday have been the most bull **** days i have gone through. it is unbeliveable. TFBS!!!

It is a 5.7
Vortech heads and Vortech TPI base. Stock runners.
Edelbroch TES headers
Prob does have 4.10's as drining it home this am the tranny was fine cold but once it heated up started slipping like a bitch again.
All around sloid body/ project car to replace the vert I lost.
The 5.7 will come out and a Turbo 406 will be in it by next summer.
