Dad got a neglected 86 305 auto camaro a couple years ago, its ruff around the edges but with a little TLC he got it running he was going to fix it up and make a cruiser out of it but lately he has been talking about putting a 5.3 or other LS based engine in it and using it as a LSR car.
What year did they start putting the "LS" engines in the Chevy trucks? What should be gotten other than the wiring and ecm?
Are there any other vehicles (fwd M.C.?) that are good for their motor I know the f-body and vette would be great but I more than likely those go really quickly cost much more. What should a 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 engine cost. I don't go to the JY often but have never seen one there. They come up on CL every once and a while most of the time listed for $800-$1000+
Saw this and got me thinking........ "** chevy gmc 5.3 v8 engine--low miles*** - $800 this motor has only 62k miles, came out of a 05 gmc yukon. runs great"
This is a long way off but being a ford guy I am way behind on this stuff. And its never to early to collect parts
