First, i have searched the database here and have not found what i'm asking, so if i missed something, i apologize.
I'm looking for a 327 motor to put in a camaro, which i dont yet have.
my question is, when i go to a junkyard to find one, what do i need to look for, as far as knowing if the block is cracked or if it's rebuildable-acceptable, rebuildable-good, rebuidable-nightmare, mortgage scenario?
i'm new to this world, relatively. I've always had the interest, but i always had alot of hobbies. Now i'm getting into this one and it's exciting already! So please bear with my mundane questions at times.
Also, is there any way of getting an idea on what to pay for one of these motors?
I am going on the assumption that it's best to have the motor out of the car as i strip it down and rebuild, before bolting it in...
thx
