My wife's father passed away about a year ago and he had a 1981 camaro that is now ours. Well finally getting settled into our house, I'm going to start fixing this car up and getting it to run right(he was a life long mechanic but many things are not working on the camaro)
First thing i looked up was the engine block number........its a 283 from a 58-62 chevy.....why on earth is this engine in the car?
looking at the VIN, it originally had a 229CI.
does the 283 bolt right in and is the block similar to the 229?
thank you in advance, its been years since i posted here and years since i sold my 79TA!
