Big Block are you serious!!! The engine is going in the front not the back! Shocked

Anyway a '454' *lol* I don't wanna tear the front off it... Mr. Green

haha, It's just sitting in a barn on the island, along with the '74 Camaro it accompanied. The Camaro is rotting away, but the motor is still in decent nick. One of the barrels is scored, but a machine shop said they could sort it out no problem. It would be perhaps £500, with the Camaro and in line 6 that is still with it.

Do you know the person who owns the motor etc? My neighbour is into his American cars so I'll mention it to him. Where's it located? Thumbs Up

yeah, they are a member of the American car club down here. It is located on the Island, in the backwoods somewhere. My Dad knows exactly, but if he were to come down to collect/see it, he would prolly have to get a guide to find it Very Happy

It is a 454 (7.5 litre) block, don't recall what year, a bore is scored but it is salvageable without too much work i think, there is an inline six (possibly 3.8 litre) with the camaro, it's original motor and the transmission is still in the car. the car bodywork needs a lot of work, no panel is ok etc. We were thinking of having it as a project, but the Buick came up... The Camaro needs pulling out and saving really, it's not the the most desirable model, but would make an excellent street machine for someone willing to put in work. There is also a massive set of headers in unknown condition inside the car. The rear features a large pair of rear tyres, so it is unclear if it is running the original axle, it is also running the rare original wheels.

I don't know really much about the car other than that (apparently the interior is in good condition) we only saw it in the barn it was in.
