Mark, I would have bought that Monza already except for a couple of reasons. 1. It's in Arizona, I'm in Michigan 2. I already have a 67 El Camino, several 230s to build, headers, etc. 3. My goal is to see how fast I can get a 230 to run.
But you're right - it would make more sense to spend $5K on a car that already runs under the index than to spend time and money on a car that may(or may not) run under the index.

Okay, what about a 1982 Camaro with a 4 cylinder for W/S and W/SA?

What about a 3.0 V6 Monza with 5 less hp on it?

I've never seen a 3rd generation Camaro with a 4 cyl. I know that the option existed for California only(with aluminum Hood) but no production number are available? do you own such a Camaro? Claude

82 5 liter can run an auto? that's interesting, it also can run the 1.21 carb? and the dual snorkel air cleaner? did 82 use the truck heads?

Marine heads, .429 cam and 1.21 carb. Duh, when you write it all down it starts to look pretty good at 162 HP doesn't it.

.419/.443 cam, my bad.

Mark, the 82 has a different intake to go with the big carb but it should fit on a small carb manifold. I'm guessing.

I had an 82 with a 4 speed. I think it could be done on a "dime" if you could find a dana 44 service package rear for it.
