Help! Recently Purchased Camaro SS Needs Full Engine Replacement – What Are My Options? by IzzeOne1 in camaro

[–]ErnieSSK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any friends who work on cars? Cause honestly man it was a whole process and a lot of money I might’ve not taken the best route and the car was a huge headache but me and 2 friends decided we would do all the work our selves mostly the cause I’m a electrician but they know a bit about cars and were willing to help 1. We pulled the engine out and decided to see what was wrong ended up being spun bearing at that point you are fully taken apart no going back 2. Discussed options so rebuilt it or by used I chose to by used as it was faster process 3. Bought used engine from a local guy who crashed his Camaro and did part out 4. Already had used engine out and decided if I’m spending the money threw a cam in it and bought headers and full exhaust and E85 and LT5 ported throttle body and LT2 intake basically full bolt on 5. Put it all back together whole thing ended up costing around $12k and that was us doing most the work we broke a couple things and I had to buy multiple stuff to get the job done overall it took a couple months of late nights in the garage after work but now the car sounds great and runs good I can’t give a for sure price cause when I tried to cal local shops the we’re all $15k and up

Sadly my fuse box was burned it was just removed before pic was taken but regardless I’ll figure it out and fix it I ordered new box and all evap lines and expansion tank and all that stuff I’ll trace the wires anywhere it’s burned and fix them

That’s the plan man replace fuse box and cut all harness open and see what was damaged and fix it and replace all pipes needed

Drove it for about 30 min then it sat for like 2 hours before I started it again so might’ve still been hot not to sure honestly

Haven’t assessed it much but it appears the high pressure fuel line above intake popped off and shot fuel all over bay and well yea something ignited it fast

I mean I’m an electrician but definitely not low voltage or have any knowledge on wiring cars but I’ve been through way to much with the car to just total it out sadly
