I've been working on the '81 Camaro lately, the car that I had fun towing several months ago. I finally removed the wore-out 305 that was in the engine bay friday. I've been buying assorted parts like crazy and was planning on installing the Cadillac motor sometime soon. Yeah, right. I didn't know you had to tear down the front suspension to replace the motor mounts. I just rebuilt the front suspension a few months before the motor blew, now I get to redo a lot of that work. On the plus side I have the engine assembled and painted. It looks very sharp, low-gloss black with silver ARP bolts and an aluminum Edelbrock intake. While the engine is out I'm going to clean the engine bay, tidy up some of the wiring, and paint the engine bay flat black. Maybe with luck I'll have the swap finished by winter (I've been hoping to get it running a lot sooner).
