New Firebird....

[DFJ6000]

So i get this firebird. its an 84 5 speed with a 305, bought it knowing that it had a rod knock, has 3.73 gears. paid 400 for it. pretty solid body. so im drivin it to a buddys house, and i shift into second and it feels like i skip a gear but no the whole car shuts off.

I get out and theres oil everywhere, i blew it not even 5 minutes after i bought it. so i get it towed back to my friends house where we lift it to find 2 holes on each side of the oil pan and when we drain the oil for the first 10 seconds its all anti freeze. wow i had to post this cuz i never seen anything like this.

right now were workin on gettin the engine out and then within a few weeks puttin a new one in, pretty sure its gonna be the ole 307 from my nova, but if i could find a complete chevy 350 that wood be ideal.
