A couple months ago my dad bought me a 1981 camaro z28 for $2000. Sounds good right? 

Well, it had no cats (not a prob), no emergency break, no heater or ac, and the bottom of the car was all rusted. Later we find that when they had the engine "rebuilt" the idiot put the 7 and 8 pistons in the wrong places and backwards. Did I say the engine blew? Well it did in case you couldn't tell. My dad and me stripped it down and rebuilt it...the right way, with a GM/ASE certified mechanic. First we got it all down and painted.
After that we tourqed the cap bolts and got the crank bolted in.

flipped her over and bolted in the timing cover and oil pan.
Got the heads on and the rocker arms, rods, and lifters in.
Got the engine in the car and bolted in

and got her up and going. Havn't gotten any recent pics yet.
