They got worse from there.

There's a rumor the SOME of the 79 Z28s with a 4 speed manual got 4 bolt mains out of the gutless 79 vette, but most of em were crap 2 bolts with cast cranks.

That was a bad era for cars. Really bad.

Can you swap an engine from a different model or year?
Yep... just need to stick to the cast iron bits and no"bowie". I can buy any engine I want, but it would be nice to buy one with the car initially as it will lower my initial expense.
