Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28
Well ladies and gentlemen, we found the problem. This is the #8 cylinder. Helicoil in the block either not installed correctly from the beginning or it pulled through. If you look in the picture, it is sitting above the block surface. Head was never properly seated on the gasket.- Midnightmoon

Finished up the shifter install today and replaced a damaged transmission mount. Car now moves under it's own power and shifts through the gears. Fun begins tomorrow. Pulling the top off the engine to see what we are working with.- Midnightmoon

"Monster" brand TH350?
And thankfully, I don't have any real money in the drivetrain in this car. So, I'll run it till it pops and go to something else.- Midnightmoon

"Monster" brand TH350?
Which is what kind of surprises me with the previous owner/owners of this thing. $$$$ on a questionable brand transmission and then top the engine off with an eBay knockoff intake manifold instead of spending on the actual name brand. But, they dropped nearly a grand on a Painless wiring...- Midnightmoon

"Monster" brand TH350?
Not directly Square Body related but I thought that I would find some information here (Admin please move if posted in the wrong area) The '79 Camaro project that I drug home has a "Monster" brand reman TH350 installed from the previous owner. Does anyone here have any knowledge of the company...- Midnightmoon

Finally got around to getting a picture of the cowl tag. If my decoading skills are correct, legit Z28 built the first week of May 1979. Black exterior and Red deluxe cloth buckets.- Midnightmoon

Fuse box was mounted and only a few runs made. Previous owner died during restoration. So, we had to finish making the runs and connections about 90% finished now.- Midnightmoon

This is the wiring harness that is in the car. I didn't buy it. It was there from the previous owner and never fully installed. https://painlessperformance.com/product/26-circuit-direct-fit-1978-81-camaro-harness-part-no-20114/- Midnightmoon

Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28
This car has to have an interesting back story on it. I do know for sure that it was purchased out of an estate when the owner died during restoration. The gentleman that I bought it from worked through the title process, got it running and then I bought it from him. It's sort of a mystery as...- Midnightmoon

LOL...yeah, he threw those in when I got there tonight. $75 for the wheels and 2 old tires which, I thought was a really good deal. I need something factory in case I would ever apply for PA historical plates. So, I figured that I would get them now when they became available.- Midnightmoon

In a stroke of luck, I ended up buying the wheels pictured above from a gentleman that runs a restoration shop and has 2 second gen Camaro's in his building as we speak, one a beautiful '79 that her restored for his daughter. I was able...- Midnightmoon
