i just need a list of what i need to get this bad boy running
all i know that its rebuilt with new cam

 

[Stikman33]

Lol, you want a list from looking at the picture, well here is a quick rundown.
All Pulleys, belts, pvc valve with gromet, Power Steering pump with brackets, alternator with brackets, upper and lower radiator hoses. Power steering high pressure and return lines, can't tell if that extra port down by the fuel pump is an inlet, or a line for the trans cooler than needs to be attached, heater hoses with fittings for the water pump and an air cleaner, that should get you started.

 

[novaderrik]

you don't need the power steering hooked up to get it running..
you really should find TDC, pull the distributor, and put it back in straight. also looks like the plug wires were jammed on random posts on the distributor cap, so that needs to be straightened out, too.
i also don't see a throttle cable.

Can't tell from 1 pic but it might need a radiator.

Also I would change oil and use a new filter if you haven't done this already.

May need a starter also.

It NEEDS to be brought to someone who has put a car together from scratch before.
AND a fat wallet cause its 'all the little stuff' that kills most people.


EDIT: Please don't think I'm bashing the OP.....not meant to do that but I think this seems to be his best option,until he gains more experience.

LOL, my son knows this one, we visited 2 auto parts stores, and 2 hardware stores this weekend before we got his mechanical fuel pump hooked up on his Z/28, to replace his almost dead, 0 fuel pressure Holley red pump. I kept gettin' "the look" every time I told him to get in the car.

OP, take Dan's advice, find a good friend who's got some spare time, and doesn't want all your spare cash to help you on this one. I wouldn't mess with the engine itself, it appears it's been rebuilt by a shop, judging by those high temp indicator tabs on the freeze plugs. If the engine overheats, the solder will melt out of those, and you won't have a warranty. Good indicator that the engine was originally sold with a warranty. That passenger side upper control arm bushing looks like it needs replacement, too. It appears to be missing.

i disagree.. this is how you learn to put stuff together. put together what you've got, then find out what's missing and get that.

 

[ANDREtheGIANT72]

SO I GOT A HUGE PROBLEM GUYS!!!
IF U SEE THE FRONT RIGHT BOLT MISSING..WELL I GAVE THE BOLT TOO MUCH TORQUE AND IT BROKE WHILE HALF OF THE BOLT WAS IN THERE! I GOT SO MAD AND SCARED! WHAT CAN I DO THO GET IT OUT?

 

[Cameano]

Left hand drill bit and easy out set. Might as well buy it now, you'll need it again at this rate.

LOL

I know its a little late now, but before putting that new intake on I would of cleaned up and painted the engine.

 

[novaderrik]

pull the intake back off.. cover up the intake vally with some rags.
if you can get a vise-grips on the bolt, you might be able to just unscrew it. if not, you maybe could weld a nut to it and remove it with a socket.
otherwise you are stuck with the left hand drill bit and/or E-Z out..
also, throw away the crap hardware store bolts and get the proper grade 5 bolts.

 

[Stikman33]

I think 30 ft/lbs is the torque spec on intake bolts, so don't gorilla them on there.

and make sure the bolts aren't too long- the end holes on each head are blind tapped (which is why you probably broke that one), and one of the middle intake bolts will hit a pushrod and cause it to bind and bend if the bolt is too long.

 

[ANDREtheGIANT72]

sweet! im learning! thanks everyone

 

[ANDREtheGIANT72]

am i on a good start?

 

[Cameano]

Ditch the plastic tank radiator, go with the aluminum or copper/brass ones. Chrome alternator, your choice, but a good stock one will work fine too. I've got a peeled chrome alternator in the shed. Looks worse than the stock ones.
