I have an 86 Monte Carlo SS as a "project". I bought the car, and alot of **** was unplugged and disconnected or whatever. Supposedly, the guy broke a connecting rod and started getting ready to do an engine swap. Who knows if its true or not, but I did manage to get the thing started up, and it sounds ok i guess. I'm not an engine mechanic, so I'm hoping maybe somebody here wouldnt mind taking some time to help me out with this thing.

I promised myself I wouldnt give up on this car, and I'm hoping to get it drivable within the month of september. I dont know if I need a new engine, or where I'm at or anything. I'm simply lost.
