What to do with my engine? Ok so i was coming home from the track last night and it was raining so i was in no hurry to speed home or anything. Well i was going about 8 under and i started to hydroplane and ended up going into the guard rail and i believe i totaled the body of my camaro. But i have looked at the engine and it looks perfectly fine along with the transmission so my question is what should i do with is? Sell it or try and find a roller to use it with?

you have plenty of opportunities with either of those choices. lots of people are looking for engines and trannies...and there are lots of rollers out there

that sucks man...i did the same thing. Was driving slow in the rain on nitto 555r'a and spun into a wall. Smashed the front of the car and pulled all the parts, bought a TA, and put all my parts in it. Try and find a roller, might not get what you expect for the parts unfortunatley..

throw it in something ridiculously light...like an rx7! or maybe try to find a good looking older muscle car and throw it in? maybe a 2nd gen? 
you could always look around and find a roller like everyone said..maybe get yourself a V6 with RS or something, throw it in there since itll all hook up right quick. everyone will think you're a v6 and be surprised when you smoke them!
or....S10!
edit: I really like the idea someone said above about throwing it into an old 280 datsun! those cars are total sex
