Camaro Question

Im lookin in to buying either of two cars. A 97 camaro v6 or a 73 nova 350 and other mods already. My question is if I got the camaro, how hard is it to put a v8 in a v6 camaro are clearance problems will computer recognize it or do i have a lot of work and should just buy the nova...
camaro or nova
:banghead: :uhoh:

do you want a drag car, or a fun weekend car?nova would be for drag, camaro is kinda hard to switch to v8 so i would use it for weekend car.

i thought of purchasing a v8 camaro but its hard to find one that is not ragd out, but i could rebuild that block easier than doing the other whacha think. By the way either one will be a weekender car

You could try to find a V8 Camaro, that someone blew the engine. Look for a deal, don't let anyone try to rip you off. If you get it for cheap enough than you could pull the engine and rebuild it. It would be an easy way to build horsepower and is a great learning experience.

I paid 2K for my Formula, it needed a torque convertor but the last owner thought the tranny was shot. The body was in excellent condition. So there are 4th Gen F-body V8's out there for a pretty damn good deal.

i got ripped so watch it i paid 6k only to have a water pump, heater core and a/c to take crap on me 2 months l8tr

Buy a 3rd gen from ebay that needs some engine work.. there's alot of those, and you get the arguably better looking one. Also its alot easier to drop a v8 in that because of the engine bay and everything.

Oy, LT1 4th gens look the best.

not really

Its all a matter of taste so please no one use a best looking term or refer to one as being ugly. Some members find that offensive and I don't want to have any more bickering break out. Thanks

wait let me get this straight...

You are going to get a v6 camaro and put a v8 in it, instead of getting a camaro with a v8 already in it because you can't find one that isn't "ragged out?"

Putting a new v8 in an already v8 camaro is easier than putting a v8 in a v6 camaro.

Putting a new v8 in an already v8 camaro is easier than putting a v8 in a v6 camaro.

:iagree:

73 Nova? :lol: first car I ever drove, no power steering, no brake assist, blown ball joints, no floor :lol:

I would go with though just for ease of fun things that can be done with it.
