Well even over the course of a few years, it'll still cost you about 15K a year. So, unless you've got some good get rich quick scheme, then you better go ahead and start savin them pennies.

i will only need help with the engine, and im looking at a 5 year kinda thing, when i have every thing, im gonna rent a car for a month and some sort of shop and then i will just strip my camaro down to the bone and rebuild... donno if i can complete it in 1 month, but im gonna try like hell if not then i will shoot for 2 months, but while im waiting i am gonna have all the shit stored in a public storage.

Dude. I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything. But a 1000hp on a streetable car is near impossible. Nevertheless. I'm guessing you're planning on some supercharger, or most likely a turbo system. In that case, you shouldn't even bother with a crate LS7. I'm guessing the LS7's bottom end is rated at 700hp at best. Not to mention you're going to need a low compression engine to handle an incredible amount of boost. A 1000hp engine would be a 100% custom job.

Pertaining to the v8 suspension on the v6 body... I was going to do a v6 to LT1 conversion on my Camaro. But some f-body experts told me that the v6 front suspension geometry is very different from the v8. Different not only because of the weight issue, but also due to the clearance of the motor and such. I don't know for sure, but that is what I was told.

Good luck with your project.

did i say i was putting in a ls7 crate? if i did, sorry, im gonna start with the ls7 block and go from there, it has to be bored and sleved, it will need to be totally reinforced, and then all forged internals will be added, and to be exact with the system its gonna be a twin turbo set up.

the only difference between the 2 is the power load they can handle and the speeds they are rated at because a 6 wont have much power as a 8 the 8's stuff has to be rated a bit higher.... its all in how much stress the parts can take.
