v6 ENGINE QUESTION

I just recently bought a 2000 v6 cAmaro. I am dissapointed with the performance of it and i want to upgrade the engine to a v8. I am pretty new at things like this but I was looking at crate engines and thinking about purchasing a 350 smallblock. What would be the best way to go about this without having to go and buy a z28 or ss. Would i Have to make any other modifications to my car if I put a 350 crate engine in?How much would this cost me?

well do you have the means to make the swap cause it will be a costly one.

I have found several websites asking only about 2000$ so as long as its under the 3000$ range total i can afford the swap.

Re: v6 ENGINE QUESTION

that one is for a 3rd gen camaro/firebird. what you will need is a ls1 for a 2000, which is you may be able to use this one but you do realize that you wil have to do some wiring and rig it up to were it will run.

Re: v6 ENGINE QUESTION

Find one with 150,000 miles on it that is out of a car that has been smashed up, that's about the only way it'll be cheap.
