about time to start the project
My camaro has been parked for about 3 weeks due to a broken shifter cable.
Although my Mom's 2000 Buick Regal 3.8L packs quite a bit more punch than my ol 2.8l I really miss my own car. I finally have a bit of money stored up and am ready to start this project. Here is what I am thinking- Rebuilt 2.8L autozone- $1,200 Dynomax Performance Exhaust Summit part 17493- $170 Custom ram air intake $shouldn't be too bad Also going to patch some trouble areas on the body (2 rusted spots) Depending on my mood I might get a more preformance oriented camshaft and 160 degree thermostat. This is going to be a daily driver. I am going to have to take 60 mile trips twice a week. Its all freeway though so I want a bit more power for it. I do not have the money to put a 350 in it.

Re: about time to start the project
Just giving an example of what certain 350 can go for if you look in the right places. A turbo'd 3.4 would be really nice. Really nice!!

Re: about time to start the project
Yeah, i kinda forgot about that one. Are they really rated at 505? I read that they actually put out more like 550.

Re: about time to start the project
I've heard a variety of stories of GM not putting in the true amount but people laying out 510-550 to the wheels after a swap
