Ok....I love the idea of supin' up my v6 faster than a v8 because thats somethin great to brag about. On the other hand, Im seriously thinking about fixing my camaro up just alittle more on the inside and selling "Christine" and getting a prefferatably a 97 t-top camaro w/ a v8 and start makeing modifications from there. Only thing stopping me is my car has more sentimental value more than anything, I have always wanted a t-top camaro and i finally got my hands on one with no finacial help what so ever. Also, it is paid for, Still questioning this scenerio, any comments? Enlightin me....

"179,997 Miles on car & Engine" = OUCH, go for the v8

what the hell are you talking about? if he sells his car he can buy a V8 for almost the same price..

this is the position im in...and my car has extreme sentimental value...new paint, cam and custom ported heads, so much money into the resto of everything...yet nothing will stop me from my V8.

If i Switch out my V6 for a v8 then id have to also have to sqwitch the transmission, Lets not forget the labor price, i have a buddy of mine that does all my car work but still, its gonna be a *****. Im thinking of just aiming for buying a newer model v8.

only if he gets a pos, or teh guy buying his is too stupid to look around, to do the upgrade is around 2 grand including engine if work done by yourself

If i was to rebuild my motor, What will be the main componenets in the ngine that needs to be replaced? Im still gonna aim for a v8, im gonna go out and start looking tommorow. It MUST be a t-top v8 wo0o0t

 
Rep Power: 1126

main components are cam, pistons, rings, bearings, timing set
