If you're going 540, might as well go all the way and drop in a 572...

Do not do a motor sway unless you enjoy set-backs, getting wrong parts, headaches, hassles, and an all around PITA.. I know more than one person who did a 4th gen 6-8 swap and it ended up taking 4 times as long and costing twice as much as projected.

yea i go back and fourth too with wanting a z28 but then i do a little mod to my car and love it all over again lol plus i get attached to my car so i figured i wanted more speed so i bought a street bike lol and plus ill probably just turbo the 6 down the road if i get the cash, even though i would love a v8, i think all of us who have a v6 think about this cause we love our cars but want the power and sound of a v8

Mine didnt sound too horrible with the headers and hi flow cat... it wasnt amazing or anything, but sounded prettybadass up until like 2k or more... but I had to cruise through a couple towns at about 1500 and I got many looks haha... it was pretty damn loud. The low decibles made my ears want to bleed.
