I was thinking of doing the v6 swap on my 95 3.4 because the insurance will be the same as a v6, and I figured it would EVENTUALLY pay off. I was wondering if this was a good deal

"I have an LT-1 out of a 1994 Camaro. This engine has around 145k miles on it. We started it before I pulled it out. I've got the 4L60E auto transmission to go with it. Parts that are included with this swap are: computer, wiring harness, torque convertor, tranny cooler, and I have a new B&M floor shifter with console cover, and cable for 4 speed auto. Theres everthing to complete a swap. I'm asking $1000obo."

All I would need is the suspension parts, gage clusters, maybe reroute the fuel line and new pump, plus mounts and a radiator and it would be a decent project right?

BTW I would be doing the labor myself.

 

yeah sounds like you have all the bases covered,and 1000 with the tranny isnt a bad deal at all.Dont forget you would need an lt1 k member or engine cradle,depends what you want to call it.

 

Before the swap you might want to spend a little money on the a overhaul of the engine. If nothing else replacing all your gaskets and seals. I would personally take it to a shop have the crank turned and balanced real good, add new bearings, and have her cleaned up real good for a new set of rings. At the very least. If you wanted to spend a little more punching her out for a good set of forged pistons would be a good investment to help you pull a few more ponies out of the old girl.

 

Yea before I put it in I would get hte engine overhauled and some forged pistons and probably and port/polish. Thanks for the input ill post if I get.

 

I wish I would of had that luxury when the engine was installed on my car. The guy I bought it from had it put in by American Engine Installation in SLC Utah. They charged him 5 grand for a longblock and as far as I had found all they have done was changed the block. All the electronics are from the old engine, waterpump, even the opti.

 

hey i have a real big question, well to start with i have a 454 off a 84 chevy dually and i would like to put it onto my 95 camaro i was wondering would do i need and where can i do it at , im looking for a shop to do it so it wont have any errors so if some one can please give me any info txt me or email me please i really need an answer (323) 775-8312 or jabali87@yahoo.com

 

weird question...good luck putting that motor into your car. there's not much room in the engine bay anyway and you want to stuff a 454 in it? why? yeah its possible, but you will be cutting whole lots of stuff off your car. expect to have at least 7 grand in it. good luck

 

nice thread jack
