go to the forum of your choice and click the "new thread" button at the top of the posts.

 

I suppose in that case I might as well buy a LS1 Camaro and just drop the engine in it. That's probably the easiest route... only problem will be it's not MY Camaro.

Now the parts as StanGT listed, can I pull those from a LS1 Camaro or a later model Trans Am and use them with the LS6 without problem? Actually, what can I take from an earlier 4th Gen or even a 3rd?

Thank you for your help so far. Sure beats getting the run around.

Any other suggestions, tricks, tips or parts I definitely need before I put the engine in?

 

Camaro95, no need to copy-paste your post, we can read it once

bigshow: There's this amazing thing called Google, it will tell you many things. To quickly answer your question it's a term assigned Camaro and Firebirds since they share the same chassis and many of the same components. The F in F-body came from "Firebird."

Camaro95 again: It would be easiest for you to buy an LS1 car. That's usually what we recommend instead of engine swapping a V6 car. The parts that you need can only come off an LS1 car, it uses a different K-member since the motor mounts are in different locations from a traditional SBC. Oh, and you may want to save some money and purchase an LS1 or LS2 instead of an LS6. You can make LS6 power with a head/cam swap.

 

So if I use a LS1 car... I'll get roughly 350hp where as the LS6 and LS2 get roughly 400.

What are the advantages of buying an LS1 car and modding vs buying an LS1 car and replacing the LS1 with a LS6 and modding that? Obviously cost will be the big advantage but I mean more technicaly speaking.

 

Looking for some last pieces of my information to ensure I'm on the right track. I have to learn somewhere right?
