Default 3800 with z28 badges???

I just bought a 2001 camaro with the 3800 engine but for some reason it has the z28 badges so the question is did somebody just put them on the car or is it possible that somebody mightve swapped the engine out

Someone put the badges on. Check teh VIN out if you want to confirm it was originally a v6.

That'd be a LOT of work just to downgrade the motor.

Yep, the VIN will tell all. Look at the eighth digit. K=v6, G=v8 (Z28)
