In the future, try searching this kind of thing before asking it... this one of the most common 6er question on here..

Think of it this way, how hard is it to sell your car and buy a Z28? not hard at all.
How hard is it to install a 5.7 in a 3.8? ALOT harder than selling the 3.8 for a Z28... Its not worth it.

Hey Spartan. Leave the moderator work to the moderators. Just cause you spend 60% of your day/night here, doesnt mean that you can give people a hard time.

Seemed like a valid response to me... He's just pointing it out. No need for you to be a hypocrite and be a **** about it sir. And I agree with Spartan... It's one of the most commonly asked questions, and in the future, search the forum beforehand...

yeah, it is a lot of work to do, usually more than what it's worth. Someday when that new crate lsx engine comes out, that'll go in my sixer, everything will need to be replaced anyway. But that's years in the future, I'm not even gonna think about doing it until college is done.

yeah, it's out, but you have to build it. THey haven't put out a turn-key crate engine yet. That's what I'm waiting for, I'm lazy.....
