Default how hard would it be to do a V8 swap?

I've heard from a few people that it's a real pain. Any advice? Would it be worth it orwouldi be better off selling my current car, save extra moneyand get a Z28?

get a z28. its been discussed on here and many other boards many many times. unless you had a wrecked z28 already sitting in your yard, not worth it. Now thats if your talking a ltx/lsx swap, if your talking drag car (some big block carb setup) then go ahead, wont need much lol

it depends on what you want dont let people discourage you.I bought my v6 to build a fast car. I am going with a 400ci turbo setup. So its just up you and your abilty. With that said our cars are a real pain in the *** to swap lol

He is right, dont let other people discourage you. However the other people are right. You are better off buying an LS1 camaro. However if you want to make it worth it, swap in an LS2 or LS6, or a big block. then you will have somthing orginal.
