i wanna try something new whatcha think
i may have lost it this time but me and my partner have built some cool cars now we have the bright idea of lets build something new. He's a tuner and im all late model muscle. but the idea is take a 4th gen v6 preferably a 98-02 and swap the engine and tranny for a rb26det motor (skyline straight 6 twin turbo) brace the frame some suspension work and make a drift car whatcha think let me know whats up give some ideas i know some will shun me from the camaro world but when youve done as much as i have youll start thinking outside the bowtie but im still a chevy guy

gotta admit. not a fan. have u checked dimensions? the V8 stretches from firewall to radiator, and you want to put an extra 2 cylinders of length in there. not to say it can't be done, but that's a squeeze. Turning a Camaro (or any Chevy for that matter) into a modified lawn mower is a big no no and probably something you should do with out telling anyone. think of it like riding a fat chick....

Opinions vary so much on something as subjective as this that the best avenue to take is the one you want to pursue. If you think you can do it and would enjoy the challenge, that's what you should do... because you want to. I'm not sure the benefits would outweigh the difficulty of the task (or ridicule), but I really couldn't say. If you go ahead and do it, I'd be curious enough to follow the build if you choose to post regularly.
