i have a 89 v6 camaro, i was thinkin about dropping a newer Ls1 v6 into the car. what would i have to change?

 

The LS1 is a V8, as far as I know. There are crate engines which come with everything you need but they probably run about $7K by the time it is in the car and running.

If you have a V6, I would stick with something that will fit to the existing trans and mounts, etc., just as much displacement as you can muster.

 

yea thats wat im lookin for really, a more powerful v6. cause i really cant be payin to much for insurence, im only 17 and a v8 wouldn't go to well. any suggestions?

 

go with a 4.3 vortec

 

how much do u think that would be, $2500?

 

i got one for sale

 

how much ya sellin it for? and wat does it put out?

the only reason i want a v6 is casue im 17, i cant be payin to much for insurence and for gas
otherwise i would get a v8

 

not sure what it puts out, but its out of a 99 Blazer 2 door

 

The LS1 is a V8.

You would have to change a lot. You'd probably have to go with new motor mounts, electronics, and even a transmission that would hold the LS1's power. Not to mention, you may even have to strengthen the front frame section, since it's a V6 car. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

You mention that you need a V6 because you're 17. Look into a 3.8L turbo motor from a 1989 Turbo TransAm. You'll still have to change some things, but you will surely NOT be disappointed with that motor.

 

yea thanks...i would love to have a v8 in there like a 305 but insurence reasons. what im thinkin about doin is getting the car insured and inspected then dropping a bigger engine into it like a 305 and beating the system....lol
