Default your opinion...carbed v8?

my wife has a 97 v6 (3800) camaro....and its just dieing. i recently did an intake gasket. and it has been leaking oil for quite some time. but now the trans is slipping bad! and the front main seal leaks.

basically its on its way out....so i got her a newer car. and im left with this car starring at me everyday! i dont have lots of money, cuz if i did i would do a lt or ls swap. but i do have a mildly built 350 just chillin here.

soooo, what would you guys do?

sell it and buy something different?

throw the carbed 350?

any other ideas?

Carbed 350 in 4th gen = bad idea
Sell it & buy something else = better idea
Hower, you are going to have a hard time finding a buyer for a car in such poor condition.

Are you just talking about how much of a PIA it would be for the swap to a Gen I sbc or do you have other reasons? Just curious.
