Hey my father inlaw just picked up a 95 firebird with a v6 in it. He wants to sell it to me for next to nothing (he loves buying and selling). How hard is it to drop a v8 in it? Is it worth it time and money wise? I would build it for strictly a track car for my dad and I. Any info would be great. ---

At least 2k for labor and everything else is extra. ---

Depends a lot on what type of V8 you want and what type of tranny you want. ---

yeah it’s not overly complicated by any means. The physical swapping isn’t bad at all. you would have to repin some connectors for everything to function properly dash wise. ---

If you’re swapping in an el tee juan, it’ll be pretty cheap & easy, parts wise. Minus whale go el es juan tho. But in either case, don’t be afraid of motor swaps. ---
