So my original plan was to wait till spring and keep saving but this last week has been hell wanting to turn wrenches on a new project! so i went with the idea i have had for about most of this summer broke down and finnally found what i feel was a good deal to me! 94 camaro, yes its the 3.4l v6 and auto tranny, but not for long im pricing a chevy v8 and manual tranny, i also after the lil body work want a corvette yellow paint and new rims n rubber, Its gonna be a long road to get there but thats what its all about to me:) the journey:) the bads i know about are needs brakes and tires, new radiator hoses and possibly radiator, also some minor body work and paint! I cant wait to dig in tommarow and tinker:) ---

You should see what extra parts John (88slowmarro) has. He’s got a '94 that he’s changing the engine setup on and I think he’s selling a stroker kit for it. ---

just buy a V8. Your going to spend more money putting a V8 in that car. The whole point of doing V8 swaps, is putting them into a car that didnt come with one from the factory… you can pick up a decent lt1 car for 3 grand. You cant swap that with a new paint job and wheels for near that. the car is decent for a DD, and thats the extent of it. ---

You’re going to spend 10 grand getting that car where you want it to be. Don’t bother. Invest in something worthwhile, like a Chrysler Cirrus. ---

Swap in a quality 60\* V6 like the LZ9, all the accessories will bolt up just fine and the motors are about $500 in the junk heap. Spray it with a 150 shot and have fun. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-picked-up-a-new-toy-project-camaro/260977.md?page=2)
