Just throwing around some ideas! Most of you (if not, all) will tell me "It ain't worth the swap". No need to waist your breath on that statement. Just wondering how easy/difficult of a swap. Anyone wanna take a stab at it???? Everyone and their mother owns a V-8 Camaro. My goal is to be different. Will probably go with a 4.3 over a V-8 in the future.

Yeah I think that would be cool and your almost guaranteed to be the only person in the world with that combo. The eco-tech(sp?) is a nice engine plus it's all aluminum which means your car will be extremely light.
Actually, I'm thinking of the Vortec 2200 truck engine since it's rwd. But still...even these can be hopped up quite a bit. Trying to keep my car a 4-cyl, like it already is.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
