Donor car...
Hope im not double posting, but im just wondering, if I pick up an LT1 Camaro donor car for my V6 to V8 swap, will that donor car have everything I need? or will I still have to go out and purchase a few more things...

Theoretically yes if the car is running in present shape. Also depends on transmission and things like that.
Also do not be cheap and get things you need to make life easier, like headers and an exhaust system. Do not reuse the stock exhaust.
You will need a better fuel pump most likely.

Well beleive me, I wouldnt purchase a non- running car. But i'm looking at a 93-95 LT1 Camaro and just want to make sure that I will have everything that I need. I know about the engine and transmission stuff, but i'm not too familiar with electronics, ecm and all that other stuff... Initially
I was shooting for a turbo V6 but if finding a V8 donor car will give me just about everything I need in one shot, than it will most likely be alot easier...
