V6 to v8 swap and Other Questions

92 camaro 3.1L R/S Ttops Automatic

What all has to be swapped in converting to V8 from V6. I know about wiring harness, computer, trany, and engine. Money isnt a big deal.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...swap-read.html and we have a separate sub-forum for the V6, rather than the swap sub-forum, for chipping / boosting the V6.

Or


Will the turbo fit of the 91 3.1 pontiac grand prix if I decide to stay with the V6?


Or


How much more hp can I get by chipping the V6?
If you haven't already check out the sticky above dealing with this swap. A lot of good info in there.

Re: V6 to v8 swap and Other Questions

dude, there is a ton of info on v8 swaps... if money isn't a big deal then do a LTx or LSx swap.

I don't think your going to get too many replies... seems like your working backward.
