Engine Swap

Well I have a 92 firebird, and unfortanetly its a 6cyl, Im not to great with cars anyway, but I'd like to drop a 8cyl in it, and convert it from automatic to stick. OR

I was also thinking, turbo the car, and then swap out the trans because mines going.

what do you think?

if your tranny is going and you want a V8, you will be better off swapping in the V8 and a new tranny at the same time. the bellhousing on the V6 transmissions will not bolt to an 8cyl.

then, once you have the engine and tranny worked out ....


...drop in some twin turbo's
