Welcome to thirdgen.org.

First, read the sticky right above your thread https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...swap-read.html.

Then, come on back with any specific questions you may have left.

 

have u done it...

 

In an '82, not a '91.

 

so if i wanted to just put a chevy 350 outa a 92 chevy pickup into my 91 camaro i could, and use the same tranny, and i would need different alternator, power stering pump... and wat else...

 

You could use the transmission out of the truck, but not the same transmission in the car now. The bellhousing on the V6 transmission is different than the bellhousing on a V8 transmission, so that needs to change. However, the transmission out of the truck would not have the torque arm mounting provision, but that's a simple matter of unbolting the tailshaft housing from each and putting the Camaro tailshaft housing on the truck transmission.

The computer and wiring harness for the V6 will not run the V8, so that would either need to come from the truck, or from another 3rd gen of like induction type (TBI).

I highly recommend changing the front springs to V8 type, as the V6 springs will bottom out when you add the weight of the V8. But, some people do okay without that change, especially those who take out the air conditioning and do other lightening things.

 

i dont have the trans outta the truck, so alls ill need to do is get a bell housing for a v8, and im converting it to carburation and all that so i dont need the computer, and as for the springs i can probably find a set for it that are stronger... anyways thanks for the info, by the way do u know anyone that has a pretty desent 90-92 camaro front bumper cover and all that

 

The bellhousing is part of the case. They can't be taken off and put on a different transmission. You need a V8 transmission. If you're talking about an automatic transmission, that is.

If manual, almost the same story, except the V6 manual transmission has a different input shaft, and putting it on a V8 takes a little more innovation. It is also pretty weak, so using it behind a V8 isn't recommended.
