Re: I Was Wondering?????

A 350 fits in there with ease. seeing as how some camaros even have a 5.7 in them just look at the sticky thread heres the link https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...swap-read.html
----------
thats if it has a v6 do you have a v-8 or v-6

Unless the 5.7 is an LSx family engine. But, don't want to confuse things too much early in the learning process.

Read the sticky about swapping from a V6 to a V8 (linked for you above).

Re: I Was Wondering?????

I was about to start laughing at you racer... then I remembered the day when I asked if my AC compressor could fit inside the engine bay with a 350. You know because a 5.7L is so much bigger than a 5.0L....
>_>

<_<

Read up, man. We're all ignorant at some point in time. Don't do anything drastic until you know what you're talking about and what you're looking at. I learned that the hard way when I "ported" my first CFI intake manifold.

Re: I Was Wondering?????

im going to make a suggestion though like CamaroLover09 said make sure you know what youre getting into. make sure you have the cash to do so that way you can do it all at once the right way and dont have to worry about it again. it will take time dont expect it to take a weekend unless you work pretty consistantly at it. but its def. worth it. just putting in my 2 cents. good luck and keep us posted.
