I NEED HELP!!!

i picked up a 1987 camaro RS...it has the 2.8 liter V6, but i want to swap it with a V8. I dont want to do any welding or anything like that i just want a V8 that will just slide right in. My question is can you guys give me some v8 engines that will be a perfect fit for a 1987 camaro RS?

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

You don't have to do any welding to do a V6 to V8 swap.

The V8 engine itself that you chose isn't the issue - none of them will "just slide in". Read this https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...swap-read.html (which we'd like you to do before posting questions about this swap) and you'll see what is involved.
