ok i just bought my second third gen camaro 1 week ago! i drove tge the car a total of 4 times and on my way home last night the motor started to knock. i know that the motor is DONE FOR and i need a new one. Talking with my dad we have come up with just getting a crate motor and being done with it. The question i have is what motor would be the cheapest and easyist to put in without all hassle of changing to much on the car. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Assuming you mean the '91, the absolute easiest is the GM 12513151, at $ 1949.00 but that just bumps you to 200 HP. The best bang for the buck is the 12530282, at $ 2191.28. But that requires also buying at least the 12496821 intake, at $ 359.42. And it'll respond far better to future mods like headers and a 3" cat-back.

 

Thanks man! what would that part number be in jegs? I see 12499529 is that the right one?

 

No, you don't want that. I like Jegs, I always choose Jegs over Summit, but in this instance you should be checking www.gmpartsdirect.com and www.sdparts.com. I just verified those part numbers and prices this morning.
