Quick question.

i have 200k miles on my 1991 camaro rs. i should be able to get 300k before baring or something goes. But when it does go i want to prepare.

should i rebuild the v6 or try to find a 305 or something to put in. Im tight on money. i mean by all means if i can find a L98 thats a 91 year.

V6 isnt to bad getting 26 mpg

 

Well what are your plans for the car? Are you going to use it for a daily driver commuter car or do plan to only cruise it on weekends. Do you want a fast 1/4 mile car or an autocross road race car or something inbetween.

 

Plan on an engine swap costing you $3000-4000, no matter which engine you use.

 

Well i do drive 30 miles to work and 30 miles back everyday m-f.


L98 would be great but pros and cons...

i use my car everyday driver. its flawless perfect cond.

 

Personally I'd go with a rebuild or new V6.

 

To bad you can't legally use the V6 out of the 1989 Pontiac. I hear that one put out some good power.

 

Or the 3.8 from the 87 Buick with related accessories.

 

rebuild yours, a good rebuild can be had for about 2 grand.

 

Yeah i think im going to rebuild. Unless anyone has a L98

 

better yet find another 6 cyl motor from another camaro and rebuild that one so when urs goes all yea gatta do is yank and drop.. well u know what i mean

 

305

 

If anyone had an L98, you would need the whole donor car to have enough parts to do the swap.

You wouldn't believe the stuff you have to change.

 

Plus an L98 is a 350 which wasn't one of your choices. You'd have to do the same thing whether is was a 305 or 350 though.
