ahh remember when i had a 3.1 in my 92 camaro.

Its been a while since i had the 3.1 v6 in my 92' camaro 8 months ago i installed a modified 5.0 TPI. My friend bought a 91' convertible firebird with the 3.1, He was racing some guy on the highway and lost badly, forgot what car it was. Anyway its great to hit the 1/4 in the 13's. Theres a big difference in 190 hp to 350hp N/A 450 nitrous

i wasnt rubbing it in, But its a weird feeling, I've been driving the 3.1 for 3 years straight. I hit a 16.8 in the 1/4 long time ago. I was gonna modify it, when i heard that Paxton discontinued their supercharger lineup for the 3.1/2.8 MPFI i gave up and went bigger on the Cubic Inches.

How difficult was the swap?

I had been considering such a project myself.

Awesome! Got any pics? Did you have to modify any of the wiring harness on the driver's side of the engine compartment... you know, the one that runs the lights and other sensors, the pass-thru by the brake booster? Any under-dash wiring mods? Or did you just change out the wiring harness that goes to the computer (about 1 foot of wires going inside the car after the pass-thru in the passenger side's fenderwell)?

The only hardest part was getting all the acounted sensors for the motor. As for the harness all i needed was a Painless wiring engine harness w/ 4 feet adapter. Everthing else went in smoothly, Bought TPI Fuel pump and Engine Mounts.
I dont have a b4 pic but this is the after



This pic was taken about a day after i put the motor in. Alot has changed, It is a pain in the ***, since it requires tuning, but she kicks plenty of mustangs *****

Since i had access to a shop(air tools,lift,hoist) it took me about 2 days to complete.
