Im 16 and I have a 1988 Firebird with a 2.8l V6 auto. For my senior project I want to turn the car into a slight sleeper. I know the V6 car only be taking so far but what I'm hoping to make out of it is about 250hp or hell I'll be happy with 200hp.

I want to do and engine swap from a 4gen with a 3.4l. Build it hybrid using gen3 60*V6 heads. Forged internals if I can find them. And possibly a turbo. 5 speed if I can get one from a junkyard. I'm not looking to much into nitrous, maybe a small shot of like 50. This project isn't really going to start until the summer when I have time and money. I have about two years to reach my goal. I should be getting my drivers license next month also.

The first thing I have lined up for this car is this Sunday I'm buying a POSI rear with disk breaks and 3.42's.

Any one have other idea that could help my project along performance wise or just good car knowledge in general? I'm not new to cars or engines. My dad is a mechanic and he'll be most of my help for this project.

 

Summit Racing is your best bet. They seem to have everything for the 60* v6. I've already started up my wishlist through them and will be purchasing my first performance parts in a week or two. Yay!

 

Will 2.8/3.1 Cams with the 3.4 engine?
