Google:

Summit Racing

and

Classic Industries

 

If you're looking for performance upgrades the only thing you'll find for the engine is headers, there are a lot of things you can do with these engines though, you just have to look around on the forum.

 

I'm finding a lot of things for my 87firebird from the Classic Industries Catalog

 

Sticky: "after market parts for 60* motors" at the top of the v6 section. Most of the links don't work, but Google easily finds the parts.

 

Not true. I've found a bunch of cams, rocker arms, even stainless valves as well. Just no aftermarket intakes or heads, and only one company makes headers anymore, although occasionally Hedman or some other non-Pacesetter brand headers pop up on eBay. Fuel injectors are plentiful, replacement ignition systems as well, with direct hookups for the existing distributor. Just don't expect to find a direct-fit engine management system or too much in the way of computer chips.

Sometimes you just have to visit the manufacturers' websites directly, and even then you might have to call them to see if they actually have any parts, because the big race part houses don't generally carry parts for RWD V6 engines short of the 3.8 or the 4.3, or headers for S10's and the like (which don't work so don't try... they have more ground clearance and a full frame). GM, sadly, no longer lists performance parts for the 60*, which I find BS. You can't even look up the replacement aluminum Bow Tie block anymore, and haven't been able to in a year or so now.

Best places with decent bang for your buck? How's about a junkyard? Any 60* produced after 94 will get you a LOT more power if you swap intakes and cylinder heads (40+HP on heads and intake alone on the crap small-port 94-99 heads). The most restrictive part of our engines is the intake and heads, but the stock iron heads are capable of 250+ HP with the right intakes.

 

oh wow, thx for the help!
does anyone use pacesetter headers? we might buy some...
