Default 97 v6 or 97 v8 camaro roller for lsx t56 budget build

would it be the same work with a 97 v6 camaro roller to do a lsx/t56 conversion, or would it be easier to get a v8 roller?

Doesnt really matter your going to have to get LS K member but get the one that is already a manuel save you a lil bit of time and a few bucks in wiring and pedal/install.

it doesnt take much to swap to make it fit an LS engine i did mine for 150 from TPD talk to jason he can hook you up. As for fuel lines you can make it work if you use the vette regulator. You have to cut the old return line and put a piece of rubber hose on it to put it on the return side of the vette filter. You will have to use the stock filter to put on the after side casue of the quick connect so you can put the threaded sided from the stock filter to the stock lines. Might have to bend a few lines to get it all to fit but thats how i had mine rigged till i bought SS braided fuel line and ran new lines but left the factory return line.
