'00 V6 Camaro 5.3 Swap? I currently have a '00 Camaro V6 & I've been doing some searching around, and I'm really considering a 5.3 swap. All the LS1's I've found have been extremely expensive and being a senior in high school, I don't have that kind of money at this point, unfortunately. The 5.3 I found came from a Chevy 1500 Pick-up & only has 83k miles on it for $500 OBO.
From what I've gathered, I need the following...
LS1 K-Member
LS1/6 Intake
Fuel Pump (From an LS1 or Walboro 255)
Fuel Lines
Input Shaft (For Transmission)
I plan on doing a nitrous setup for sure, and maybe even a turbo setup to go along with it, because I know the 5.3's work very well with boost. I don't think I'm going to completely build the entire motor, because that'll be really expensive - but I AM going to do a cam (hot cam or a LS6), rods & pistons, etc. setup.
I'll be doing all the work on it solely myself. If that list is wrong, could someone point in the right direction, please? And how much do you think the entire swap would cost?
Thank you!
