Bought a v8 swap 2000 Camaro I've been reading into people bashing the v6 to v8 swaps I just want to know if I made a mistake in doing this. As far as how the car runs and drives I would've never been able to tell, everything was done professionally and here is the list of mods
•SS functional Ram-air Hood
•K&N Air Filter
•SLP Intake Cover
•SLP Smooth Intake Bellows
•Granatelli Mass Air Flow Sensor
•BBK Ported and Polished Throttle Body
•LS6 Intake Manifold
•Ported and polished Stock Heads
•Texas Speed Torquer V3 111 L.S.A. Camshaft
•Chrome Molly Push Rods
•Supporting Valve Springs
•Heddman Long Tube Headers
•Pacesetter Y-Pipe
•Magna Flow Cat-Back Exhaust
Drivetrain Performance
•Yank 3600 Stall Lock up torque Converter
•Transmission Built by Ann Arbor Transmission with all Kevlar parts and is rated up to 700 horsepower
•Trans go Shift Kit 2 installed by Ann Arbor transmission with increased pressure, shifts are fast and accurate
•Transmission cooler with stainless steel braided lines
•3.42 Rear Gears
•Bilstein HD Shocks
•U.M.I. 3 Point Sub-frame Connectors
•Spoon Performance Tunnel Brace
•Walbro 255lb fuel pump
•Trick Flow fuel Rails
•Oil pump Ported for increase oil flow
•Dyno tuned by Vector Motorsports for use with Premium gas (93)
•Shift points increased
If I ever decided to sell would the car be worth anything?

No one bashes any one doing the work, its just that these days its easier and probably cheaper to buy a ls1 car.
I used a z28 as donor car for my ls1 swap and my car drives as if it was from factory.
Sounds like you got a fun toy. Enjoy it
As far as resale, I 'd just advertise it as motor swapped car otherwise it may look fishy since the VIN is for a v6 car.
