So I wanted some suggestions on what kind of engine I should put in my 2002 SS Camaro?
Thanks for the feedback in advance

You're going to have to provide some info. What are your power expectations? Are you wanting to go naturally aspirated? Boosted? Nitrous? Is this car a daily? What are you looking for? There are literally hundreds of different engines and combinations, but to help you narrow them down we are going to need more to go on.

I want naturally aspirated. I'm lookin to get close to 500 hp. It's a daily driver also. Also has to be fuel injected. Wanna keep the price under 10 grand.
Thanks guys

I think you're looking for the parts wanted section.

Because if you had a 2002 SS and wanted 500 horsepower. A good port job from Texas speed, 750$ and a cam package 1000$ should get you close.

You want to buy an engine that makes 500, maybe around 5-6 thousand for a drop in ready one at the most

Yeah I could do that but I want to keep this car forever and I don't want to put bolt ons with the mileage it has. I rather put a new engine in it that makes that much hp and go from there

Check out places like Thompson Motorsports and Texas Speed. They have great prices
