Exclamation 1997 Camaro Owner Here

From the St. Louis area and new to the forum.

Hoping I can get a lot of great info on an engine swap.

As I currently have a 3.8 V6 that loves to smoke and run rough!

Hoping I can put either a LT1 or LS engine in with an automatic 4L60e tranny.

I've been a gear head for years but have not had a cool car in ages either.

Wish I still had my 1969 Camaro, its crazy what those are fetching in price these days!

I had a 1967 C/10 I was going to fix up. Brought it to a body shop where I met another gear head. He and I became friends and he is a great mechanic and body guy. He has put out some great classic Camaros over the years.

Wish I had the talent and drive he has to do it and he makes it look easy. I'm just over 50 years old but still a kid at heart and love muscle cars and fast cars in general.

Hoping I'll be able to share some of my limited learnings over the years with anyone that will listen.

Thanks and everyone have a safe summer! And get out there and do some cruising and wrench turning!

Welcome to the forum RazorzChevy! Sounds like that 3.8 needs to find a new home at the junk yard and an LS needs to take up residency!
