V6 (lfx) Starting a new project, this time a '32 Ford roadster and toying with the idea of using a Camaro V6 engine (about 2015). Quick search and there are a bunch of the V6 engines for sale out of an Impala at around $800 BUT the same year Camaro engine is $1700. Think the Impala is FWD and don't know about the bolt pattern. Any input would be welcomed.

Thanks, lots of good info. Have not been able to fine a stand-alone harness yet. Lots of questions and no answers. May save myself headaches by just going with an LS gen 3 or 4.

I’ve been running an LFX in my 66 Chevelle for years and it’s been a great engine. While I modded the factory harness for my project, there are aftermarket, standalone harnesses available.

I just drove my truck back home from mechanics shop today. Had a used LFX installed in my 2015 Canyon. Head gasket went out @ 209,000 miles. The used one has 40,000 that came out of a 2015 Canyon. I beat the heck out of truck every time I drive it so a couple grand more for a used low mile one was a no brainer for me at least. $2k more for used motor vs doing a head gasket.
Good luck with your build
