Just wondering... if someone bought a V6 camaro and replaced the stock V6 with a 911 Carrera S Cabriolet 3.8-liter 355 horsepower flat-six, would the V8 guys still have bitch about? Im just wondering and I know that it would take a lot of modification, but could be done.

power is power... but i payed a lot less for my V8 power

355hp out of 3.8L?

that makes me think,
how much more tq can you get out of it NA on 91oct?
how much more tq can you get out of it w/ 91oct boosted?

i think a poorshe flat six might spin up a bit and help the hp rating

but what about torque?


and..

i dont understand your question

Why would you waste time and money putting that motor in, the stock v6 can be modded to make better power than that for alot less money, and in the end you have an almost maxed out v6 putting out close to 450hp maybe more after ALOT of $$, or a LS1 with a cam and headers making the same numbers...seems like no brainer to me.

I'd be a lot more impressed with a V6 Camaro using a LC2 231ci turbo buick V6 setup. If you're gonna build a V6 anything, make it a buick V6. LC2s have tons of aftermarket support as well, and probably not nearly as pricey as the motor you suggested.

Personally, I have no problem with V6 F-bodies, or V6s period. But it seems to me that the money involved to do a conversion from an L36 3800 Series II V6 F-body to a more "exotic" type of V6 just isn't cost effective if the primary goal is simply going fast with an F-body. It'll be cheaper in the long run to just get the V8 model and go from there.

The Buick TC 3.8 would be cool. Would be easier to make ECU changes also.

I wouldn't mind seeing the 911 motor though. I bet its too expensive to repair or mod but it would be a nice car show vehicle.

What was the intended purpose of this question? You're not going to do it, so why even ask?

"Hey, doodz! Wouldn't it be like, really cool to put a 911 Carrera S Cabriolet 3.8-liter 355 horsepower flat-six in a Camaro?!"

Did you just want to say "911 Carrera S Cabriolet 3.8-liter 355 horsepower flat-six?" And, why was it bold? Was 355 horse power supposed to be impressive?

"Would the V8 guys still have bitch about it?" So you wanted flamed? Why? This damn board is bursting at the seams! Hell, I can't even get on LS1Tech on my dial-up account. We don't need more bull ****!

Be different and cool at the same time: get your stocker up to 355 rwhp. It'll cost you less money at the same time. People who take big engines and put them in little cars are cool. People who take little engines and put them in big cars are not.

God why do people get pissed on this site! Im just saying it would be nice to see a 6 cylinder camaro that could be like ya I have a 6 and it will kick some ***. Ya a flat six with 355 hp is impressive. Im not going to do it... I already removed my 6 cylinder from my RS and replaced it with a LS6.

I pulled my buick 231 out of my 79 Elky and replaced it with a 572. It is a nice engine, and I still have it but it still doesnt put out the hp that the porsche does stock... with or without the turbo.

Oh and Sharpe no need to be such a DICK, didnt say I was doing it. And what is a RS/Z28 Bone stock. I have explainded my 97 RS/SS in sig.

I'm also just wondering, what if the sky was orange..what if birds lived underwater...what if there was peace on earth...what if people would stop asking stupid irrelevant questions...

And to answer your question, I'd still bitch because its still a 6 cylinder Camaro and not a V8 because anything thats not a V8 can't possibly be fast. I mean, I think that is every V8 owners mindset.

Who cares about stock? If you're going to do a V6 transplant, there's nothing stock about that anyway, so why would you leave the motor stock? Dollar per dollar, I'd bet that a 3.8L buick V6 (turbo, FI, intercooled, LC2 found stock in '86/'87 GN- not a carbed '79 longblock) can be made to seriously overpower a porsche 3.8L 6 cylinder....again, that's dollar for dollar. I'm sure the porsche motor could be modded to keep up, but at what cost?

I suggested to a friend of mine that we install a Ford flathead V-8 in his late model Mustang.......now how cool would that be to be blown away by a flathead Ford in a new Mustang!!

I don't think the flat 6 would fit between the strut towers of a camaro

am I the only one who read this, a 572 that doesn't make 355hp

I don't think that's what he meant. I thought so at first as well, but I think what he was trying to say is the following..... (my comments are in the bold [ ]):

At least I hope that's what he meant. Because I agree, a 572 making less than 355hp has some SERIOUS issues.

That is what I ment. Just dont get much time at work with all the F-15s landing to type a detailed message. The 572 in my elky is well worth 700hp, and its back in New Mexico until I can come back from deployments to Iraq or get stationed at a better base.

What was the name of that site where they did different heads/cam packages for the 3.8? I imagine with a few thousand the 3.8 would be capable of making 355hp.. Ported heads, bigger cam, higher compression, headers, worked over intake.. I don't see why not. Probably a ton cheaper to do that and make 355hp with a domestic v6.. then you can laugh at all the guys with porsche's who think their is something magical about their puny 355hp

Peace,
