ls6 into 2000 camaro help i kno this has probually been covered, or is just really simple, but i have searched and found nothing...i was wondering was all it takes to drop in a corvette z06 engine (ls6) with the tranny into a 2000 v6 camar0...is it just pull and place? are the wiring harnesses similar so the vette engine will wire up...any special things i will need such as bigger radiator (i kno i will need this)
any help or link appreciated.

you need all the computer harness associated with the donor V8.
you *may* need to replace the fuel pump, but the tanks are the same
i think you will have to replace the fuel lines
motor and transmission mounts need to be changed
in reality it is not that difficult, V6s have the same suspension and brakes as Z28s, only real diffrence is the motor
i belive the radiators are the same also

so where can i get the mounts, and does will i need to purchase a WHOLE engine harness, im going to buy a swap with a harness if i can but it will most likely be cut, so will it wire to the v6 harness or will i need to pull the v6 harness and wire it all up with the vette harness?

Zo6's have a long transmission that runs to the rear diff...you need a standard-T56...your best bet would be to get a 2000-up Camaro LS1, and then if you really want it to be a Zo6, swap over the heads/cam....or just put a better heads/cam combo in it to make more power than a stock zo6.

what fine 69 said...and then reap the insurance benefits of having a "V6 camaro" on paper. You should highly consider doin a cam/head swap on a 01-02 LS1 (since it will have the LS6 intake manifold already) while the motor is out of the car and before you put it in.

hate to ask such easy questions but approx how much does a head/cam package cost...i could get labor for free or cheap so im not worried about that and i wouldnt wanan do actualy machine head work bc i kno that costs big, so how much would the upgraded heads and cam costs....i wanan try and keep the swap under 4500.00...is that too unrealistic?

well the reason is cuz i got a 2000 v6 camaro for 2900 bucks...and i want more out of it, and i know a swap is possible, and its not that difficult, and i have alot of friends with good knowledge on this sort of thing and would help, but this forum is helping alot though, i might need to reconsider a budget, but still what do you guys think it would cost, i wish i knew someone who has done it, how do i find out if my tranny has a POSI, its a 5spd but i dont think that makes a differance does it?
i will need:
engine
tranny
mounts
ECU
harness
fuel lines
rear end (possibly)
anything else?

im sorry i did mean rear end and i kno the t56 is a 6 spd. those are just typos, and im really not doing the work, i know a few guys that are capable of doing the swap, but i need to get the stuff first, i just really want a v8 in there, i thought about a turbo kit but they are waay too expensive and its not worth it makin the stock power of an ls1(until you go internal engine parts and crank the boost) the truth is i just got into domestic, i had a honda civic in which i swapped in a b18c1 and boosted
rack&Pinion, refrigeration lines, radiator, hoses, v8 kmember dead correct harness for a 2000 unless you mind a little tinkering with a few connections, Exhaust manifolds, headers, y pipe,catback,clutch ,slave, master cylinder, pedal asm, custom tune, all front accessories and f-body brackets, Shifter asm either auto or stick, lots of moneey & patience.
in my oppinion if you really wanna do the swap and still save money is to buy a whole ls1 f-body that is totaled from water damage or has frame damage, you'll have every thing you need and whatever is left you can part out and make some money back. you should be able to find a whole totaled f-body for around 3000 (just guessing but im not really sure)
