putting a v8 in a v6?
putting a v8 in a v6? So, im considering picking up a high mileage 2012 v6 camaro i stumbled upon
its a v6 lt package. manual transmission.. real basic.
I was thinking of dropping an iron 6.0 with ls3 top end and eventually making a "zl1" clone of it with the zl1 supercharger kit and some zl1 body parts.
i assume youll need the engine (duh) and the wireharness and a pcm. maybe motor mounts?
what about radiator? front accessories? or the k member? will all of that be the same?
also did any changes occur from 2010-2013?
i know they redid a few things to the motor but
i tried a search but google and wiki arent being helpful

I hate to that guy but it would be cheaper to start with a used V8 5th gen. V6 rearends axles suspension are weak links There was a guy in NC that spent near $20k on doing the swap.

I couldn't agree more. GM global electrical systems also make wiring even more than a PITA than it was swapping V6 to V8 in a 4th gen (and, if you ask me, even those cars its better just starting off with a v8).
