Default have an camaro itch need help.

ok guys i sold my cammed and modded crew cab truck, to buy a daily driver well now that i have me another truck for a daily i really want to put together a nice 99-02 camaro. but in my area im only finding v6 models. the help i need is converting v6 to v8. i have read i will need i think v8 harness,pcm and cluster, and k memeber anything else i would need to make this possible.

engine plans would consist of either stock ebuilt ls3 or do a 418 with a 60 or th400 car will be a track/street mainly street car for weekend rides with the wife and daughter.

thanks for and help given.

I'm attempting that myself on a 99 V6 and I'm sure it will be a challenge.

Parts gathered so far is the V8-k-member, GM V8-engine harness for a T56, LQ9/LS3 370 build in progress. I have a T56 but may sell it to for a PG or TH400 as it will not be able to support my power goals. I'm pretty sure you can flash the ecm as they are the same but with the V6 car being drive by wire I'm not so sure anymore. I'm looking to make this as strip car and still run the factory ecm.

I would expand the search area unless you're just looking for extra challenge for the build.
