Default how much for a 4th gen vert v6?

My dad is recently retired and looking for a project.

I've been tempted to put a big block in my SS but money and not wanting to take my daily driver out of commission has kept me from it.

So i'm going to suggest that he get a V6 convertible and put a big block in that.

About how much are v6 convertibles going for? 93-02 in good shape with less than 100,000 miles

i wouldn't pay much more than 4k, there's a couple guys in the sales section selling project cars that don't have motors. As far as verts i'm not sure, i looked at one a few months back with similar plans as you, 100K+ miles auto, he wanted 5500 which i thought was kinda on the pricey side, oh it was a camaro 98-02 style. good luck

Im sure if you look you can find them as low as 2ish but im sure they will be as high as 8-9 depending on year, options, condition, and miles.

Is there an outift that makes a kit to aid in the swap? This seems like a really great project idea...
