ls6 in camaro???
I want to know how hard it would be to put a Z06 motor in an automatic camaro SS. The camaro is a 2000, the engine has everything but intake, and exhaust manifold? Is it worth the 3500 for the engine with 6000 miles on it?

It should bolt right in, and then just need some minor tuning. No intake or exhaust manifolds? Great excuse to get a 78mm fast intake and some long tubes...

you will just need to remove the EGR system if you plan on buying the correct LS6 intake for it. and please dont use an LS1. there is no reason to choke a perfectly good LS6 like that.

Perhaps his old motor is "Kaput"
In any case, if I had the dough, I would not pass a LS6 motor for that price. Great base to make even more power in the future.

Have you taken the run from Dubai to Abu Dhabi - open Highway. However I love the Speed Humps in the middle of the highway half way between the cities. Have you can open it up there? By the way I did not know of any drag ways in UAE - are there any?

One is being built in DUBAI, IHRA specs (cost $100,000 000). That one should be ready in 2006.

Hey guys thanks for ur input, my old motor is not dead but is definately losing power, i'm not sure waht wrong between work and college and the fact that it's all i have to drive I never get a chance to take it to the shop. All I have in my area is a 1000 ft track and I was running 10.8 with the mods in my signature and now I'm only getting like 11.2 with same track conditions. I'm getting beat by stock Z28's and stock gt's can see my car at least now, I don't like that. I just thought maybe the ls6 would be a really good base to start inon after I got the motor paid for. Thanks.

If you can get that LS6 with that few miles for that price then do it. You will have more power, and a nice low mileage engine not to worry about. Hell, with full bolt on's an LS6 can get pretty close to the magic 400rwhp number too...
