Default Parting out the Camaro..

I'm planning on parting out the Camaro, so I figured I would give heads up to anyone here looking for a turn-key LSX Swap with everything included to make it run in your car, all you will have to do is install it. I figured since I have everything required to make it work in a LT1 car that I would give the LT1 guys a heads up.

All wiring will go together..as in the Body, Engine compartment, and Engine Harness is a single functioning unit. PCM will go with it aswell. Nothing will be seperated. I do have the capability to tune it, so I can adjust anything that needs to be adjusted before it goes.

Engine will go on the K-member with Steering Rack & Linkage(LS1 Brakes can be included), complete from the MAF Sensor to the Headers, with the Custom Fuel Lines and Vette Regulator that is needed to make it all work. Walbro Fuel Pump installed in the Sending Unit will be included aswell. Textralia Clutch Kit will be going with the Engine, it's one of the few things that will hold up. All Accessories except AC are on the Engine, these will be included.

EDIT- Engine itself can be seperated, I understand that someone may want a swap package, but not that Engine setup. If that happens, it will come complete from the Throttle Body to the Clutch Kit, Headers not included. Clutch can come off if it's an Auto Car.

The Built T56 wil go with the Engine or seperate..Trans and B&M Ripper Shifter won't be seperated, unless I get solid offers for both.

Suspension parts & other things will sell as they come off the car, but I wanted to get the Engine/Tranny setup out here for anyone seriously interested. I'm in Iraq at the moment and wont be back for a couple of months, the car has been properly setup for storage so it's fine sitting.

This should give a good heads up to save for it..I wont part the car till the Engine sells, so that way it can be driven and seen in person to judge running condition.

PM me if you want the detials or any other info.

PS- This is just a message for the major components and for people that want to put serious thought into it cause it's not going to be cheap..I'm not takin offers for the small stuff..

I want a different car, and I don't want to maintain 2 toys..the money here will help pay for the new one.

That and someone else can have fun with all this good stuff instead of it sitting around.

Tranny won't fit, and Engine will break alot of expensive parts..that and not be really that practical in a CTSV. When it comes time to re-build that LS6 I'll keep it stock, have it Balanced, and maybe a small Cam. I have my HP Tuners now so I can tune it.

I personally wouldn't mind a G8 GT or GXP myself. A CTS-V is just plain sexy

That would be a CTS..not a CTS-V.



This winter was when I planned on swapping everything over to the new Chassis..that in itself is pretty much a complete part-out and install..so I figure I'll do half the work, sell it all, and get something else that I want and have fun with that.

To me the CTSV will be nice cause me and all my friends can go out all together and have some fun..it's a nice comfortable and enjoyable ride too.

Oh..I think I know what you were trying to get at..

Hey if you think it's fucked up or somethin then why you worried about it? You don't plan on buyin it so stfu and carry on somewhere else.

I would think if you really wanted to sell you could use the proper forum:

Parts Classifieds


I'll give you a dollar if you throw in a free leak down.

^^Refer to the last sentence of my previous post.


I don't come in here down-talking your car, why do you feel the need to do it to mine?

I dunno. Probably because this thread belongs in a classified section so.... I'll up the ante- A dollar fifty. Money talks, but you have to promise that free leak down done by a place of my choosing.

I'm feeling generous so I'll give you a bit of advice- Since your project is deemed more or less a performance car it would be a better selling point if you used the correct forum and if you waited until you could run it at the track so you can prove all those torque snapping promises that have been generated time and time again. Let's just say if I were buying your engine to put in my car, I would really want to know I was not just buying a pile of garbage. What you type on here isn't a good enough selling point.

Well it's been proven time and time again that you fail at reading, this is another testament to that.

This is not a thread to sell it right here, right now. This is more directed as a heads up for what I plan on doing in a couple of months. I've stated that.

Here it is again for you..

This should give a good heads up to save for it..I wont part the car till the Engine sells, so that way it can be driven and seen in person to judge running condition.

Wow, I even said that someone could come out in person.


Try reading next time.
