I have a 95 3.4 v6 and I want to do the conversion to the catfish look because of how it will look afterwards when I'm done so what would be required?

I'd spend the money on some "go" before spending on "show" You'd be throwing money away you'll NEVER see back if you did that on a 160hp V6 car. At least if you do a LS swap you're actually adding some value to the car; once you do that and at least double the HP (insurance company will never know ) THEN worry appearance mods, all show no go is for ricers and such...just saying

Well that is what I plan on doing if I could find a decent priced ls2 or ls3 I want to put it in there cause what I have been reading is it would be cheaper to do that instead of boosting the v6

Sounds like you need to do some homework before you dig into a project like this...

There is no such thing as a 350 big block...

Not to mention, by the time you make your car look and run like an LS1 car, you might as well just buy an LS1 car. You can get a decent enough car to start with for $4K or so. You would have way more into swapping your car.

Wow thread back from the dead lol

At any rate the only ls1 Camaros get seen as better looking then lt1 in my opinion is the fact that it has a ls1 between the frame rails. There like a butter faced women.

I love LT1 Z28'ss and SS's but the only LS1 camaro that looks good is the SS. Z28s need help.
