Default V6-v8

I Just got a hold of a nice 99 Camaro V6. I've been lookin for a V8 for the longest but this was my cousins husband and they gave it to me for the extreme low low. I was wondering how hard a V8 Swap would be and how much you think it could be done for. Tryn to see if i want to swap or keep the V8 and get a V8 SS as well.

Just keep the 6 as the daily and grab a clean SS. Maybe if you run into some extra cash you can put a motor in the V6

Don't waste your time/money. Just buy the SS. It will cost more than it is worth to do a swap. Especially if you don't do all the work yourself.

If you're considering doing a motor swap in a V6, you'd be better off just trading the car for a V8 model. It would cost you less, it would be less work, and you'd have less issues with it.
