what should i be expecting to wait on with this swap. for example the exhaust, will it line up, will it not work. those kinda things

 

do a search

 

There have been a lot of V6 to V8 swap threads with some good info. A lot of guys say it's not worth it unless you already have a V8 parts car. It comes down to a bunch of little pieces, springs, motor mounts, etc. Obviously you'll need the harness/ecm/engine too. Unless you already have a motor lined up, I'd wait for a 350.

the guy that i'm getting the camaro from already has a 88 parts car firebird i think that he's getting the motor out of and he said that he'd sell me the camaro and the motor with trans. for 700

 

Is it TBI or TPI?

 

i'm not sure all he's told me so far is that he pulled it out of a 88 firebird. i'm gonna try to find out as soon as possible. also TBI is Throttle Body Injection?

 

Yep, and TPI is Tuned Port Injection.

 

Do yourself a favor and go to at least a 350. I had the 2.8 also. You might as well do it right the first time. You're going to need to go to headers (to make it easier) and different motor mounts. I used stock mounts from a 79 camaro. What trans do you want to use?

 

i'm not sure i was gonna use what ever would come with the engine. but what would be the best one to have? i would prefer it to be manual.
