All of you are wrong! The first step is to do more research. You're trying to swap a V6 with a V8. Why do you want the 6.2L V8? You're clearly only choosing that V8 in order to clone the SS. That's a meaningless upgrade. If you're going to do custom work with a car, then you need to make it worth your time and money. It will cost you a lot to get a V8 in there. You're better off getting the body in white for $7,000 and starting from scratch.

If you have a V6, then I would start considering building it for forced induction. Hennessey is considering a kit for the LLT, and that will carry a premium of $6,000 for about 400rwhp on the V6, making it competitive with the V8.
