Build the v6 or trade up.

RedJewelSS · 06-06-2010, 07:45 PM

trade it in would be my first choice. if your dead set on a swap why not go big? ls7 anyone?

It would probably be cheaper to go the FI route rather than basically buy a another new car.

But really, what kind of a reply would you expect?
Hey I want to put a duramax 6.6 turbo diesel into my SS? What do y'all think? DUH

That would be cool.

SELL THE V6 CAMARO AND BUY AN SS CAMARO............................................ ................

Wow what a tool

Even better: Save your pennies for the Z/28

2SSARMY · 06-06-2010, 09:56 PM

If you have enough money to do that swap, you might as well just get a vette.

dafishman53 · 06-06-2010, 10:06 PM

I also originally bought a used 2LT V6. I took my lumps and traded it for a 1SS after about a month. It ended up costing me about two grand. Much cheaper than what the conversion would cost. Just my two cents.

+1... aside from the fact Fbodfather said the front subframe is different on the V6 to V8 car, so it ain't happening.

zayzaydaboss · 06-07-2010, 12:54 AM

when i get a little more money, im swapping my v6 with a LS7 engine brand new!! then i'll do tune ups!! only reason i wanted a v6 because even if i got the v8 i was going to swap the engine with better one with more power.. =)
