Is it possible to buy a Camaro without an engine? Plan to get the Hennessy HPE 800 package and they don't use the LS3. I don't see a point in having an engine just lying around.

You could always sell it.

how much would a brand new v8 engine go for? also that just provides an extra hassle of selling the Engine

thahemp · 03-03-2013, 08:50 PM

Piece of cake around here. It'll sell in the classifieds if you price it right.

Its a dealer installed option (to remove), but no problem, dealer will use it when some young punk blows an engine & demands warranty coverage.....

Smirnoff · 03-03-2013, 08:55 PM

BTW: Order a 6 banger to also save some money.....

Unfortunately you can't. They do have an option I believe is called "Body in White" but this is just the body, no interior, no drive train, no nothing.

You mean order a V6 if you want to spend more money. There is more difference between the two cars then just the engine. The cost required to upgrade a V6 to be able to handle what he is planning on doing will be a lot more then the cost difference between a V6 and V8.

There are sponsors here that also will buy your motor.

You have to replace the transmission then.

ROB's 2013 2SS · 03-03-2013, 09:56 PM

how much could you sell the v8 for? Brand new?

dekan513 · 03-03-2013, 10:19 PM

i would guess 5-8 k depending on how fast u wnat to sell and what comes with it.

thahemp · 03-03-2013, 10:20 PM

What is that blatant advertising crap in your signature? That is annoying.

I can go buy a new LS3 for about $7500 it looks like (from a very quick google search).

I am joined to a survey site. They have me involved in a referral program where if I promote them they get me referrals which equals more $$$. Honest program as I have been with them since November. I also have a couple other survey sites that I really am enjoying. So far I've earned about $250 from the other ones.
