Not to mention, when you go to sell it...any prospective buyer is going to be very leary of a car that's had an engine swap.
Just my .02 on it, but do what makes ya happy. 
BTW - should be getting my ZL1 from CarMax here in the next week or two. Had one shipped in from Ohio. I'm out in Paulding county. |
Well the swap i was looking at was a crate engine from Chevy themsevles which has the ECU+Wire harness already included as part of the package. only thing i didn't consider was the fuel pumps which i've found some from pull-a-part which was awesome. Personally I don't plan on ever selling this car. This was my dream car ever since i got my first job at 18 years old (grant it only turning 30 now but still) to own a Camaro,and fell in love with this model specifically when they came back in 2010. As nice as the new Gen 6 camaros are this car is going no where. =)
I was just simply hoping that maybe someone might have some insight on everything like you just pointed out somethings i didn't think about like the fuel pump.
