Engines?

Does anyone know a good website where I can buy a new or used 2000 Chevy Camaro V6 engine?

Re: Engines?

i would check out http://www.car-part.com/

most of the stuff will probably be used and comes from local junkyards

Yea, I really like that site. Getting a "hold me over till I finish my orig 3.4" .. 3.4 lol.

Very extensive option list and can really narrow down search times.

Check out some of the 3.8s that LKQ has through their search or on ebay. They usually have lower mileage options at good prices.

I would just rebuild the one you have if possible, upgrade it with some power adders and you'll probably be happier. But if nothing else, local junk yards is the first place to look.

Re: Engines?

Re: Engines?

You can also use a series III like a 08" NA L26 engine , you just need to swap over your oil pan, upper/lower intakes, Tb and oil filter housing. But the L26 has forged L32 rods and the heads have bigger exhaust ports, also the heads are better than pre 98' heads which are prone to cracking and valve guides braking.

Re: Engines?

not to thread jack or anything, but how much more power does a series III make over a series II?

Re: Engines?

They are the same just stronger/better parts.

Re: Engines?

o ok cool. so is their any difference between a grand prix 3.8 block and a camaro 3.8 block?

Re: Engines?

I was thinking about just rebuilding the one I have, but haven't really decided yet.

Re: Engines?
