  • Engine swap - but not sure if its worth it

    i need more opinions on this matter...

    my buddy's father just bought a 1976 camaro with a carb. 350 in it with a 4 speed tran. the transmission and engine are in good shape, and have only 65,000 miles on it compared to my 145,000 miles on my v6

    he said he'd give me the engine and transmission with componets for $1,000 installed. the engine has headers on it already, but honeslty, i think my v6 sounds better....

    i think thats a good deal but i dont want that 4 speed because i do a descent amount of highway miles, and i read the previous thread about speedo and rpm calibration.

    would my 5 spd tran. mount up to the 350? and is this a good deal or should i just keep the v6, im not really looking forward to getting -10 mpg

    Your V6 has more power...

    Bad move in my opinion
