  • engine swap

    I have a 1998 V6 Camaro with high mileage, I have recently purchased an engine from a 1999 Pontiac Firebird V6 with only 12,000 miles on it. I plan on making this swap. I am to understand, that I need to keep my intake and throttle body from my 98. Is this so? Thanks in advance. Marty

    You shouldn't need to, that is if the new engine has them. The Camaro and Firebird engines are set up exactly the same

      going off the tech database, the straigh tb manifold had teh throttle by wire setup, so yes, keep your '98 upper manifold & tb & swap it over.

          I see. If you are swapping computers, then use the new intake and tb. But you will also need the pedal sensor and wires.

          Otherwise, it is like 3.4 said.
