our engine bays are exactly the same as the v8's. And it depends what kind of V8 you want to put in. Alot of them will not directly bolt in without ****in around with the motor mounts1996 Pontiac Firebird<br />Flowmaster Exhaust, Custom Cold Air Intake, 3.42 gears with LSD -

That's what I was thinking. I will be rebuilding a 1973 350 4bolt soon and was thinking of a future place to put it...Originally posted by HBHRacing:

I dont think the HEI would fit, but was curious about a regular one with a magnito, etc.
Also, if anyone has any pics, or can find them, with 4th gens that have carbed and distributerred v8s that would be awesome.
did a few searches on google but didnt come up with much. thanks for the replies96 Camaro 3.8 A4 Basemodel: 8 mm wires, Shift Kit, Hollowed <br />Cat(o2 sims), RKSport exhaust, IAT 5.6K resistor, Home Depot CAI<br />>>>15.375 @ 89.27<<<NEW BEST TIME <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/552491\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/552491</a>Comment

You don't have to "hack the windshield". The main issue will be the plastic cowl overhang. On the car we did this to, we removed most if not all of that black plastic piece. The windshield however, was still intact and sealing fine [img]smile.gif[/img]<a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a> THE SOURCE!Comment

It might be easier to put in a FORD V8!

ANyways, here is the story. I currently have a th350 and will be rebuilding a 350 sbc this winter. it has a shift kit right now, should i go ahead after my engine blows up.
96 camaro 350, th350 trans, could this still be a decent driver or more of a drag car. oh yeah, about 375+ hp. .500 + cam, ported heads, intake, headers etc.
my BIGGEST QUESTION is should i do the swap after my engine blows or just replace it with another 3.8???????????
FYI my car has 151,000 miles on it i drive HARD and i mean HARD. still runs like a top, any ideas on how much longer it will last??96 Camaro 3.8 A4 Basemodel: 8 mm wires, Shift Kit, Hollowed <br />Cat(o2 sims), RKSport exhaust, IAT 5.6K resistor, Home Depot CAI<br />>>>15.375 @ 89.27<<<NEW BEST TIME <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/552491\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/552491</a>Comment
