Wtf Again
like 2 or 3 months ago i dropped in a 3.8 in my camaro because the one on i had the heads craked because my little brother forgot to put the radiator cap back on. so i live like 15 minutes from the mexican border and we went to my aunts party so my dad decides to come back so he was making line to cross over when the car started to overheat he turned on the fans and nothing, piece of $h!t started smoking everywhere my little brother told me he heard knocking on the engine i think one of the heater hoses came loose. honestly im tired of fixing and fixing and fixing hahahahah honestly i love my camaro and i dont want to but i think its time to let it go ive put in about 5k not in aftermarket parts but stock but it always finds a way to break down. as of right now i dont know whats gonna happend i havent talked to my dad but just in case i already have my eyes on a 05 altima SE-R but will see.

Re: Wtf Again
Yea its an idea but i got the 3.8 for a reason to start with. Ive got a motor i built up in an 85Z. Thats my play car.Originally posted by whitdog54 View Post
****. Nowadays whos got the $$$ to throw into an ls1 swap. I deff dont.
I guess if i had the money to do that I wouldnt be complaining about always throwing money into this thing for repairs.Comment

Re: Wtf Again
I'd search on craigslist, not junkyards. I was quoted $1000 for a 150+K mile motor from a u-pull it yard. Checked on craigslist and found one that night out of a 99 Camaro w/25K miles for $550.~97 3.8L V6 Camaro~
