[QUOTE="Burbanhunter, post: 6908336, member: 619429"] Ok I have 2 Camaro's (1994 and 1996) and they both are Stock V6's. One Camaro (1994) runs and has a beat up body/ interior and the other Camaro (1996) has a great body and interior but has no motor. My original plan was to just do a basic Motor swap, but then I started reading and watching youtube videos about Camaro's and decided that I want to do a V8 conversion. It will be lot of work trying to find everything I need, and I was prepared for that, but I was on Craigslist today and saw a 1994 Firebird that had a blown motor (LT1 V8) and the transmission is said to be in excellent condition, it also has a posi rearend on it. Should I get it with the risk of a FUBAR motor or just continue searching. He doesn't know what is wrong with the motor and I don't want to buy it for the motor and find out that it is FUBAR. I plan on having the motor rebuilt if it is possible. The guy is firm on 800 bucks and the Firebird actually looks good inside and out. IF I get it will it be possible to convert 1994 Firebird parts to a 1996 Camaro? I am new to this so take it easy on me. Black Camaro is the 1994 running Camaro Green Camaro is the 1996 Non running Camaro [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05905.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05907.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05906.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05851.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05860.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05848.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05910.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/tripleb45/DSC05920.jpg[/IMG] I am in the process of selling the black Camaro so that won't be in the picture long unless I need to part some things from it.
