new camaro!

picked this baby up last weekend, in trade for my (gross) 88 stepside, andf a 96 cutlass. haha.

only thing it needs is a V-8
right now its a 2.8 v6 auto, but im thinking something like a 305, i know where there is one for next to nothing, or a bored out 4.3...this is my daily driver going 40 miles a day for work, so i would like to save some money at the pump with a v6...thoughts? let me know if the picture sucks, ill try and fix it

I knew a guy that had 300K on a V6 Firebird about the same year. He got 30 plus on the freeway.

Lot of work to swap a 305, I wonder if its that big of a gain over the 6?

Re: new camaro!

Nice camaros!!! I just started tinkering with my 83 Z28. It's a 305/5spd and the clutch linkage is messed up. I'm hoping to have good weather this weekend so I can get some welding done on the z bar. Ever go to thirdgen.org?
