fictionwriter Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey all, This is Nate from Lancaster, Ohio. I live on Sheridan Drive. My ride is a 92 Camaro RS 3.1 v6. It's a pretty slow car really. There aren't many mods for the 60*V6's - Sometimes I wish I had a Mustang instead, there's all kinds of things available for those. They don't even make a supercharger for the 3.1. Mods - Ploy Transmission mounts accel ign coil Performance disty and rotor button with brass connections iroc-z dual snorkel intake spohn wonderbar energy suspension poly endlinks all new car audio and custom interior pieces. 180* Thermostat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fictionwriter Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Small block it. Dollar for dollar it would be the best idea. I'd love to drop in a 5.7l 350. Sadly I live in an apartment (and would be fined/evicted for doing an engine swap in the lot lol) and I'm not advanced enough to do an engine swap by myself yet. But hey, that's why I joined! I'll pick up an engine from craigslist if anyone can point me in the direction of a good speedshop that could install it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Not a bad looking car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Just about all 60* stuff will interchange. 3.8s in the newer cars are 90*V6s so obviously that stuff is different. You can do all kinds of stuff to your car if you want, but I would just enjoy driving it, and save up for a second car with V8. Welcome to the site, at least you have a decent intro.

fictionwriter Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 yeah... sometimes I think I was born in the wrong decade. lol - but seriously, I had a mulletish thing going on in highschool. Since I got out of the navy it's just been the whole no hair haircut thing. lol. I should probably mention that my car looks so good b/c it sat in a garage for 10 years without being started. I bought it from this strange old man in Jackson ohio. When I got the car I had to replace 90% of the sensors, freeze plugs, thermostat - it was all rusted to shit. lol But the body looks great from underneath - no rust at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow1647545513 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 The V8 swap into these cars is pretty straight forward actually. Especially if you stick with a carb. But, you would need a tranny as well. Nice looking car either way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Welcome! The car looks awesome! I have a shittly looking '92 RS with a TBI 305. I'm planning on a 350, 383, or LS1 swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(except for mentioning a Mustang) yep, anything that will work on a 2.8 or 3.4 will work on a 3.1, even the heads and intakes (which is a bad idea unless you know what your doing lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty novice and not confident enough to try and make stuff fit... yet. No thats not true. Most of it was made for the 2.8 and 3.1 v6. All RWD 60 degree v6's have Iron heads with 1.72 x 1.42 valves, the bore is 3.5 on both the 2.8 and 3.1 , with the 2.8 having a 2.99 throw and the 3.1 having a 3.31 throw, thats off my head. I am a 60 v6 guru lol. They made headers for that car. They made a paxton kit for the f body 3.1. If you go the 60 v6 route I can help you with anything advise wise. But I would consider a v8 car before that in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Welcome. When your ready to do that engine swap let me know. I know 3rd gens in and out. Ive got a set of IROC wheels if your interested. And a set of IROC springs if you'd like those too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadz89GTA Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 For a V8 swap you'd need the tranny crossmember I believe, and the front suspension parts from a V8 car, other then that if you go carb it's just drop it in and bolt the thing up. A good website for you to research this on before you sgtart buying parts for someone on here to swap it is thirdgen.org they know EVERYTHING you can do that car as it's been done 100000x over. And as for 614 saying to start with a V8 car for a 350 swap, BAH!! V6 car for the lower insurance man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
