    Conversion questions

     



    I just got a 95 chevy camaro with the stock 3.4 v6 and ive got 2 questions. Could i drop a 350 small block into it and still run it with a 6 cylinder rear? or would it be better to just put a new 3.4 in it and just super charge that?

    If you go with a V-8, you're going to have to change a lot of the electronics, too. Probably be a lot cheaper and easier to stick with a V-6.

    thats what i was leaning towards was the v6 idea. it does seem much easier and cost efficient. any recomendations on what type of kits that i could use to super charge it?

    Can't help you there, never have done much research on v-6 supeerchargers. A google search should turn up some leads to pursue.

    vortech makes one and also the 3800 impala supercharger is interchangeable to your motor

    yeah i was looking at that. A GM website had the whole engine ready in one peace. plus its cheaper buying the supercharger later. i think GM is askin 3500 for it which isnt bad.

    wait a minute. the 3800 supercharger can be put on a 4.3L vortec?? I have an s10 project that I am working on. I was going to drop a 4bolt 350 in but this sounds awesome. Where do I find more information on putting a 3800 supercharger on the 4.3L??
