My father and I have worked on and off for the past 8 months or so to convert my 3.1L V6 Camaro to a 5.7L V8.

This is just the raw video because I am excited to have it running lol

Also, ignore the fact that I'm jumping around like a little school girl. Like I said, I was/am very excited. Enjoy.

  • nice. the white car, is tht a firebird or camaro 78?

  • it's a 77 Trans Am. Nice eye!

  • dude i have the same car, well, mines a 92 rs with the 3.1 v6 what motor and tranny did you use and were did you find it. i want to do the same thing, is that an lt1 or ls1?

    very nice car bro, love he red, do it in a third gen

  • The motor is actually out of a 1990 Van. It is a 350 5.7L Throttle Body. Your 3.1 should also be a throttle body. We went with the 1990 motor because this kept the computers nearly the same. We still had to re-pin the connectors but it actually wasn't that bad lol

  • Nice! how much did it run ya?

  • not much. I believe we were under $2K for everything. If not, it couldn't have been too much more than $2500!

see all

  • oh header paint. naturally it is going to smoke. ESPECIALLY if you put it on manifolds. i was going to say valve cover leak onto manifold, which was my problem. damn thing still leaks today (its warped and i never got around to replacing the passenger side one, and i was too cheap to duble gasket it. even though now that i think about it 327 rocker cover gaskets are cheaper than a tube of silly-cone.)

  • hey man i have a 92 25th anniversary 3.1 and im wanting to put a 350 out of a 89 k 1500 gmc truck. this motor and 700r tranny was in a 3rd gen. camaro before. can i use the computer out of the truck and hook it up to my wiring harness? all in all will this be very hard or near im possible to do??? thanks for your time and please respond

  • Why was it smoking?

  • did you have a 90-92 computer issue with speedo on dash is only a 6cyl dash, did you exchange dash , or custom gauges

  • what bell housing and tranny did you use and did you have to change the cross member that holds the tranny i have a 89 2.8 v6 with a 5 speed and i wanna do the same thing

  • @MajestikSkillz Camaro 88-89

  • @Drakedragon1315 yea he did. wasnt sure at the time
