'97 Camaro V6 to V8 Engine Swap
#Camaro #EngineSwap #Cammed
A few clips I threw together from a project I finished a while back with Kyle Hirt.
This car came to us as a 1997 Camaro RS with a V6 engine and we swapped an LS1 V8 into it from a '98 Trans Am. The easiest way to complete this swap was to drop the entire front crossmember with Engine, trans, and suspension out of the Trans am and simply bolt it into the Camaro.
We sourced a computer from a 98 LS1 F-body camaro and purchased a custom made wire harness from BP Automotive. Everything was plug an play and there was very little fabrication needed.
The Engine received a refresh of the top end with a new Texas Speed cam, dual valve springs, and chromoly 5/16 pushrods. We also upgraded a few other engine parts as needed such as the oil pump and water pump.
