96 V-6 Firebird. Whats the best V-8 swap?
My cousin just blew his motor in his 96 firebird and wants to swap in a v-8. He found a 95 LT1 full swap with rearend for 4 grand. is that a good price? What would be the best swap for the money? What swap has the most power? Any help would be appreciated.

Was the $4K for the Motor, trans and rearend? If it is for the whole drive train thats a good price. If it is just the motor and rear then no. The motors can be found for around $2k.

V8 4th gen swap = big pain in the ass. It's easier to buy a new car.
