V8 swap questions

It already has an inline 6 in it, so doing a V6 swap would be pointless and a complete waste of money.
There's a few members on here with V8 swaps, notably @Stinger.
If you want to do this swap you'll need time, patience and money (it won't be cheap).
Virtually everything you want to know about the V8 swap can be found here:

In addition to that, those guys also sell the majority of the parts you need for the conversion as well.

Study on this a bunch! Go to Pirate and the LS sites. Pick my brain. Really understand what you are in for. I am happy with mine but it is a hobby for me and something I have wanted to do since I owned a 1953 Willys pickup a million years ago. Time and energy I have. Like Chris said: this shit ain't cheap, be prepared!
Thank you guys for your feedback I appreciate it ..the reason I was asking about the Camaro V6 is because now they're putting out 300-plus horsepower my motor is only a 4 cylinder ...I ended up buying at 5.3 from a gentleman who bought it for himself and his son as a father and son project but the son bailed out and he's too old to do it alone..70.000. Miles on it I have owned 2 of them the Yukon xl my ex got in the divorce she sold it with 460000 miles on it no that's not a typo and I bought it with 3000 miles on it so I know the longevity of these motors are awesome I'm sure I'm going to have some questions throughout this and if anybody needs a good 4-cylinder motor and transmission let me know
thats awesome, something i wanted to do with my yj 10 years ago but its time and money consuming. Good luck
