The v6 can make a lot of power with a few mods from Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop or jegs

Why make a camaro, an American muscle car into a weak Frankenstein?

The TS started this thread last year, wonder what happened since then...

If folks here can convert Expeditions into Isuzu diesels, I'm sure this won't be a problem. But then the car's value would definitely plummet if you install a surplus Jap truck engine usually meant for jeepneys under the hood. Imagine a muscle car sounding like a jeepney... A more powerful, fuel injected GM V8 plus LPG would've been a better option.
