Posted July 22, 201015 yr Ok I am just letting those who are interested know that I have started on my build and you all are invited to watch and give advice if you all could. Please do comment and SUBSCRIBE it would really help me out and show support to the racing world, if we won't support one another who will?My original plan was to do a plain v6 swap but then I said "nah." After a lot of research and craigslist ads I decided to do a v8 swap. I priced what it would run to do a v6 to v8 conversion and the price was outrageous. I heard anything from $3500 to $5000 bucks. THAT IS THE PRICE OF A DECENT 2000 Camaro/Firebird LS1 ($5000 range). So I just happened to be on Craigslist one night and saw a good looking Firebird Formula and I checked it out. A few days later I offered the guy that owned the firebird my beat up camao (that runs) for his Firebird (that doesn't run). He checked out my camaro and we had a deal. So that is the story behind the Change of heart. Just a few pics I have left when I had both camaro's. Mainly the ugly black one. Here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBr7r2-WdWQ
July 22, 201015 yr Author When I looked at it this Firebird Formula comes with dual exhaust, posi rearend, and the stock LT1 accessories. So IMO as a trade for that old Crappy black Camaro I came out on top. So this is my NEW project
