    I like where you're going with this!!!

    My thoughts: I wouldn't think it would weigh much more than the V-6, so you probably can get away with using the same springs.

    You will run into wiring issues with this swap. If your not intimidated by it, I would suggest buying a kit from Ron Francis, Haywire, or Painless to remedy this.

    And the other thing is the transmission. From what I've read, the only transmission GM put in the third-gen camaro that could handle a 350, was the 700-R4. So unless you have one in the car already, you may be doing a tranny swap too.

    Just my 2-cents..... keep us posted on your progress.

    A 2004R should work just as well, maybe better than a 700R4, plus a little better at hiway cruising.
