engine swap

How bad is the front end damage? Is the subframe damaged too? If it's just sheet metal damage it would be easier to mount the good front end on the V-8 car.

Rebuild the V6 and give me the V8 harness :)

Seriously, you should be able to swap the harness (it goes into the passenger side at the kick panel, to connect to the ECM) and ecm and it ought to work. The underhood harness plugs in on the drivers side, there's a screw in the middle of the big square connector. I suggest you get hold of a 1988 Camaro GM service manual, though. It would tell you about what's different in the wiring for the different engines.

You realize that you have to swap transmissions also? they use a different bellhousing bolt pattern. And all the hoses and engine mounts and stuff will be different.

yes knew about tranny was just worried that I would have to do something under dash other then ecm

the front radiator support is twisted and pretty crappy but have already removed it and got a replacement piece out of an 83 just haven't put it back in yet I really need a garage if it's not to hot to work outside it is raining lately but fall and winters coming and hope to get alot more done on something

just floating ideas about getting at least one of the two back on the road

Thanx
