Shoehorn fits, nice fiberglass and paint work.

I'm sure a few of these are triple digit pucker-factor rides while others are obvious non-starters!

Doug, Thanks a ton for all the cool pics. There are some real gems in there, and a few butcher jobs. I never thought so many still existed.

I just wanted to let folks know its possible and maybe inspire a few projects like these to completion.

Glad y'all liked them.

3.4 L V6 Camaro Engine

I'm giving deep thought to installing a 3.4L V6 from a 1996-2001 Camaro into my next GT project. The engine fits nicely and gets 19-28mpg with 200 Horsepower! Parts and mechanics are easily accessible.
