Should I continue wrenching on my '95 V6 Camaro, or sell it & build a Silverado sport truck?

Can't carry much in the back of a '95 Camaro.\n\nIt just depends what use you have for the vehicle.

Take the heavier things off, and decide what is more important. A nice looking, crappy running car or a crappy looking and good running car...

what year chevy  it may not be much considering its only a 4.3 liter.  are you running heads and cam   what size cam?  Ported heads?   what type bolt on?  and what kind of car is it.  Are you looking at high or low end torque?   You may want to get a dyno pull

a solid lift cam from a 1969 302 z28 engine, 202 intake valves, [preferably double hump heads, if you cant find these use 882 casting truck heads and have them cut for 2.02 intake valves.] a 700 double pumper holley, and most importantly,TIMING!!!! I MEAN BOTH IGNITION AND CAM TIMING. BUY A DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING SET AND RUN IT ON THE ADVANCED MARK. THEN BUY A RECURVE KIT FOR YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, RUN THE VACUUM LINE TO THE PORT ON THE CARB THAT SUCKS VACUUM ON ACCELERATION. WHEN YOU SET YOUR TIMING, REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM AND HOLD IT THERE. ADVANCE THE TIMING UNTIL THE ENGINE BEGINS TO MISS OUT, THEN BACK THE TIMING OFF UNTIL IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AGAIN, AND TIGHTEN IT UP, THEN RE-HOOK YOUR VACUUM LINE TO THE CARB. DOING THIS WILL ENSURE YOU THAT THE CAM TIMING AND IGNITION TIMING ARE ON THE SAME AXIS, A MUST FOR STREET CAR PERFORMANCE, YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN PREMIUM FUEL, I RECOMMEND AMACO ULTIMATE, GOOD LUCK.

no, it's not stupid.  and can be done.  you will need to change out the tranny though.  a good C6 will bolt up to your 302, and perform very well.  you will have to take your driveline to a reputable driveline shop and have it modified to fit the length of your new engine and tranny combo.  as for your differential, as long as you're not drag racing this thing it should handle the torque and horses nicely.  if what you want is to launch the truck and pull some nice quarter mile times, then yes replace the entire rear end with that of a full size truck, that would take a bit of modification to do.  i would use the ranger's original diff and just be sure that it is full of clean extreme duty gear lube.

With great care and a bunch of money! Both engines will fit and work but transmissionn is different and axles differ also.  If you have the complete car the other engine is coming out of...  Then you have all of the parts you need. If not.....  Yer makin' a mistake!

Come on man... Its a Miller... you can get most of the parts you need for a full rebuild at a hardware store. Try Marvel for a manual.

i'd say your best all around fun to drive and economic would be the acura tsx... but if you want a car that you can modify and hold you, your spouse, and kids but can perform as well or better than a corvette at your weekend autoX event i'd go with a subaru sti or mitsu evo.\n\nit all depends wether your leaning towards practical daily driving ability or fun on back roads and competitions

Don't waste your money.Buy a car with a V8,and build that one.You can pick up an old 5.0 Mustang or a V8 Camaro from the mid to late 80's pretty cheap.Go get a HOT ROD MAGAZINE,you'll get plenty of ideas from it.

If the 370hp Ram is rated at 370 at the motor and not the wheels then yes, if the hp is rated at the wheels then again it's gonna be close, as both trucks are heavy anyway.\n\nWhere are you at, I know of a certain 2002 Chevy that would put some $$$$ on the line, it's just a lil' ol' VORTEC; ) surely no match for the big bad HEMI.  If you're close to Ark. give me a holler, it can be arranged.

Ebay always has chevy truck parts... Only bad part is if your looking for parts on a truck thats 1988 or newer, you have to look through a million pages of tailights.

Take a motor mechanic with you, if you know one. If not ask around until you find one. I would avoid the imported ones as they tend to have higher prices on spare parts. \n\nAlso, shop around as there plenty of second hand vehicles to choose from and dont be backwards about bartering for a cheaper price with the sales people.

depends on what you call cheap. you can get a used camaro or t-bird with plenty of power, and i mean, over 300 stock for the 350, and more for a big block, tuned right, they have pretty good gas mileage as long as you dont go barrel assing down the highway\nalso, small four bangers with intake, exhaust, and timing adjustments, can have a good amount of power but without the fuel cost of a bigger engine. look for a standard transmission, they usually have better gears and better fuel mileage.

Pistons are good. But I also like camshafts, connecting rods, and cylinders.

yep, screw it in, just don't screw it up.  they make a sweet little tool that helps out with this, and it dirt cheap.  check with your local parts store
