Ok so im keeping the 3.4L V6 I have in it for now, It has 50 thousand miles on it. I will be buying a crate motor later down the road maybe 6 months from now, probably a 383 stroker or something Im not sure yet. However for now tomorrow im buying new rims and tires for it, and I recently changed the oil, fuel filter, spark plugs & wires, cleaned the injectors and flushed the radiator....

I priced everything I want to do to it and it wasnt that bad... here is the list of what I want to do:

1. Snyper 3 bodykit
2. Snyper 3 hood
3. Cross drilled rotors
4. Tint - 5%
5. Paint (im thinking black with silver stripes w/ blue outline
6. Taillights - black housing altezzas
7. Clear corner and sidemarker lenses
8. Intake
9. Headers (im thinking pacesetter)
10. Exhaust (im thinking Borla muffer and tip w/ 3" piping)
11. 3:73 rear diff

So im basically making this thread to get some ideas on looks and performance like on what would be the best or most logical idea.... What do you guys think?

Not to sound harsh but the car looks a bit rough, you may be better off trying to find a cleaner LT1 Camaro to start with (since you said you want to do a motor swap) than you will have to invest less money to make it into what you want. Whatever you decide, I would start with the mechanical improvements you want to do, than move to the cosmetics. Good luck.

K thanks... So even if ill be throwin a crate motor meaning ill be getting a new tranny, new computer, new harness and everything I should start with a LT1???

I know you can bore out a 350 into a 383... but what would be the difference if I was to just strip the car of the motor, tranny and everything else?
