[wynne6343]

hi i have a '98 v6 camaro and am currently converting it to an SS i have everything so far from the hood to the paint and the wheels i cant afford the LS1 engine and i recently blew the head gasgets in my 3.8L V6 so i am now bidding on a 5.7 TPI 350 with the computer and all the components needed to install but what i dont know is will it fit in a 98 model it came out of a 91 TA

It won't drop straight in but with some new mounts and some fabrication it will work, but it will take work so if your a lazy one of expect it just to drop in and work, then this isn't a swap for you. Another good forum for Domestic cars is www.performance-shop.com
They will be able to tell u more.

your 3.8L V6 has 200hp and 225 ft-lbs of torque and the tpi 5.7L has 240hp and 340 ft-lbs of torque. personally id wait and get a 5.7L LT1 they arent that expensive and you'll get more out of it.
