I would vote for the 3800. I have one in my monte carlo. It is front wheel drive but I am sure they can be made rwd. It gets 29 mpg on the highway and they make turbo kits for them. I have heard of 700 rwhp out of these.

You can buy a running 3800 V6 camaro/firebird for less than a grand and it will have a 4l60e trans . Might even have a real 7.5 posi unit and rear disc brakes . Dont know for sure but if the these parts will fit a S-10 rear axle then you could swap that stuff also . Im sure the "doner drive shaft could be shortened also . Also cutting up the fan shroud to yeild the electric fans Then Craigslist or scrap the rest .

It will be awhile, I blew my extra cash on buying the luv. But I like the idea. What year Camaro?
Only thing is I already own the Saturn. And I now see a reason not just call the scrap guy... But it is the plastic body.
The places that buy junk cars. Last time I heard they were giving $125 for a car.

Found 95 -2001 has that engine which appears to be based on old Buick V6. 95 could be either the 3.4 or the 3800.

Damn man. What I would not give for a extra $900 bucks right now. Does not look like it has a wiring harness or ecm. I will have to call them.

The throttle body is at the back side(tranny) side of the engine. Still looking at things.
