Purchasing a Camaro in the next year hopefully. Posted By: Silverado27 On: 11-18-2009 @ 12:19:22 Reply | Edit Plan on getting a nice Red Camaro within the next 12 months...Job willing... Wanted a Z28, but I feel the more fuel efficient route tells me the 3.8 Liter V6 in the 98 (I think) through 2002s might be the better call. Not entirely sure yet what I want to do, and I am sure there have been a lot of posts about this, but was wondering how hard an engine swap from a 3.4 Liter to the 3.8s would be. The reason I ask is because I prefer the look of the 93-97s. Any help would be great.

Thanks for the help, I should have done a little more research... -- 1987 Pontiac Bonneville V6, 3.8 Liter w/o the Supercharger First Car 2002-2004 Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 05-17-2009 @ 22:54:31 Reply | Top | Edit 3.8L started in '95.5.

With mixed driving of highway and city, I get around 22 mpg which aint bad. Your not really going to be saving much on gas compared the V8. -- 2000 Camaro- 3.8, 5- Speed.

I know these seem like stupid questions I just am not as mechanically inclined as most at the moment. -- 1987 Pontiac Bonneville V6, 3.8 Liter w/o the Supercharger First Car 2002-2004 Posted By: Howi152 On: 05-28-2009 @ 01:41:43 Reply | Top | Edit not worth the difference get an lt1 -- rip: 
Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 05-28-2009 @ 12:06:20 Reply | Top | Edit My 97 Camaro V6 got 34.5mpg(yes ACCURATE) on a highway trip and averaged 29 mixed. Anyone who says a stock V6 Fbody gets any less than 25cty/30+hwy either A.)Has a lead foot B.)Needs a tune up or C.)Has mods like gears or something that is known to hurt mpg. Jeremiah can confirm this with me as his V6 got great mileage too. I believe we both were able to pull 400 miles on a road trip and STILL have the marker just under 1/4 tank. (I had a 15.5gal tank) Why did I sell that car???!?! Oh yeah, to get the one in sig.

I was still getting 25-27mpg mixed even with my 3.73s. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix ..only own GM and always will
