To me, this whole conversation feels like the OP wants to force a square peg through a circle hole. Not many companies make things for people who want to do this because it makes no financial sense to them to make something most people would never buy.

To put it simply: the V6 Camaro has many little things that make it a very different Camaro than an SS. These differences are what cause many aftermarket companies, as well as mechanics, from wanting to do what you are asking for. The V6, even down to things like its wiring harnesses and brakes, are incompatible with a V8 upgrade. You would be replacing so much of your care that it would make more sense to buy a new V8 Camaro and then put the items off the V6 you want in the new Camaro than the other way around.

Also, even though you claim there is no limit to your budget for this, the fact that you came on here with such a broad and open question tells me there has been little to no research done on your part before you posted this. But, if you have done thorough and deep research -- and found no information or options available to your situation, then that should have been a sign that what you are trying to do is, as I said earlier, fit a square peg through a circle hole. Either way, it shows a lack of knowledge in understanding of the gravity and complexity of what you are trying to accomplish.

[QUOTE=Alan47717;11197161]Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but if your pockets are deep enough there are a number of 400+ hp twin turbo Cadillac versions of that engine. Find a used one, take what you need and sell what's left for parts. An ATS-V has 462 hp and plugs into the same engine compartment as your car.[/QUOTEthis would seem to be your best bet,but buy the whole car so you can get all the wiring,etc. that you might need.
