ATS-V engine swap?? - Page 3

Do it! No limit of funds and you can practically do any combo motor chassis swap these days... although forging your current v6 and adding twins would probably be more cost effective and less a headache

Literally the only thing wrong with the ats-v is that they didn’t throw an lt1 in it.

Ats-v motor in a camaro, pretty much the worst swap idea I’ve ever heard

I guess if cost didn't matter, why have a V6 Camaro in the first place? I'd have gone ZL1 and call it a day. I know... better gas mileage in the V6.

Adunno why anyone would want to downgrade the horsepower in an ATS-V by swapping the 3.6 TT to an LT1 V8, but that's just me.

Overkill supercharger with Stage 2 upgrade will get you to LT1 horsepower with nothing else done to the motor and a weekend install.

The one complaint I see most often with the ATSV (apart from the gauges) is the engine. Not that it isn't powerful or good for modding, but that it doesn't have enough character.

If you swap in an LT1 engine with GMs cam and head package then you will jump to 535BHP and 470lb-ft of torque.

I can understand wanting the V8 sound of course, power wise the 3.6 TT wins until you start boosting the V8.
