It is pricey to go to an Ls engine or even one out of a say 92-94 Camaro. Computer, wiring, fuel pump, exhaust system, cooling system the list is large, but doable over a period of time. If it is a tight budget keeping your engine and rebuilding it might be a better choice. The conversion can dollar you to broke. I always use the double it cost when I calculate the expense of a modification to any my cars or other projects. Then there is the while I have this apart, why not do this factor!
