Good engine for V6 to V8 swap?
Is this a good donor for my 89 v6 firebird?

Re: Pontiac V8 Swaps
This thread is for Pontiac engs. into 3rd gens. Your Firebird V-6, and Chevy V-8 conversion is a typical installation best answered in the V-6, to V-8 thread, listed at the bottom of the "Eng Swap" threads.
But to answer your question, the basic motor will probably be a good candidate, but doubt much else will work.

Re: Pontiac V8 Swaps
Once again, go back to the "Eng. Swap" column, and punch in V-6 to V-8 swap. It's at the bottom of the page. That's where you'll find accurate info. See ya and good luck.

Re: Good engine for V6 to V8 swap?
I moved your post out of the Pontiac V8 swap thread, as you aren't talking about a Pontiac V8.
As was stated in that thread, check the V6 to V8 swap sticky.
