You'd need the the engine and transmission to start with, V6 trans. is not a bolt on to the V8. Then there are the motor mounts, exhaust, fuel supply considerations, etc. Sure would be a nice upgrade though.

"Easy" would depend on your experience level at doing engine swaps.

As above, nothing that connects to the V6 will connect to the V8.

Re: El camino 350 for camaro

Same as any other 6-cyl to small block V8 swap. 350, El Camino, and all that, doesn't matter.

Read what ironwill directed you towards, and decide for yourself from there, whether it's "easy".
