Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Broad statement, Rolo...how far do you want to go?
Including trans? Manual or auto? Rear end? Suspension? Cooling system? Tune and computer flash? If you do suspension, are you going to do brakes as long as you're there? You doing the work, or are you farming it out? Parts only, or parts and labor?
Lotta questions if you want specifics...

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
I want to stick it to auto..of course I want to upgrade the rear brakes to disc instead of the brake drums
Um..might find someone to do it for me, or have someone help me and give me a hand (new to this so might be best for someone to do it for me, but i want to learn)
How much would it cost for a shop to do it?
What ever the main things are to do the swap, if there are things i really dont need then I dont really care for it..just the main things to get the motor under the hood and have it riding right with nothing breaking and what not.

If you want it done right, everything I listed there should be done.
Does it all have to be done at the same time? Almost. The suspension and brakes can be done at another time.
A shop will charge $50-75 an hour to do it, but there's a couple of guys here on the board that are certified ASE mechanics (Larry, 1BADAIR, comes to mind...I know there's at least one or two more) who would be extremely helpful.
Long story short, I'll let one of the LS gurus chime in here, but I'm betting 8 to 10 grand to do it right, and that's with some help. And don't forget to budget for the little stuff (i.e. tuning, driveshaft, etc.) 'cause that is what will break you.

not bad on the price..this is more for my friend than me..he dont have internet and he has a 3.4 in his cam and wants to swap, so im trying to get him all the basics and quotes from mifbody lol
Yea I would love to do a swap but its very pricey..and I would never sell my car..only if i really really kick me in the ass gun to the face have to sell it then I would
unless u just REALLY love ur car i would just save for a LS1 car..
x2...for a couple grand more you have a complete car...
