price of engine + transmission + ECU + clearance issues + labor + a bazillion other things = enough to buy a good z28. You'll give the car money and sweat and she'll give you a 14 second 1/4 mile. Whether that's good or bad is up to you.
The oil pan is bolted to the bottom of the engine
Simplistically, 8 cylinder engines have a bigger fuel consumption than 6 cylinder engine because you burn fuel in two more cylinders. But, in the same time, will give you more thrust because you use that extra burned fuel to generate more thrust by moving more pistons. The is very basic. The number of cylinders are not the only factor determining the fuel consumption and thrust of an engine but in general the above statement is true.
Basically you just pull the 6 cylinder out and bolt the 8 cylinder in. Several more steps than that are required to do it right tho. Depending on the year of the vehicle, you could need a new computer and wiring harness, as well as a new or upgraded transmission to handle the increased power output of the bigger engine. The swap could be as simple as taking one out and putting the new one in, bolting it up, and putting in the required intake and exhaust components. But 90% of the time, its never that simple.
