Yes, but the minimal performance gains (and lack of aftermarket) make it cost prohibitive.

okay, kid, you are sounding very unintelligent. There is more to modifying a car than just shoe horning the biggest engine you can fit under the hood.

you don't have great cars simply because they have big engines and obscene amounts of horsepower. there is this thing called balance.

a v8 tc would only have straight line performance, but would have terrible braking and handling because of the aweful weight bias.

that is why methods of forced induction are better, because they can increase power output greatly without drastically increasing weight.

now if you want a v8 muscle car, the tc isn't the car for you.

LS1 TC ftw! Everyone is doing it

But on a real note I don't see the point of swaping a v6 in the tc. Doesn't seem worth it and you would be looking at alot of $$$ to complete the swap.
