Default 1995 Chevy Camaro 3.4L V6

Traded the last of our DSMs for a 1995 Chevy Camaro 3.4L V6 (Auto)
It Drives well, just needs New Tires, and the Suspension's kinda' loose in the front, nothing big though. Also needs a New Belt Tensioner Bearing, thing Chirps like Crazy!
Really not putting a lot of Money into it, since I'm saving all my dough for the tC, but the plan is to get it running well, Paint it, New Wheels, Tires, and go to the Boneyard to find some Interior Pieces.
Any ideas on what to do with this?

Mullet
Lynard Skynard sleevless t shirt
Unexplainable hate for Ford owners
Molly Hatchet's "flirting with disaster" playing non stop
Primer a few panels
Done!

Honestly... LT1 (if you can, find one from a cop caprice), Manual Swap, Fuzzy Dice, and all of the above!

I was thinking of a Swap, can get ahold of an LS1 w/6spd for around $2-3k, but again, focusing on the tC more than anything else.
Actually, might just fix it up, and Trade for another Eclipse or something.

the camaro will be cheaper to run in the long run and more power can easily be made with the simple mods

keep the tC as the parts getter car

LS1 swap + S/C + slicks = 10's on pump gas.

I'd pour the money into the Camaro and just leave the tC stock.

We're mainly focusing on getting it running perfect, and then going to paint it, and do a front end conversion, not a fan of those deep set eyes, haha'.
I own it with my friend, we've owned all our DSMs together, along with a few other projects, and now I've got the tC, and he's got an 07' LX which he's getting a widebody for, so we're both sorta' hesitant about dropping loads of cash into making the Camaro a beast. I want a 6spd for it, but he doesn't know how to drive stick, nor does he want to.

I've been through a 92 TSi, two 98' GS's, and a 98' GSX.
The TSI was a 5spd, the rest Auto.
