Oil Pressure
I bought a used 94 Firebird V6 with about 190K on it, everything is fine until it gets warm then the oil pressure drops to zero on the dash but when I rev it it comes back up. Any ideas?

Just a little rattling which I was assuming was the exhaust or possibly a cat heat shield, I haven't had a lot of time or money to do much of anything to it. During the summer when I used it a couple of times the engine temp would get a little warm but not overheating and when I would be on the highway and moving 50 or above the temp would be rather low I am assuming the thermostat is stuck open but I haven't had the time or tools to change it.

just recently had that same little racket under my car at 199k, thought it was my clutch so i replaced, still made racket. then the radiator blew so i replaced then the oil gauge did exactly as u described and 3 days after the noise got bad worse. Come to find out that noice was a spun crank bearing. I can almost promise u its not the sending unit but at that milage ur oil pump has quit so the gauge is reading right. id advise have this checked out before u end up in the boat i did and having to buy a new motor why didnt i put an LS1 back in its place

I have been considering an engine swap for the future any ideas what it would cost for parts or an idea where to go to find out? Could I put an LS2 in there or would it be cheaper to get a 02 TA for all the labor and parts (I would have to have a shop do the install)?

if u dont wanna put the v6 back in i think it would be cheaper in the long run to buy a newer T/A but it is possible to put a lsx in your car but you have to change wiring harness, computer, and bellhousing on the transmission. in the end of that process you will be doing this
