I'd almost consider doing a swap like that in my next project... If the idea of 260rwhp from a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder didn't excite me so much
The OP's car is 20 years old and a lot has changed in that time.

The 2018 Camaro's ratings are:

25 mpg - 2.0L I4 Turbo
23 mpg - 3.6L V6
20 mpg - 6.2L V8

The OP's car is rated at 18 mpg

I've had the V6 Camaro multiple times as a rental car and usually average about 28 to 30 mpg with a mix of back roads and highway. Fun car to drive for a week but I wouldn't want to own one.
