its the 10:1 compression version from 1968, and actually weighs less than a big block chevy.
In that case the choice is yours to make
Obviously it isn't going to be a straight bolt in fit with things like headers, engine & trans mounts etc needing to be fabricated. Of course things like clearance of the sump to crossmember need to be checked, followed by clearance to the firewall, heater matrix, servo, steering box etc. Will it mate up to the trans ok or will you need an adaptor & will the prop need shortening? If the oil filter is front mounted on that engine like the 500's, then I believe it might have clearance probs with the front anti roll bar, so a remote one might need to be fitted. I'm sure I don't need to tell you,there's a whole bunch of things to consider when doing something like this, which is certainly not a common swap. Only you can decide if you feel that it's worth the effort. Anything is do-able with effort, time & money, it just depends on how much effort you want to put in I guess
cheers...Nige
It'll be a lot easier than that Nige, the camaro is tube framed, therefore no crossmember, the firewall is about 10-12 inches back from the stock position, along with a healthy set back of engine, the steering is by rack and pinion, mounted in front of the engine, no heaters or servo, and the engine and box are on motorplates.
The headers will need fabricated though, (i already have a pair of flanges, and have built headers before on my tube framed 71 camaro that i had a few years ago).
The question i'm asking is, whether the swap would a good idea as i could do it for around £200?
