4th to 3rd gen swap
Can i swap a 4th generation Z28 Motor (i dont know the exact year) into my 3rd generation 1985 Camaro?

Re: 4th to 3rd gen swap
before making your FIRST post here, one that has been asked (AND ANSWERED) a million times.

There is little you can think of to ask, that hasn't been asked and answered. goes a LONG WAY.

Re: 4th to 3rd gen swap
Short answer is, yes you can.
I'll point you in the right direction. Check out this thread
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/en...swap-read.html (V6 to V8 Swap - READ BEFORE POSTING NEW!)
Also I would find out that engine. It is mostly a LS1 or LT1
For LS1 - http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...want-swap.html
For LT1 - http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...questions.html (Common LT1 Swap Questions And Answers)
