exactly how hard is it to put a BBC in our Camaros or birds?
My dad, brother and I all have 3rd gen f-bod's but my Dad wants to be true to his roots and get a BBC in his 91 Camaro. We have a V6 camaro that we can do it to or a V8 camaro....which would be easier to do it in.......what all is involved. Is it hard?

It's not too hard from what I've heard. The real stinker is the exhaust. Do a search on "Big Block", you'll come up with a lot.

It should fit but it's not as easy a swap as on a third gen. Then engine sits farther under the firewall so clearances should be even worse.

Putting a BBC in a 4th gen has been done but it's a hack job at best.
Their was one sold on ebay recently with a 454 (had pics and everything) I just can't remember where I saw the post that refered me to it, here or on another 3rd gen site. Sorry.

Look through some old Hot rod magazines they did three that I am aware of and listed all the factory part numbers. Buy good headers (not hookers) and the swap is relatively easy. I have some third gen BBC swap parts for sale if interested.
