i have a 1970's 454 sitting at home and i was wondering if i could swap that into a 1988-1995 camaro, if so how much work would be involved and whats needed?

 

It will fit in a 82-92, but it will be tight. I don't know if you could even cram it into a 4th gen (93+).

 

I wouldn't think you could get that into a fourth gen. Since have the LT1/LS1 sits underneath the dash. Clearance would be a huge issue.

It is interesting to note that I have seen big block hoods for 4th gens for sale.

 

Ya, I would even hate to do a SBC swap in a 4th gen, everything is packed in there.

 

I wouldnt see why it wouldnt fit if a new hood was used...

The camaro ZL-1 concept has a 572ci or somewhere in the high 500's in a 4rth gen.

And as for thirdgens... the largest i have seen in real life... at our local car shows someguy had a 702ci in there... that thing was massive

 

Of course it will fit. There are a number of people that I have seen successfully pull this swap off.

 

Huh, it'd be intresting to see a BBC in a 4th gen. Anybody have pics of this?

 

Here is the ZL-1 Concept:hail:
