Can this be done?

Ok...
I have a 1985 Olds with a great running V8 engine(307?)and a good OD trans.I was wondering if I could take the engine and trans and put it in my 1986 Camaro just to get it running.For now the goal is to get it running with what ive got.So...would it work?

Its just a bad idea plain and simple if your going for anything resembling performance.

You would be much better off selling that 307 to buy a 305, It would swap in ALOT easier!!! Even better a 350!
