96 camaro engine swap

I have some bad news about my 92 camaro with a v8. Last week a 80 yr old lady pulled out in front of me at an intersection. Needless to say I t-boned her. Both cars are totaled.

Since I have a donor car, I was looking at a 96 camaro, the minor thing is it has a 3.4 v6. Worry not I am in a non emissions area!

Has anyone done a swap like this? I have several questions...

what kind of headers will work with the body style and older engine type?

What kind of motor mounts will I need?

will this allow the abs to continue working?


I have more but will wait to see how many hits i get.

Thanks!

unless your swaping in a ls1 or lt1 I dont think I would do it. The biggest problem that comes to mind is how do you install the distirbuter? Headers wont be a problem. Lt1 headers will work.
