454 swap to 83 z28

how hard is it to swap a 454 into a 83 z28, i've never done a engine swap before, I want to do it myself good learing for me. I've got a 91 454 with rv cam edlebrock intake and carb with about 40,000 miles in my 75 el camino that im going to pull for the camaro. what will i need to do the swap?

Re: 454 swap to 83 z28

This came up a couple of weeks ago, and at the time, the sticky was broken. So start with this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...-454-swap.html

The 454 mounts just like your 305, using your 305 mounts. You can use the transmission from the 305, but the 454 will break it, very soon.
