biggest engine for a camaro

There really isn't "limit" on what will physically fit...A 514 big block will fit...Legally? No...,but it'll fit. Granted, a scoop will be required for intake clearance, but it'll fit.

Now...Legally?

Gen 1 block...406 small block...
LT, same...
LS....I've seen 472s, but I'm not sure the life of those & don't wanna know the life span! :lmao:

you can fit any engine in your camaro.. its just how much do you want to spend.. just because the displacement number is high, doesnt mean the engine is physically big.. anything from a 283 to a 421+ is the same physical size.. read up about chevy engines before you get yourself into a pickle with engine stuff..

theres alot of things that you can learn from magazines.. go to the store and pickup a chevy car mag.. car stuff is like any other hobby.. you dont want to fight in the UFC if you dont know anything about it.. :2cents:

All SBC engines are the same size externally so any size SBC will fit. You can also drop in any short deck BBC. A tall deck BBC takes a bit more custom work.

I have a 540 BBC in mine but it's not street legal.

now why is it not street legal? is there a horsepower regulation or will it not pass inspection?

Pretty sure he has a track only car. Every state has different laws, inspection, emissions, etc.
Somebody was doing a viper V-10 swap. Not sure if it ever got finished? But a big block will fit in there fairly easy.

there are 3rd gen's out there with 959 cubic inch engines. the actual cubic inch number is INTERNAL, the physical size of the engine is either small block, big block, v6, v10, etc etc
