LS6 Engine in a 1982 Camaro
I have a 1982 Camaro and I am kicking aroung the idea of putting an LS6 Corvette engine in it with a 6 speed. Does anyone have the specifics on what is involved to make this swap possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

um.....actually it isn't a waste of money.
The LS6 engine is pricey, but you can pick up LS1 longblocks for not too much these days and since it is probably the best small block ever made, you can get horridous horsepower numbers out of them for little money at all
do a search for LS1-IROCZ, he lives in wisconsin and did the swap
