Big Block?

Has N E 1 put a big block i a third gen? If you have where do your headers go? I'd like to see some pics if you have some.

I know that i'm not retarded. Where are they as in fire wall and fender space. A small block looks tight in there so would a big block and full legth headers fit in the engine bay.

Here you go:

Find the engine swap forum. Look at the sticky that's at the top. It's called "BBC Swap Info."

OMG that is one of the best things i've seen in a long time. I pondered this with my dad for hours and i said it was possible. He told me it wasn't b/c there isn't enough room. I'll have him read that BBC swap info. Thanx

A few people have done it. As for headers, custom made, hooker supercomp swap headers and Lemon headers are you're choices. I've got a 427 in the garage waiting to be put together, 80% chance it's going into the Camaro
