i was gonna get an L98 vette engin to put in my 85 camaro and i just wanted to know if it would work out and how much hp it has

 

The blocks are the same. What year is it for the HP answer?

 

i'm not sure i just know it is an L98
but i did find out all the hp for the years on the vette's

 

I think the ECM, Prom and harnesses are all the same for 85-86. I went to a 350 TPI and everything except one or two sensors and the fuel injectors were pretty much the same.

the good thing is if you are making a high power high reving engine the corvette engine is a 4 bolt main with a forged steel crank. that is the same block that I have and am currently rebuilding.

Absolutely NOT!!! '85 F and Y body ECM and PROMs are unique.

85F-body, I highly advise that you buy "Jaguars that Run's" book on TPI and TBI Swapping.

Actually, the Vette L98 block is a 2 bolt main too. It wasn't until the LT1 block that they used 4 bolt mains.

And the eproms and ecms are different from the F-body, depending on the year. Vettes used a slighlty different ecm that was designed to work under the hood. On the SD eprom, the Vette's also had a sensor input for the Oil Temperature. If you use a Vette eprom in an F-body, you must disable the Oil Temperature Sensor reading or you will trigger an SES code. Not sure about MAF cars, but it wouldn't surprise me to find a similar parameter.

But you can most certainly use the Vette L98 in an F-body. Just make sure you know all the subtle differences. There are a few.
