VERY VERY different!

There would be a lot of things to change and quite a few custom parts, such as mounts to start with.
The SSEi Charger would need to be replaced with a different model or modified heavily, due to the TB beaing above the bellhousing, among many other changes, and custom parts.

FWD to RWD., so trans wont work
The super charger TB sticks off the rear, which will hit the fire wall.


Trust me, I have a 91 camaro, and an l67 in garage, I have looked, and looked hard.

However, many years ago on ebay, I saw a 55chevy with an L67 in it Not sure what trans he used to make it work in a rwd application.

sure its easy if your wanting to make a fWD 3rd gen.

just drop the whole bonn engine cradle n front end. all one piece.
weld bolt and fab it into the front of of a 3rd gen.

though for all that trouble, id just stick it in the back seat and have a mid engine 3rd gen.

Thanks for your answers, one guy has suggested to put me the engine from BMW M5 3.8. But as it seems to me will demand greater alterations (
