Big block in a gen 4?
Anyone heard of someone putting a BBC in a gen 4 camaro? and how hard would it be?

The stock 350 small block just barely fits between the stock strut towers. No way in hell you're going to fit a big block without extensively modifying the chassis and body of the car.

You really dont need a BBC you can do alot with the lsx platform... The possibilities are endless..

Put it in a eighties S-10 or a luv. Mad light and full frame for good strength!

That 454 would be badass in a short wheelbase Chevy pickup.

You could pick up a Monte Carlo SS fairly cheap, and drop it in there easily.

I have a 86 short wide just don't wanna do it cuz of the weight, a little s-10 would be nice though. I can also get a 88 TA v6 cheaper insurence 1000 bucks, just dont like the front end.

Sorry firebird firehawk whatever their called never really been a fan of any of them I like the camaro better. And to me the monte carlo is to heavy, I also got a 67 chevelle that was the plan with the BB just can't wait to hurry an put it in somthing. Plus I don't wanna cut it up or anything cuz I have the original motor and trans.

BMR makes a K-member for this swap. If you run a carb you need to cut the cowl a bit and run a higher hood scoop.

I would drop it into a 3rd gen. I also have a 86 TA with a WS6 hood and it almost looks as good as 4 gen ws6ers. Pick one up for cheap.
