Big block in a gen 4?

[Doug_J]

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

[Wesman]

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.

what I was thinking. I would like to get a fox body mustang and do it even though my family would kick my butt. would like to put on the back built ford tough with chevy stuff. lol

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

Yea but the thing is I already have a built 454, now I'm just trying to find me a car to put it in.

Drop it in a 3rd gen its a solid cheap platform.

Wanna buy a V8 3rd gen cheap? Az car with no rust....

i saw a pontiac 428 in a 99 T/A one time it fit like an ls engine, i know the BBC is bigger then the pontiac just my .02

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.

[Blackbird WS6]

i say go with the Monte Carlo SS 87 or 88, i had an 87 SS and i wanted to do the same thing but never had the time so i sold it

No such thing as a V-6 T/A

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.

I don't know how much you think the Monte weighs, but my 86 SS with T-tops weighs the same as my Camaro vert. 3600, and with a big block, a couple hundred pounds is nothing.

[Blackbird WS6]

there is alot of pats for sale now a days to cut down on weight on the monte SS

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.
