Default Camaro Engine / engine bay pics?
Just been doing some google searching and not really been able to find any pics LS3 Camaro engine or the engine bay...

Anybody have any pics or links (or even key words) where I could look?

Will the new camaro use the same engine accessory config as the corvette? (both using the same engine after all).

I am interested to see what the config is like as maybe an alternative to the '98 camaro parts I currently have for my own conversion project

thanks

P.S. forum search is working at the moment on any of my PCs...

Nice engine shots... as usual... GM keeps on making the changing of spark plugs a very interesting task.

I wouldn't mind having the engine in front of the cowl. Plugs look like cake compared to the 4th gens.

I think the engine cover is an option?

Or maybe having it color matched is?...

The engine bay looks like a trunk to me, I guess it's that weathstripping. So GTO owners, does this camaro have more room under the hood than you guys or are the GTO's the best as far as room to work on the motor.

Glad to see they tucked the engine nearer to the firewall than on the prototype. I was worried it would have too much weight up front. Still wish the engine was mashed into the firewall like on our cars...that makes for some damn good balance.
