Default Engine Swap

I'm looking to drop a v8 into my 94 Camaro RS v6. Any suggestions into what motors will drop in easiest and will mate with my 4l60e automatic transmission. I was looking for either a ls6 or even a ls1 motor, so any information anyone has will more then be appreciated

You'll need to upgrade alot seeing its going into a V6 car...I would try to part ways w/ your current car and start shopping for a LS car...and no a LS series motor wont work w/ your V6 tranny

Are you sure because all models with an automatic transmission use that same 4 speed 4l60-e tranny. I have a friend with a 2000 z28 and its automatic with the same transmission. I dont think his motor has the aluminium block, but still is mated to the same transmission thats in my v6

Im pretty sure the front plate and bell housing are different just off the top of my head.
