Well it was done a while ago. But I think it was awsome idea, especially since the camaro was a non SS or z28 car and originally came with a inline 6 anyways... Well at least I thought it did. Besides us LS1'ers pretty much swap our motors into everything regardless if it fits or not hahahah. Well done swap and definately different.

One is not a 'hater' for wanting tradition to survive.
Something (tradition), that gen rice has forgotten (or has had pounded/brainwashed out of their heads by Japan, Inc.).
NOT everyone has to worship your 'infallible, indestructable, unbeatable, perfect, etc., etc.'<-
ad nauseum GTE idol motor, as you fanboyzz do!! 
That being said, yes, it IS a very sano, clean conversion with the highest degree of workmanship/attention to detail in it's execution.
I also don't feel too bad since some of the opposite conversions are starting to appear; your beloved Poopras with domestic 'hearts' (powertrains).

I dont think I said anything about the "almighty" GTE... Also fan boyz? Arnt domestic guys just as much fan boyz of V8s as Import guys are of 2JZ and Rb26 motors? So your a fanboy too...
I was simply stating to the first two posters that they needed to check the "hate" at the door. Hater....

Not a fan of the exhaust tips other wise its a great looking car but the sound does leave something to be desired, a little more depth and growl.

You couldn't go wrong with either one of them in the performance category...saying that one is better than the other is just like saying a Camaro is better than a Chevelle.

Very blind statement you just made there. It's damn near impossible to say one is better...they're both good motors. The 2JZ has a damn strong bottom end...but it has it's limits. I would pick a LSX based motor over a 2JZ anyday because of weight, more power can be made, and you can build a LS1 for a hell of a lot cheaper.

But of course this is a cardinal sin to all of the gen ricers out there pimping for Japan over their own country's products where and whenever they can.
