New to the bowtie.
Ok, I started on the gminsider forum and a couple of guys point me over here for questions. I have a 1997 Camaro convertible with a blown v-6. A friend of my so happens to have a 5.3l vortec v-8. I have always been a mopar guy but The price for the camaro was really, really good. I know I am going to need to source a wiring harness and an ECU and the like, but I want to know structurally what will need to be done to the engine bay? I am keeping it a cruiser with A/C and keep the automatic tranny (as much as I want a manual, it just isn't in the cards right now.) My main question is, can it be done without a doctorate in engineering and has anyone done this swap before?
