Sweet....We're going to run a cog setup with PS, crank, Alternator and waterpump...AC and smog is going out the window...I'm anticipating the headers but I'm going to try to research them to see if someone has put a package together for this setup... We're going with a 9.0:1 cr so that he can put a 6-71 on down the road...Thanks for your help...

Moroso 62610 Motor Mount Pads, Moroso 62510 Motor Mounts. The Hooker #2226 are kinda small for a "big" big block, 1-7/8 tubes with a 3" collector, probably fine for a 396. They're fairly cheap and they fit, I had a set on my 86 several engines ago. Ed Quay sells big tube BB headers for 82-92's, but they'll cost about twice as much as the Hookers. Lot's of oil pans will fit.

Over all a 82-92 Camaro BBC swap is probably one of the easiest of any car that never came from the factory with a BB.
