LS9 in a 4th-Gen Body 
Yeah... So this exists and it's about as good as you'd hope. It wasn't an easy fit, but they've made it work with some massaging. Derek dives into the details on the blog here.
All of the fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaros were sold long ago - with the exception of (at least) one. General Motors keeps it at home. However, this 1999 Z/28 has to pay a price for the privilege of not being driven by a potentially abusive commuter: being a lab rat for ambitious and power-hungry engineers.
Its original V8 was yanked out and replaced with the LS7 from the C6 Corvette Z06. The exterior was coated in a layer of satin black paint. In 2010, the Z/28 was once again the recipient of an involuntary heart transplant. GM's crew of surgeons installed a GM Performance Parts crate version of the 638-horsepower LS9 V8 from the Corvette ZR-1, then resprayed the Camaro's body in a shade of blue used for the recently departed King of the Hill.
