Search in the GenIV engine section. My guess is that blower would present challenges. There are guys running Maggies on their 4th gens, but they cut the cowl, removed their wiper motors, shortened the engine mounts, or all three to do it.

Launching!
If it wasnt for my LTx i would go with an LSA in my 94 Camaro. i wonder what the clearance would be under the hood know that the LSA SC is taller then the LS9's. I saw a LS9 4th gen go here: http://www.lsxtv.com/features/car-fe...th-gen-camaro/
Even better then a LSA!!

thx for the link,
it shouldnt be much different than the ls9.
the lsa it rather inexpensive at about 9k and some as 8k for a crate. I'm sure some trimming would be apparent, since thats what they did to that fbody for a ls9.
Imagine if it was cammed omg lol
meth kit!
omg im hating hard

Bringing this thread WAAAAY back from the dead.
I was reading up on what GM Performance Magazine did to install a LS9 into the F-Body and basically it "looked" as though they needed 2" of clearance. Would the same apply for an LSA? Would it need more or less?
Also what about the Throttle Body, it looks like its Drive by wire where as our F-Body's are Drive By Cable, how would we figure that out?
