NEW PLEASE HELP! much appreciated
Hello fellow camaro men and gals. Okay here i am new to this site. I am from thirdgen.org. i came over here to see what you have. I been with thirdgen.org for quite some time since i own a 1986 camaro with 305 700r4 stock rear end. My problem is since i dont' see you're tech guide on here. My girlfriend has a 1995 camaro 3.4 v6. it thrown a rod. Car is in great condition so i hate to see this poor girl in the junk. My girlfriend gave me permission to put an engine in her. Now. here it is..... I have a 1991 formula firebird that i been parting out for my camaro. which the manual transmission i will be swapping out to put in my camaro that is auto. but later on to what i am trying to say. the 1991 firebird has a 305 vortec head v 8. I am wanting to put that in the camaro the problem i might see is the vats system. minus wrong transmission bellhousing. which i already know so no telling it won't fit b/c of the bellhousing on transmission ect.... I need to know that the vats in the camaro 95 will still work when i pull out the ecm out of the 91 firebird and put it in the 1995 camaro. or do i have to replace the ignition cylinder and along with the swap to make sure the car will start? the 1991 firebird is a TPI as the camaro tpi. i knwo i need to swap ecms to. if i want to keep it tpi and not go to carb. I hope someone can help me on this. b/c i really don't want to find out down the road after i put it all together. besides :X i used the steering column out of the 91 firebird to put in my 86 camaro which mind u is carb. so the vats isn't hooked up. But i am hoping i do not need to replace the cylinder key for the swap. Hope you understand i am little tired and trying to write this and make sense out of it. Any info much appreciated.

Well i would. but my girlfriend doesn't want it carb she hates that my camaro is carb with manual choke. she wants it fuel inject TPI. which i have the firebird as. so is it possible to use the firebird as a donor car even if its a older model by 4 years.???? and if so is the ecm wiring harness all i have to change or a complete harness change over? also reason i am doing the firebird is b/c i have all the parts on there i need to do a swap.
