No, he wants to replace it with a LT1. The motor mounts will line up, no problems there. What kind of tranny? The 700R4 and the 4L60E are identical when it comes to mounting. You just need the Computer and the Wiring. The LT1 Radiator is slightly different, you should be able to fit one in that Camaro.

You can always run a carb on the LT1 and an old school style distributor

Yup, summit sells the intake for it. That will get rid of the hassle of the Fuel Injection, and the Optispark.
