Quick question on BBC conversion I have a 94 LT1 camaro.
Was wondering if I absolutely need aftermarket a-arms or can I use stock?
Do I need a new engine cradle?
Also, how difficult is it to remove the motor from the top of the car?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please guys lol. I searched and looked at the stickies. I could not find a straight answer.
I am on the verge of buying a 486 big block, with a th400.
I just need to know what all i need to buy in order to make it work.

you need a new k member and you can use your stock control arms if you so desire. HOWEVER. the k member for bbc makes the engine like in your lap its set so far back...i used motor plates and my bbc fits much much nicer than the ones i see on here using BMR's k member.
All I can say is that mine fits like a glove and all my stock mounting points are retained. Can't get any easier than that.
A-arms don't matter
New cradle is easier than trying to make the stock one work.
You can pull the motor trans out the top together if you pull the manifold/distributor. Short block will pull out just fine but you have to turn it sideways on the way up.
