big block into 96 camaro
big block I have a friend that has a big block in a 94 camaro. He has a tubular k member and custom headers. It has motor plates to hold the motor in, but I think you can get the k member with the mounts on them. I believe it is an aje k member. Hope this helps, Josh

I drove a big block 1995 Camaro around the block a couple years ago.....it was an evil handling, nose heavy car that might be ok for drag racing only. It was a loaded 502 with a th400 trans and a Curry 9" in the rear. It was nicely done but was just a crappy car with alot of torque.

Heres one of the threads on my project, the other is just a thread on my k-member and motor.

Drive a 427 LS7 
NOT a BBC but I have to tell you...roll through the gears once yanking the shifter at 7,200 in every gear and you might foget about a Heavy BBC
Other then that GM did the first one about 13-14 years ago Very nice and you can buy most of the stuff.
Good luck!

also have you done any research on the bbc swap for a 93-up camaro because 13-14 years ago would have been a hole different body style there bud

MUCH easier to swap in and MUCH easier to drive. Have I done Research? Every day.... Will a Huge CI BBC make more power? Sure CI means every thing. Then Again the Gen III/IV Engine is extremely effecent. I am seeing almost 600RWHP out of LS7 cars N/A modified correctly and they have not peaked yet!Ball you fail math? 93 F-body came out in 92...it IS 2006
The Moss car was Originaly a LT1 car not a LS1 car. Hell it still has the LT1 hood on it!I suppose if you can pick up an old BBC dirt cheap and completely hack up the 4th gen it should be able to get done for say $5k car included

sure you would save alot of weight, figure in the price for the block and see what you come up with, i cant speak to any of the current prices i wanna say the Brodix block was around 5 grand but im not 100% sure.

Now how does the over priced 427 match up?
If you want fuel mileage, buy an import..
Now if you want a straight up bad **** that will be an easy fit, this is bang for the buck. We had intentions on building one of the nastiest nitrous small blocks and got side tracked on a turbo project.
Can ya say 1100 horse small block!!!!

I bet it drove like a kitten on the street to didn't it To bad it only made 1100 on the juice. I can think of a few small blocks LT1s making that kind of power I seem to remember one Maxing a Dyno jet last winter 
No one got owned here that is for sure.
Oh and Check the Sig for the tow rig Only a 355...
Like I said, I am sure a dirt cheap fourth gen big block can be done for under 5K....
Thanks for Bailing Ball out...he needed it
