Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Camaro / June 2004LS1 or LS6 in 68 Camaro
Hey everyone, I'm going to start a project car in the next year and I wanted to know if anyone has any experience putting a recent model LS1 or LS6 crate engine in the body of a 68 camaro? I'm going to put in a different trany and rear-end, so the match up can come later on those components. I wanted to know about any problems using a late model, fuel injected engine in an old body style without having to re-frame the whole front end. I'm totally open to suggestions and direction. Like I said, this is just the planning stage for information gathering. If anyone has any experience putting a supercharger on one of these engines I would like to hear about your experience in that also. I'm looking at something like the MangaChanger www.magnacharger.com (the link is a little flaky at times) Or check out: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/MagnaCharger/ I can take direct emails at manimal2K@hotmail.com or reply to this thread. rh >Hey everyone, I'm going to start a project car in the next year and I >wanted to know if anyone has any experience putting a recent model LS1 [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >rh There was an article in one of the car mags either this month or last. If I come across it, I'll post the parts that were needed. Seems the oil pan needed to be replaced or modified because of the way it fit in the car. The whole car didn't need to be reframed. -- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere? Thanks, If you get the Mags name I will track down the article. I have seen a couple of recent motors in the old camaros on some web sites. There looks to be a lot of info out there for this one. rh > >Hey everyone, I'm going to start a project car in the next year and I > >wanted to know if anyone has any experience putting a recent model LS1 [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > lab~rat >:-) > Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

I read so many of them, but I tend to believe it was Chevy High Performance. -- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere? > >Thanks, If you get the Mags name I will track down the article.
