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.

I have seen it done... im not an expert on it but the hard bolt up portion i
seen , requires a special right motor mount bracket the guy , i seen made
his own but you can buy them the rest of it I dont know about he also was
telling me , it would have been easy to take the cab off instead of all the
hard wiring he did ,
