I Have seen there are a couple of 4th gen camaro owner on this site that have done the big block swap to there car. i have a couple of ? about the parts needed to finnish this project. I have already pick up some of the major part needed.

1. Bmr k member
2. Bmr a Arms
3. chevy 502 out of a warlock boat
4. new Th400 For All about trans in Ventura
5. Big block Headers

1. The tech at Bmr said that hooker big block headers off a 70 to 72 chevelle will work on this swap has any one done or seen it done?

2. Can i still use my stock fuel system on the car with a fuel pressure reguletor.

3. does any one have some pic of the cowl that has been cut and do you have to cut the windshield wipers out.

i hope to have the project started on friday this week and have it done before the next following sunday thats if all my parts work that i have work and i dont run i to many problems. Also does any one have a 94 4 in cowl hood or one that will work with this project if so could u call me at 805 415 9118 or pm me thanks for looking and for the help to come

Are you going carburetor or fuel injection? I have heard about the headers but i think there is some slight modification involved not sure. I am still working out my intake solution on my BBC swap. But i am using a ls1 pcm and going with coil per cylinder

You'll need to modify the headers if you are using the off the shelf hookers.

I can't remember which primary (see the sticky) but one has to be cut and re-welded to clear the steering linkage. Or you can go for a set of Lemons headers which will be aroung $1300.

Good luck with the swap. I think you may have a pretty rough time getting it done in such a short period of time.

If you are running stock heads the 2455's will work just fine except for one of the passenger side primaries. They will come close to hitting down by the LCA so you might have to dent them a little. Yes you can use the stock system but you will have to replace the stock plastic lines with something and get an adjustable regulator so you can turn down the pressure. Cowl depends on the carb you are running, you might have to get rid of the wipers.

Coming along nicely. Is this going to be a strip only car or will it see some street time too?
