The question on whether or not an lt1 will fit in a v6 camaro has been asked something like 4 times in the last month alone. take some time and search the forums instead of posting up repeated questions. Not trying to flame you or nothin, but I'm sure this is what most other members will say. Just search, shouldn't take long.

um, a 91 G20 van would not have an LT1. the LT1 was NEVER in a truck. for the record. the LT1 is not a truck engine. he has a standard small block style engine. and yes, with the propor change of engine mounts, intake, wiring harness, computer, sensors, and such pretty much everything under the hood. get as much as you can from a wrecked doner V8 equipped camaro. but the trans, driveshaft, and rear end of v6 and v8 camaros are the same. sept the v6 camaros have deeper gears from the factory, which is great for performance.

well it depends on what year camaro you are putting it into. i dont know about the 3rd gen camaros but i know that the 4th gen v-6's had different trans-mounts and engine crossmembers. also the driveshaft in the sixers was a two piece design, but again i dont know about the 3rd gens...
