new engine

[camaro408]

i plan on putting together a new engine for my camaro, and my friend was tellin me about the 408 small block and how you can get alot of horsepower out of that block. however i don't know where to get one that is meant to fit in the 98- 02 camaro, or which company is the best to buy parts from, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

408 small block on a 4th gen f-body?

You can do anything but youd be better of with an LS1... its one of the best engines GM has ever came out with. Also you can get a stroker kit (383, 427 etc...) That will be a badass combo but expect to throw down some serious $$$

so you think that if i totally did out the Ls1 it would be better than a totally done out 408 small block with carburator

Also my friend was asking me if the 93-97 camaros have the same frame and all (just different body parts) as the 98- 02 camaros, but i wasn't fully sure.......also which body parts are different

i dont think it will passemssions with a carb.
cause when they took the car up the emssionmachine tells the guy what it should be runing at

i'm not to worried about that, but what do you think is the max horsepower that you can posibly get out of the ls1 block with a supercharger
