camaro motor swap??

Can anyonw tell me if I would be able to swap out a 327 in a 1968 camaro and put in a Olds 350 from a 69 cutlass. An odd request but I cant find anyone who would know. any direction would be most helpful before I sink in to much money in the project.
Thanks.

For starters the engine mounts will have to be changed and the transmission will not bolt up either, so you'll need either a new trans or an adaptor plate.

I figured there would be a little frankinstining that had to be done, I was just courious if it was something that could be done with out completely chopping up the engine compartment. Thanks for the insite, do you think it would be viable?

Not really. SBC parts are plentiful and inexpensive, Olds parts on the other hand are harder to get and cost considerably more (we're talking aftermarket performance parts here)
