Big Engine Mod

Let's say i can get my hands on a 502 4 bolt main big block, is there enough room to get it in the car

[97cavalier]

what year do you have? and is it a V8 or now?

[Vlodomyr]

Right now I have an 84 Camaro z28 with the 305 v8

the 502 is a bigblock v8

[97cavalier]

ya, i am not sure about the clearence on the motor.

[1*88*riv]

in a previous thread about me swapping in a big block in my 'maro, i was told that a small block and big block has the same bolt pattern for trannies....i dunno

[97cavalier]

ya, i know, i did not know what i was thinking, sorry my fault.

no i'm not trying to say you're wrong...just making sure i was clear on what i understood too

666 you are spontanious and correct good job.
I think it would be a tight fit to get the engine in the car

plus even if it happens that the tranny is different im prolly gonna get a new one cause this one is a piece that was rebuilt , and is starting to give out...
prolly cause i threw it into reverse while doing 40 down the highway...stripped tranny vs an engine sitting in my lap.

yes you can do it, but it's a big job and a lot of money, here's a link to some info that will help...

wait....did someone delete a post? or did i just imagine i saw something about a transmission? gosh....but a big block will fit...from what i can learn about the 4th gens it takes quite some fabricating...but it will fit
