Will this motor "bolt-up"?
I would like to install a 90's Camaro motor in my 1976 Corvette. Is the motor/transmission (as seen in the auction below) a "drop-in" type of transplant or will I have to do many modifications?

Megaladon is doing this, check the archives. Lost of work, tranny tunnel mods, shifter/linkage changes, frame clearance issues for the serpentine setup, computer problems as mentioned, etc etc.
So, it's been done so it's possible, but it's far from easy or cheap.

I was gonna do the same swap, even bought an old ( '95 9C1 )Caprice cop car as a donor but financially it aint gonna happen because of a
