1980 project
I was given a 1980 stingray. The car has a 1994 LT1 motor in it from a camaro. The motor is bare and has no tranny. I also have a 327 chevy from a 63 impala. I was wondering if either onE of these motors will be compatible and which one will be less hastle.

the 327 would be the simplest. I would not waist any money on that LT-1.

for one the aging electronics and lack of aftermarket support for decent replacement parts makes them questionable at best for reliability. the mechanical side of things they can be very solid but have many design flaws. in its day they where a huge improvement but time marches on and there like the red headed step child of engine choices

too bad.
i guess a good 327 made to copy the 327/350 hp vette engine
then.
