Thread: Olds 455 rocket in a 97 Camaro..

Tweet

Is this going to be a race only car or streetable? reason I ask, I did a small block in my 97 s10 only to have emission laws change later and not be able to get it inspected due to OBD3 plug in requirement where I live. check on that if you want a street car before dropping the cash. good luck

Might fit if you cut out the shock/strut towers and put an axle under it...Might have to cut the dash out to service the distributor.. 4th gen F body is not a good candidate for ANY engine swap... I don't believe I'd want to even put a conventional small block chevy in one of those.

Believe me; you need a LOT of engine compartment space for an Olds 455. As someone said in here already, the distributor location will present some real problems. The engine in the later F-bodys sits way back into the firewall.

Stretch from the firewall forward, stretched cowl hood. It'll fit! Make sure to post pictures!
