its possible with enuff time and money anythings possible, your better off just getting a junked camaro and swapping what you need, its the small things that make it expensive.

btw... are 3.1 camaros FWD? I've never heard of a RWD 3.1

As far as I know Camaros have never been RWD, and I hope they never are. The 3.1 was just a V6 but it should still have been RWD.

What is all this FWD, RWD talk about? Is that Four Wheel Drive?
In the mid 80's Chevy was going to build a 4rth gen FWD but the public said no and Chevy listened. There is though a test mule of an All Wheel steering Camaro. I wonder what doing a donut in that would feel like.

It probably makes the driver dizzy, and will have to do donuts in the opposite direction to unscramble the brain.

There is no such thing as a Front Wheel Drive (FWD) Camaro. The 3.1 was the replacement for the 2.8 in the late 80's, early 90's.
