Default Engine Swaps

I currently own a 95 3.4L Camaro and am looking into different engine swap options to draw out huge power. Not looking at selling it and looking for an LT1 car. I was wondering about the possibilities of swapping in a C4 or a C5 engine, has anybody done it? How much and how long did it take. Any other suggestions for drawing out big power please post.

First things first. How much is "big power" and what do you have for experience?

ANything can be done. It all depends on if this is a project or daily driver. There are a few factors aslo. Money, time, availibilty of tools, parts and lots of beer and friends.

if you want a LT1 or LS1 get it from a camaro not a corvette, other wise youre going to make your own wiring. assuming you get a complete pull out. and the accessory brackets are different. so with that said, youre going to need a donor car to complete a v8 swap

first off, a c4 engine is a lt1, so whats the difference in selling it and getting a lt1 car, c5 is the ls1 which would be you best bet for getting better numbers out of mods
