LOL, Go to a car lot and find a V-8 Camaro pop the hood. Now look at all the brackets, mounts. Everything that bolts onto the motor and the exhaust system. Those are all the parts you will have to make. Not buy, make cause they do not exist. You might as well try to put a ford 429 in there, it would be the same amount of work. The cost would be 10 times what the car would be worth when you where done. To even convert the car over to the V-8 that came in it that year you would need a doner car.

Go find a 3rd gen body then all you will need to do is make motor mounts and the exhaust system. These news cars everything is shoe horned in. Even the 3rd get can me tight with space around the tranny.
