Yes. I think I have only heard of a few to actually do this. Most that ask about it are teens that their parents bought the car, and think it will be easy to swap engines...

well i traded a dodge pickup for this car, the body is great, interior is flawless, exept the classic cracked dash...
but its just not strong enough... i got it from a 16 year old kid, so i kind of expected it to be a little rough, but its not at all...
i had a 97 z28 for a couple of weeks, and really enjoyed it, so im kinda tryin to get that back.
i tried for a while to trade my truck or my SVT focus off for a F body, but to no avail...lol

no you cant use your trans, and 69 bignics prices are not out of line. if you can find a LT1 under 1k its junk. if you need help with a swap let me know, ive done it.

You dont need a new rear end or new tranny. The 4L60E was used in both v6 cars and v8 cars, the bellhousing will be a bit different, and I think you'll need a new torque converter, but seeing how you stated you wanted it to be a 6 speed Im guessing you already know you need a new tranny.
Guys, honestly I think we need to be a little nicer to people wanting to swap. Ive seen alot of wrecked z-28s and trans ams in my area and an LT1 with a full wiring harness can be had for about 750$. Its a more viable option to some, and it certain instances can be cheaper if you can find a wrecked donor car.
Im just sayin....
