the wiring is the nightmare there. Holy smokes dont do it. You will have huge issues with everything. Ignition, cluster, you name it. Were you thinking about carburated setup or what? Someone has told you some craziness. Get an LT1 they can be had cheaply just look for a buick roadmaster or something like that, look for the dual pipes and you have one. And nobody wants those anymore.be careful of the 5.3 though gm put those in a few and they look the same make sure its the 5.7

so what yr and model of camaro are we talking about and what motor is in the car now? the lt1 is a much better motor to use plus its a better motor. sell the other motor or keep it for another project in the future.

if u look at the blazer motor u will notice a distributor on the back of the motor. u will have to cut a hole in the firewall and maybe the dash of the camaro to alow this to fit. the two motors have many differences. if u wish to do this im sure it can be done as almost anything is posible. it will however decrease the value of your car. no one in there right mind is going to want a frankencar. so i will recomend using the lt1 again. lt1 has aluminum heads, roller cam and lifters so u have a roller motor that pushes 300hp stock. the lt is easier to get extra hp out of, the lt fits in your car,,, lol,. last time... rebuild the lt and forget about trying to put a blazer motor in a camaro.

yeah i'm with these guys above me...not trying to rain on your parade, but building that motor and trying to make it work would just be a bad idea. plus, the LT1 is so cool, lol.
this is why i said you need to do more research before doing anything like this. i've been reading up on builds for over a year now just to learn what is involved and what is best for me so i know what to expect going into something like that.
and you never said what is wrong with the motor in the camaro right now?

the only problem with that is not being able to drive it for a while...

Id like a 355 setup on it and it for it breathe and exhale real nicely with maybe 48lb or 52lb injectors... If I can do away with 42lb that be good I suppose... So based on that what would I need to start with?
If I decide to go supercharger one day Ill have my spare LT1 to build for a later project
all I kow is that I have money to blow and I want a fast Z28 (faster than it is) I can always buy brand name parts but I know some might not work well with eachother and thats one of the hardest parts to figure out
