hay, this question is asked quite often. to do the switch right u will need to come up with a z28 with a blown motor for cheap. u will need the ecm and engine compartment wireing, dash gages and wireing, engine bay including the front suspension, drive line and i think the rear end. also think the transmissions are different.

The easiest and cheapest way is to jack up the gas cap, and pull a v8 car underneath it.
