78' Engine

Anyone know where I can find a working motor to drop into a 78' Camaro Type LT? Dunno if the type matters or not, just thought maybe there was some correlation between type and size of the engine bay or something...
Like I way saying, I need a decently priced motor (anything that makes it go zoom) and also, possibly, a place to get a good tranny from... i'm trying to budget this at around 6-7 large so bear with me fellas!

I'm located in Los Angeles, California if that helps. Thanks a lot guys.

I'm guessing that you have emissions to meet.

Maybe this (http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/ChevySmallBlockV8s/gen350.html) crate engine from GM would do? The 'performance' version makes 285hp, which would put your camaro in the 14's.

Here (http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/Crate_Engines/performance.html) are some more GM crate engines, but they are 'off-road' only.

With that car you can fit any size engine. Want 572 cubic inches? While it won't fit your budget, it'll easily fit in the engine bay :)
