How about this?

Im going to buy a 3rd gen.
Will a 454 small block mo-town engine fit in there with a 2 or 3 inch coul/ram air hood?
Where can I get fiberglass body parts for a 3rd gen? (front fenders)
Whats the biggest tires you can fit in the rear?
How much does a stock 3rd gen weigh?
Where can I get the square spolier found on the 92 camaro?
How much is a 6 speed conversion?

1- Yes, do a search there's a pretty good thread about BBC conversions.
2- Sorry, I don't know
3- Once, again ?
4- I've seen people claim 3100-3600
5- Junkyard, Parts Wanted section, etc
6- Mine only cost me $1200 but most go around 2k

what i meant was, coming from the factory there is no 454 sbc. i think its kind of rediculous but its your car man...i guess i see where you are coming from...go for it, it'll be unique

but why not go for the 434 or 427?? that'll be a little more efficient.

NO ONE WILL HAVE ONE.
The ultomate sleeper put some 350 valve covers on there no one will suspect a thing . Till they are paying up/singing a pink slip.
Mustangs are the car of choice around here. And no one wants to mess with the ls1 cars. All the 3rd gens around here are rusted/warn out/junkers/v6'es. So something like this will be a total suprize.

How do you think bogart drag rims would look on a 3rd gen?
I want it to be black with red stripes . With the 92 wing how would that look?
