I was wondering if those crate motors like the 509 big block merlin or zz502 or z454 will fit in a 94 camaro z28. I wanted to put a big block or a really nice crate motor in my car next summer. I wanted to know if it will fit or is there major modifcations to make for room. Anybody put a crate motor in there 93-97 camaro/firebird????

 

Yep, been done. Follow this link.

It's a tight fit. The air cleaner is going to get into the cowl area but you can see all that in the pics. The large small-block crate engines (427+) will fit just the same, minus a bit of weight.

will it fit? Yes.

will it be easy? No.

How much will it cost? A lot!

It had gotten alot easier now that BMR has the K-frame with the big block mounts, but its a little more than buying a crate engine, swaping the k member and dropping it in. There have been many posts about this in advanced tech, I suggest you do a search.

 

Yep yep.. the website I linked is pretty detailed on the swap. I second the search through advanced tech.... good info there as well.
