Motor swap?

hey all!



i've gotta 2002 camaro, currently with an l36. i'd like to swap in an l67, but am having a lot of trouble finding info regarding this. it just doesn't seem like anyone else has done it yet. information is very limited, but i'm hoping to change that. here's what i know so far...if you have any suggestions/comments, or disagree with something, please say so:)



1) l36 %26amp; l67 blocks are essentially the same...the same engine mounts can be used, and the engine can bolt up to my bellhousing.



2) hood clearance for the SC isn't an issue with 98+ camaros.



3) some components (ie power steering pump) are in different locations, but that shouldn't be a problem





the only two issues i've got left are:



1) will i have to move the firewall to allow space for the intake???? if so, how much? i don't have any problems with moving the firewall, it's just a %26quot;do i have to?%26quot; question.



2) the computer. i'll need to use the l67 computer obviously, but i doubt that computer will be compatible withMotor swap?
Easy way would be to hunt around the damaged vehicle auctions for a write off, then swap all the %26quot;goodies%26quot; over. In all honesty it'd probably end up costing you the same in the long term. But as the 02 on Camaro is more or less the same as the Commodores and Monaros (read ponty gto) that we have here in Aus. Just go and bolt the damn thing in with its %26quot;brain%26quot;. Turn the key and enjoy.
