    I'm picking up a (nother) motor for the Camaro in a few weeks. What do I need to change over for it to work?

    I already know i have to change the upper intake and rails. What about the exhaust manifolds? Also, I believe the power steering and the a/c compressor are on opposite sides. Can they just be swapped over?

    yeah exhaust manifolds, the block should be tapped for the different mounting locations.

    use the f body lim. Pretty much just use the long block and swap everything else.

    Pretty sure the oil filter after will work cuz I remember someone talking about using one their Camaro to make oil changes easier on fullthrottlev6.com

    Since Im going to have to change the Lower intake gasket which do you guys recommend I'd probably only put 25,000 miles or less on it till I turbo it (hopefully lol) so I wouldn't mind getting the cheaper lesser quality one since I wont run it that long

    well im just saying why buy the expensive one when its just gonna be ripped off in 25K or less? I'm not gonna get anything out of buying the better one so it would be more or less wasting my money.
