396 BB in 84 Camaro?

[Garry]

A friend of mine has an 84 Camaro w/ cracked 305 block. After picking up a 396 BB from a Chevy Nova, we were wondering how much trouble it would be to drop that one in the Camaro? This will be for a track-car only, so legal requirements don't have to be watched ... :D

Help appreciated, -gg

It should be a direct bolt in. IROCSS and I both have Bigger than normal engines. Nates being a 454 and mine being a 455. BBC's use the same motor mounts as SBC and are located in the same spots. Just get a trans that will hold up to the torque.
