your gonna have your work cut out for you..its not a drop in situation here.
you will have to address the motor mount situation. i would just go with a front motor plate and by pass this altogether,,,another problem with these cars is the clearance in the sub-frame cradle area...Causing header and oil pan clearance problems....while you have the small block or engine you now have in the car, you can address this situation in 1 of 2 ways..you can go back with tublar sub-frame or you can have the cradle cut and box plated to give you the extra clearance you will need.
IF YOU ARE NOT handy with a Plasma cutter with Good welding skills, you may run into a cost effective decision...#1- hire someone to cut /box/plate the cradle, with front motor plate #2 buy the factory bolt in tublar kit.

the tub kit would also saye you some serious weight...


unless someone has taken a 1983 camaro and placed a bIG block in it ..you are most likley gonna have to trial and error this one on your own.

by the way they do make a hooker header for this year body style car, small and big block.

Good luck.
