I have a 67 camaro with a 327 PG , I want to replace with a big block . What all do I need to change, motor mounts, tranny mounts, heater core and box. Is there a kit .

thanks tcuny

No kit is available. Do a search here and you will find tons of info. I would suggest building a 383 small block or a 406 etc. It would be tons cheaper with big-block like power.

Talk with JimM. He recently turned his 327 into a 383 and he loves it.

I would buy a 427 or a 454 small block for it that is if you have an extra 11 grand laying around. As far as a bigblock I have read that before gm put them in some dealers where just droping them in useing all the smallblock mounts.

Id keep the smallblock and forget about the boat anchor.

Your call. But over the years, like many here, I've had both engines. My Camaro has only been a BBC car. Massive components. The engine bay with a small block just isn't as neat as a BB. Sorry guys. Of course weight is a big factor. Only the block is iron. Even the radiator is aluminum and the batteries are in the trunk. I like to go around corners FAST!
Here's a look at the bottom-end.

As for heater core u dont have to do anything to that as long as u use short valve cover.

Here are two past threads with fairly comprehensive lists and discussion.

I went from a 350 to a 396. I did modify the heater core to accomodate which was no easy task but worth the mod.
