The LT1 was initially used in the 1992 Corvette with some success but the Camaro version was the recipient of a restrictive air cleaner and exhaust so that it did not outperform the Corvette.

Can you put a corvette engine in a camaro. Just make sure you get the complete engine harness computer. Tommy Tommerdal and his dad accomplished one of the holy grails of pro touring First Gen Camaro swaps by swapping in all of the key C5 Z06 Corvette components into their 1967 Camaro. So what does this mean for the Camaros V8 engine.

You can save a few bucks if you find an LS take-out engine from a 19982002 Camaro or Firebird. The iron block LM7 was originally fitted in GM light duty trucks and SUVs but lends itself well to the F-body powerplant. So that means you can put a regular car intake on your LT4 engine.

The 62-liter V8 in the 2020 Corvette Stingray is lower at 490 horses and 465 ft-lb torque and this can be upped with a performance exhaust to 495 and 470 respectively. The first is to allow you to bolt an LT4 blower to a non-LT4 head. Camaro V8 LS3 L99 Engine Exhaust and Bolt-Ons can you put an ls7 intake manifold on an ls3.

Well if both cars offered the same LT2 V8 producing 490 horsepower we arent sure why you wouldnt just get the Corvette. As for the matter of propulsion the 2004 GTO has the 57-liter LS1 V8 the 2005-2006 GTO has the 60-liter LS2 V8 and the G8 GXP and SS pack the mighty 62-liter LS3 V8. It already has 312hp and the V8 in the SS has over 100 more.

The roller rockers are aftermarket not. Other than the 4-bolt mains Corvette and CamaroFirebird LT1s are pretty similar. If you go by manufacturer ratings the Corvette Stingray makes 460 horsepower and the Camaro SS makes 455 horsepower.
