On my drive home after picking it up the engine it fell sideways in the bed of the truck as I was on the highway but I just sent it home.

I’m all for the swap I just wanna say that it’s common and completely normal for one side of the engine to be dirtier than the other under the valve covers due to the pcv system. But if that’s what kickstarted the swap then I’m all for it!

That just goes to tell you how experienced I am in this field. After some test it turns out that just the rings went bad in cylinder 1 but the cylinder wall was still in great shape. It was just enough of an excuse to tell myself that a swap would be the best decision!

Kinda dumb question, I have a v6 2018 camaro will the chassis fit a ZL1 engine or is there difference between ZL1 chassis and the v6 of the same year.
@connormckenzie5648
Ай бұрын
I am not positive but I believe the chassis is the exact same. I believe ZL1s have coolant lines running to the diff and the diff on a zl1 is bigger and doesnt fit quite right.

Horrible English. But technically you just need the engine, ECU, trans, driveshaft and differential. But if you change the trans from auto to manual you need a BCM, clutch, and dash harness

Depending on which engine you get will determine what else you need. For example I bought an engine from a 2013 camaro so I had to buy a power steering pump and a new 2011 engine wire harness. Since I was converting to manual I also had to get a new BCM, clutch pedal and dash harness.
