Will a 97 Trans Am LT1 engine fit 1998 Camaro?

Yes, a 1997 Trans Am LT1 engine will generally fit into a 1998 Camaro. Both cars used the same generation of F-body chassis, so the engine bay dimensions are very similar. However, there might be some minor differences that require attention:

* Wiring Harness: The wiring harnesses are not exactly the same. You'll likely need to adapt the Trans Am harness to the Camaro's system, or use a Camaro harness. This is often the most challenging part of the swap.

* Computer (PCM): The PCM from the Trans Am might not be compatible with the Camaro's sensors and other components. You might need to use a Camaro PCM or have the Trans Am PCM reprogrammed.

* Accessories: While most accessories (alternator, power steering pump, etc.) are interchangeable, there might be slight variations in mounting brackets or hoses.

* Exhaust System: The exhaust manifolds and possibly the rest of the exhaust system may need modification or replacement to fit the Camaro's chassis.

In short, while the engine itself *will* fit, you'll need to plan for the complexities of the swap, particularly with the wiring and computer systems. It's not a straightforward bolt-in operation. Experience with automotive electrical systems and engine swaps is highly recommended.
