* Engine Bay Space: While a 350 is physically smaller than some large-block Chevys, it's still considerably larger than the 3.4L V6. You'll likely need to modify or fabricate many components, including:
* Motor Mounts: Completely new motor mounts will be necessary.
* Firewall: Potentially needs modification or even replacement to accommodate the larger engine.
* Steering Shaft: May need to be altered or rerouted.
* Exhaust System: A completely new exhaust system will be required.
* Transmission: The 3.4L's transmission won't work with the 350. You'll need a compatible transmission (like a TH350, TH700R4, or a T56 manual), which necessitates a new driveshaft and potentially other drivetrain modifications. This is a major expense.
* Wiring Harness: The existing wiring harness is not compatible. A new harness will be needed or significant rewiring will be necessary.
* Cooling System: The existing cooling system likely won't be sufficient for the much larger and more powerful 350. An upgrade will be needed.
* Brakes: Consider upgrading the brakes to handle the increased power.
* Cost: The cost of parts, labor (unless you're doing all the work yourself), and potential unforeseen issues will be substantial.
* Complexity: This is a very advanced automotive project. Unless you have significant mechanical experience, it's best to leave it to professionals.
In short, it's *possible*, but it's a very complex, expensive, and time-consuming project that requires considerable skill and resources. Consider the total cost and complexity carefully before starting. You might find it more practical and cost-effective to sell your Camaro and buy one already equipped with a V8.
