* Engine Mounts: The V6 and V8 engines have different mounting points. You'll need engine mounts specifically designed for a small-block V8 in your Camaro's year and model. These are often custom-made or aftermarket parts.
* Transmission: The V6 likely came with a different transmission than the 350 typically uses. You'll need a compatible transmission (likely a TH350, 700R4, or a more modern automatic, or a manual transmission with the appropriate bellhousing) and associated driveshaft modifications.
* Wiring Harness: The V6's wiring harness won't be compatible with the 350. You'll need to either adapt the existing harness (difficult and often unreliable), use a harness designed for the specific 350 you're installing, or wire it yourself (requiring significant electrical knowledge).
* Exhaust System: The V6 exhaust system won't fit the V8. A new exhaust system will be required.
* Cooling System: A V8 generates significantly more heat than a V6. You might need a larger radiator, electric fan, or other cooling system upgrades.
* Computer/ECU: The engine management system will need to be compatible with your engine. This might involve using a standalone engine management system or adapting the factory system (again, complex).
* Brakes: The increased power of the V8 might require upgraded brakes for safer stopping.
In short, while possible, swapping a 350 into a V6 Camaro is a substantial project requiring mechanical expertise, specialized tools, and a considerable budget. It's not a weekend job; it's more likely a multi-week or even multi-month project depending on your skill level.
