im goin for a 67-74

Yes should fit just fine. 67-69s had 396s and 427s, 70-73 had 402s, wich were all big blocks.

It should fit,I seen a 454 BB in a 73 Camaro with a cowl hood. It was driver, so I'm pretty shure it would. And x2 revhead the 68 and 69's could come wuth a 427 stock.

you can put any engine into any car, it's just a question of how much fabrication and money you want to spend. but the 1st and 2nd gen camaros has big blocks

They fit pretty easily into 3rd gens also, not so easily into 4th gens though.

Speakin of 454 3rd gens... I came across one tonight on the local craigslist. I cant decide whether I like it or not thought. I think the BIG scoop is a little overkill myself. 1983 Camaro Z28 454
