What is the difference between the Corvette and Camaro LS1.

What would you recommend for my 68 Camaro? LS1, LS2 or other?
What things are important to know for the transplant?
I'll try to answer some questions, not sure on efficiency but larger cubed LS2 should be a little better in the TQ dept. But could use a little more fuel can't be all that much though. Are you planning on leaving the motor stock or changing the cam, heads or anything else?

Corvette and Camaro LS1's have different accessory drives and oil pans from the factory.

The main thing to know to transplant an LS into your car is finding a set of motor mounts, headers, oil pan and stand alone computer/wire harness that all works together in your car. There are now numerous companies making these parts so start researching and see what fits your budget.
