What do I need to do

[JerseeJerry55]

Hello all. Question for the builders. How easy is it to put a 454 from the AMT 1970 Chevelle SS into the AMT/ERTL 1970 Z28 which has a 350? Do I need to play plastic surgeon. I think since the 1970 Baldwin Motion Camaro has a 454 is the engine bay pretty identical?

Mock up the main engine parts, (glue it together temporarily with a glue that will let you easily disassemble it) and then see how it fits.

Some times you just gotta jump in.

Yes. The engine bays are identical. You'll have no problem stuffing a big block in there.

[LL3 Model Worx]

Yup, you'll have no problem at all.

[Fat Brian]

You can buy the 454 from the Baldwin Motion kit on ebay.

Other than maybe a little reshaping of the motor mounts there shouldn't be any problems. The exhaust manifolds or headers may take a little tweaking just like on a 1:1 car.
