Hey guys I am wanting to swap a different engine into my 69 camaro kit so what do i need to do for a engine swap.

Almost exactly what you'd have to do for a real one.

Different or modified engine and trans mounts; check for exhaust clearance and buy or build headers; check for firewall clearance and modify as necessary; check for the location of the water hoses on the kit radiator and modify as necessary; shorten or lengthen the driveshaft as necessary. If your new engine will run a blower or a tunnel-ram style induction, you may have to modify the hood to clear it. If you swap in a large, wide engine like a Mopar Hemi, you may have to modify the inner fenders for clearance.

Etc.
