86 Regal 455 Swap (from Camaro)

[twilson4]

Hey guys, I am about so swap a 455 into my regal that was jsut pulled out of a '68 Camaro. Any ideas if the headers and motor mounts from the Camaro would fit? Thanks

Im going to go out on a limb here and assume the 455 from the camaro was a custom install job so headers, mounts etc,,, cant be garunteed to fit in a Regal.
I would guess no on the motor mounts and maybe on the headers.

Not exactly. However, even though these cars are two completely different units you might not be as bad off as you think. The early Camaro was a rear steer car and the Regal is a front steer. Taking that into consideration the headers will probably fit without any problems. They wouldn't work if it were the other way around. I don't know of anyone who makes a motor mount kit specifically to put a BBB into a 1st Generation Camaro so whatever was used to install it into the Camaro is anyone's guess. With that in mind, I don't think anyone will be able to tell if they will work or not.
