I bought a 78 Z/28 that is missing eng/trans to use as a test bed for this swap. I put a 6.5 block with pan, heads, driverside exhaust into the car and the oil pan clears without issue! Next I'll lift the engine up and put on the turbo side manifold. The engine is out of a 95 burb so it has the side/middle mount turbo. When I get a chance to put the car in the shop, I am going to put the 6.5 with the banks turbo setup into it. That is the engine I hope to put into my driving camaro. It has the side/forward mount turbo that shouldn't interfer with the A/C like the 95 turbo setup does. Hopefully the turbo on the banks will clear the upper control arm of the car.
Engine block fits and Oil Pan clears!
Will the turbo setup clear?
Just got to get some other projects cleared out of the shop so I can findout!

I found it on craigslist. You interested in it? I traded it to a buddy after the engine wouldn't fit. 
So far he hasn't done much with it. They are on the craigslist up here regularly
