LS1 swap guide to 2 gen Camaro. I have 1978 Camaro and Ls1 + T56 from 1998 Camaro.
What is wisest way of making this swap today. Motor mounts, oilpan, headers? I havent test fitted engine yet, but seems that with f-body oilpan, engine will be sitting rather high. H3 or CTS-v oilpan? Im from finland so these parts aren´t very easy to find atleast from here.

BRPhotrods for the engine/trans mount and maybe the headers.
www.Speartech.com for modifing the stock computer and harness.
I've been wanting to do this too. but LS2/4L60E in my 70 Camaro. Too bad I didn't find this forum until after I bought a 454. My W/U (wife unit) said not until I sell the 454. LOL
Anyways. good luck with your conversion.

I´m going for programmable ecu and selfmade wiring loom.
Are those BRP engine mounts meant to used with cts-v? oilpan. And are there any cheaper headers than those, this is going to bee trackcar (or driftcar if presice) and it doesn´t need to be shiney.

Edelbock headers with edelbock plates using stock f body pan.Motor sits back and low, great price on headers. H2 pan hangs below cross member, not a good choice. Resold my sorry PRB stuff to some poor sucker on e bay,I still feel guilty
for doing it, but at least he only paid 1/2 price for this junk, Phil should feel guilty.

The BRP kit for the 2F uses the CTS-V or the recomended F-Pan. With the car acc and a top mount Kwik Kit which we now have in stock. We also carry new and used F-Pans and new CTS-V pans in stock
Also the new 2f kit uses the OEM mounting holes on the frame
