Default 1974 ss nova lm7 swap PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have LM7 5.3L I want to put in my nova. My nova is a stock 74 with the stock 4 speed manual trans. How do I hook the LM motor up to the 4 speed trans? (bell housing, fly wheel, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing,)?

I've heard nothing but good things about PSI for wiring jobs. Check out quicktime or trans dapt to see if there is an adapter for your trans. Go down to the Chevy dealer and get a C5 vett fuel regulator. You'll get 58psi and a built in return so you wont have to run 2 lines from the engine bay.

As stated above the c5 vette fuel filter is the way to go. Just grab one for a 01 vette from the parts house. There are tons of vendors on here, unfortunately some dont carry a big presence in this section. We dont carry any of the mounts or adapters but if you need help with wiring just give me a message and Ill help ya out, even if you were to want a DIY kit. Im online almost all the time.

Dirty dingo probably makes several different mount options for you.
