68 a-body ls swap going smooth
Well i am always up on the forum and guys are asking what works and what doesnt...so here is a quick list of part I have used with not having to hack stuff up....
Engine and drive train: 6.0 with 4l80e going carb so i have an (MSD LS2 controller and TCI standalone trans controller these havent go in yet)
Conversion parts:
Gforce 4l80e crossmember: part went in in OEM location just had to make bolt holes alittle bigger
Engine mounts:
Used Hooker Header OEM location engine side mounts
Frame mount and motor mount OEM..let me get exact part # when i get home
Exhaust:
Hooker Header LS A-body conversion headers...these were installed after the engine was in...passenger went in from the top driver side from bottom up..just remove plug wires nothing(duh)
Oil pan:
Autokraft oil pan....i had to remove it to install engine since I was dropping trans and engine bolted together....you can keep it on if you sepeperate the two.....this pan lets the steering go lock to lock without having to notch pan or anything else
