72 El Camino LS1/4L65E swap
My LS1 is rebuilt with a stock rotating assembly and pistons held together with ARP rod bolts. Im running a .595/.600 lift cam with 218/230 duration and a 115 lobe center. My heads are CNC ported by Advanced Induction. Intake, injectors and throttle body are stock.
I used dirty dingo DD mounts and a Holley 302-2 oil pan.
The headers I'm using are CBR racing headers by Stainless Works, they're actually designed for 62-67 nova LS swap but actually fit. The driver side fit perfect and the passenger side fit by notching the lower control arm mount slightly.
I rebuilt all the suspension with MOOG rubber bushings and ball joints. I'm running 98-02 camaro brakes all around with Kore3 brackets up front.

Sharp car, I see some very similar things that I did to mine. But well done! How did you route the exhaust? I had problems with the back of my 72 being to low to route over the axle. It looks like yours sits about the same height.

I did a 2.5" X-pipe with turn downs before the axle. It was a lot easier especially since I welded it all up myself.
