i saw a sweet 2nd gen camaro in super chevy this month and for some reason they just touch on the car but talk nothing about actually swapping one. i have a 1980 camaro that i would love to do this to. anyone with a ls 2nd gen please feel free to post up on what i need to do.
thanks

Search the forum, there are several second gens that are now sporting LS/LQ motors.

ya, there are acouple 2nd gens on here. I am just starting mine on my 79 Z. So far all I have is a stock LQ4. The shopping list is huge. Right now I am concentrating on finding a decent T56.

If you have questions ask away. Pm me and I can answer pretty much anything you need to know. I am currently doing ac in the car and am using the hot rod air universal kit. If you guys need anything let me know, Josh

i have worked with al the ls engines when i worked for gm. maybe between you guys and soem guys at nastyz28.com we could compile a sticky for a swap. my biggest concern is i dont want a t56 i want to keep my m-21.
im sure ill need to either custom an oil pan and a few things. no a/c here either.

no need for a custom pan, if you use brp mounts. i loved my muncie in the day too, but i cant think of a way thats its better than a six speed.

The car you are talking about in super chevy is mine if u look up 79camarols1 in hear u can find some things i have posted or go to cardomain.com look up car 230958. i did not modify the pan i used tranz dap motor mounts and the stock tranz mount. the headers are pace setter just cut and notched the collector.

I'll be needing some advice soon too.

Currently my engine (2003 6.0L) is in the machine shop, getting cleaned up. When it returns, it will get carb'd and I am going to drop it in my '73 Camaro.

dude i would love to see the car in person someday if you dont mine. i have so many thoughts for my car but as of now im grounded with a cracked main brake line and year one sent me the wrong part.

I think Jones is thinking of Car Craft

My bad. I didn't see the post stating that it was THIS month's SC. The one we did was about 4-5 issues back.

are all 98-02 pace setter headers the same? LT's right? Do you have a part #?

The set i used are from summit psm-70-2256 they don't have A.I.R or EGR.
They have MT's and LT's.
