What oil pan did you use? motor mounts? any other fitment issues? I have an LS6 I want to put in my 67 Nova post , I am going to use the Edlebrock? Msd Carb setup
any suggestions?

Thanks for the info on the exhaust manis guys. I'll file it in my mental rolodex for a future project to expand my fab skills on another LSX swap.

we used a gto pan but we are worried about it starving for oil once it starts launching hard. just weled up our own solid mounts.

we should have the car done well before the tracks open in the spring. maybe some dyno trips before that.

did you get that prefilter on there?

we have never hooked on the street but it still pulls pretty hard spining the wheels if you modulate it a little so they are not spining 100mph.

is that the pass side or drivers side

Can you build me a set like that...you should be a pro by now,about 1 hrs time...
