Every project is alittle different, but you are in luck, second gens have been done. While ours was a first gen, a lot of what you will need can be found in our spreadsheet ( http://hosted.filefront.com/67rsss ). Also, do a search for some of the second gen swaps to get a feel for what is involved with you subframe. You will be very happy when you get this running.

Send an email to me at jeff_dauderman@yahoo.com. I can show you what I did to install a LQ9 in my 1978 trans am. I have some drawings for the motor mounts and a list of parts that I used. I also have an extra set of headers for this swap if you are interested.
