Hi all, I have a few noob questions on a 6.0 LS swap into a 1st gen f body and I haven't found the exact answers I was looking for.
First, will the truck intake clear the stock hood or should I be looking for an f body intake?
Second, I saw the stock truck pan hangs way low, what stock pan should I use to clear the stock steering, or, am I forced to modify one or buy an aftermarket one?
Third, will the stock truck accesories clear the subframe/steering box/hood?

I think that's it for now but I'm sure I'll have more as I get into it

the ls6 intake is wht u need,
a oil pan specific for 67-69 camaros swap is available, so it should work in your car
might as well go with fbody, gto, or corvette accesories, the accesorie bracket for trucks is huge and bulky

Don't care if it's huge and bulky acces. wise as long as it fits.
Will the truck intake clear the hood though? I know ls6 is best but thinking pure budget at this point. For now will it work until I upgrade?
And do I need the swap pan or is there a stock one that will work?

a chopped and modified ls1 fbody pan will work,
the truck accesory is a large bracket that holds the ps pump and alt.
the truck intake is pretty tall, may not clear the stock hood.
also the truck accesories are spaced further away from the block, the corvette has them tucked in closer to the block. different offset crank pulleys

Truck intake won't fit under the hood unless you have a cowl induction hood.
Truck accessories are to far forward and you won't have room for the Radiator.

Thank you Rob. You know the car so no truck intake for me I guess How's the camaro coming?

Next question, planning on doing a turbo set up also. Most likely twins. Anybody use flipped truck manifolds in a first gen? Or, should I be looking into a set of CTS-V manifolds?
