1969 Camaro w LSX Engine

Lh8
Agreed that the LH8 sits pretty low...it sat about 1-1/2" lower then my crossmember. This still might be OK for some applications but my Camaro sits very low in the front.....I just purchased an ARE dry sump pan here on LS1TECH...hopefully this solves my clearance issues

Alston subframe
I can't speak for the Alston subframe but I have a Martz Engineering front end under my 69....very similar in dimensions to the Alston. It is set up with a manual rack and pinion. I have a set of stainless American Racing 1-7/8" "D" port headers and the fit is perfect....tons of room to spare and great ground clearance. In fact, I have to give a shout to the folks at American Racing for the finest headers I have ever seen..the construction has to be seen to be believed. I also did not realize how light SS headers were. They also make 2" headers if you are making gross horsepower or have a stroker LSX...I only have a 500ish HP LS6 so the 1-7/8 inchers are fine...

Alston subframe
Mine is the factory width, not narrowed. I am also running 3-1/2" skinny front wheels. I promise you will not be disappointed with the AR header quality....I wouls still call them for fitment suggestions....they know their stuff concerning applications...they also do custom work.
I am starting to sound like one of their sales reps...
