Lsx motor mounts will be fine. Id imagine you can swap in a 98+ crossmember to use since they have the mounts already. Tranny mount im not sure if you can use one or have something fabbed up. Someone may sell them.

hey cuda here is a list of things you need.

ls1 k-member
ls engine mounts
ls1 steering rack (for proper fitment)
corvette fuel filter off a 1999 vette (converts your high pressure and return line into just a high pressure which eliminates one of the fuel lines at the engine bay)
engine wiring harness for your motor
computer for your motor
ls1 radiator
all rad and heater hoses
throttle cable from your ls
ls exhaust as the lt1 or v6 won't work
clutch, pressure plate and flywheel

need to use the crossmember for your transmission from your car as there is a different mounting point in newer camaros.


Highly recommended to have
Engine bay harness (different from engine wiring harness)
Dash harness (not necessary but this makes your engine plug and play to all connectors without any modification)
ls1 brakes
ls1 spindles

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but that definitely covers most of it.
Let me know if you have any questions as I've gone through this all before lol.

Gonna run the 6 spd auto trans. Why the Ls spindles and brakes??? Beginning to look like I should put it in an older car.....

Or maybe in a mustang????

ls spindles let you run the dual piston calipers. It's a lot of work dude but it's worth it in my opinion.

If you put it in a mustang I won't be commenting anymore

you don't need the engine bay harness from the 2010, the 94 bay harness is fine. You just need to bring the necessary 12volts and grounds to the 2010 PCM. your guages, I'm not sure how they will work. I believe most of us have done this with 411PCMs, not sure if anyone has done it with the new computers.

the ls1 brake conversion is simple and not complex, you are swapping out the spindles so you can run the bigger ls1 brakes.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I'm gonna bookmark all this to be easy to get at and start shopping for used LS1 chassis parts. Never owned a camaro before,,a couple ov vettes and many hot rods ,GM,Ford and many Mopars in the day. Presently I have a 600 hp LS3, Carbed and MSD switch box thats fun. So guess I'll see how this turns out. My first camaro should be unique...
