I bought the seat mounts, but it was a waste of money. They are basically universal instead of vehicle specific. Im up in Marysville/ Lake stevens area, Glad to see there is somebody close thats doing the same swap. Where are you in your swap?

i did a simular seat in my gto. i took two long pieces of angle iron and made brackets. recaro and stuff have bolt in brackets but the tracks are wider than my summit seat is.

I got my wheels.....

















MickT/AWS-6 - I used the stock chevelle clutch pedals for my swap, I tried to use the newer f-body clutch setup out of a 2001, but it looked way to complicated. All I did was adapt the slave cylinder to the chevelle clutch pedal and fab up a stop to keep from bottoming it out. I also am going to use the stock shifter out of the 01 f-body too. I cant drive it yet to see if there are any complaints, but if so, I will post up. Good luck! Let me know if you got anymore questions.

Glad to hear its running. This was one of the builds that helped me start mine. Love the car and the all the detail you covered. 2 questions:did you use the stock Denso 02's (upstream)?, and where did the ECM get mounted?

Thanks man. Hope to see/hear a video sometime!

Awesome project! LSx '71 chevelle is on my bucket list, I love to see these swap threads. Is that original paint? Looks mint in the pics.

like the color! have a question on the firewall. when you cut off the seam at the top did you cut it even or leave a little to "pean" over. Also did you use the truck comp? thanks

LS Chevelle

So the F-body oil pan fit with no mods other than raising the perches 3/8"?? Thats cool! How tall are the mounts themselves?? What adapter plates are you using between the block & motor mount?? Hooker stock location?? What headers did you use??
Awesome looking car!
Thanks for all the info & pics!
