'65 Chevelles I too am installing an LS-1 in a '65 Chevelle. I've read the Hot Rod articles several times but the oil pan mods are very generic. My second concern is the exhaust manifolds. Seems like many companies are making headers for 1st gen Camaros and tri-5 chevy but nothing else. Third concern is I have a MM6 and not sure how much clearance I will have on the firewall with the power booster/master cylinder. The car had manual drum brakes so I got to figure what all will fit together. Anyone have suggestions?

I'm trying to remember what they used for accessory brackets in theirs. Can you tell me??
did you have to chop up your oil pan like that?...how hard is it to mount the t56 pedals etc up?...
