Shawn,
Not sure you remember me but I was one of the first people to buy a complete 2nd gen swap kit from you when you worked at BRP...we talked quite a few times over the phone and you wanted me to take pics of the car while it was being swapped. Well, I finally got it to the point where I could drive it, but I can't get it out of the driveway because the BRP stepped headers don't offer enough ground clearance and the LH8 oil pan hangs WAY below the crossmember. My car is considerably lowered.
I am wondering if you guys are planning on offering mid-lengths for the F-body??? Also, what's the lead time on the Oil pan?
Thanks!
Dave

The Nova is Dane's car and we have it awaiting header mock up by one of the local header shops for a prototype header build up.
I called the guys about the caddy swap and can’t get a hold of any one anymore not sure what happen.
the mid lengths for the 2nd gen are the first header that was built and is close to production. The LHX oil pans are ready to ship at any point and have n lead time. The LS1 oil pan also works on the 1970-81 F-Bodys. We are bringing in my 76 Camaro for long tube mock up and to finalize the conversion kit.

where will the Fbody mounts put the engine in relation to a standard SBC? 1" setback? or forward?

Here is the S10 inside the frame header that we are working with Current Performance to develop. The headers here and should go out for production next week.
The ML headers should be back from the manufacturer this week hopefully in a production version.
I have several headers at the manufacture awaiting a Jig and production testing. Unfortunately I’m on their clock on these at this point.
I’m going into minor production at the shop until my mass produced parts are ready. I plan to offer a couple versions of each conversion kit for all budgets.
Also I might need some help getting some random photos for my LS swap book so keep an eye out for that thread this week if you have a ton of build up photos.
The RX7 and damn near anything with 4 wheels is on our list it just takes time to make and test a kit for all cars.
We even had a 80 BMW convertible dropped off for a full conversion at the install center!
We also just pulled in a 62-67 Nova for header and kit mock up and its on the lift this week for testing. It’s just a slow process to get rolling. Please be paint and I should be back to normal on the forums now that the book is done outside of finding pics.

RetroLSX, I'm looking for a conversion kit (motor mounts, transmission crossmember, oil pan) for my 1979 monte carlo. It'll get a 1998 LS1 with a T56. Please let me know! Thanks!

Got any kit plans as far as that '62... Me and my dad are putting a Carbed LS2 with LS3 heads and 5-speed (maybe T-56) in our '62 that we have had since '64. We are using the stock frame with a Jim Meyers IFS and we are getting ready to figure out motor mounts and headers.
