I bought mine on rockauto.com... cheap enough that it made sense to skip the salvage yard.

When you ride in the Power Tour are you not allowed to pass on the track? I just watched bonecrushers vid and it seemed sort of like cruising rather getting on the track and letting go. Hey congrats on the publicity in the Tour! Thats awesome to have your car front and centered like that. I know your proud of all the hard work you put in to her, Great job!

I see that you used the S&P mounts, did you have any clearance issues? I am about to start the same conversion and am trying to decide what engine and trans mount to use. They have about 4-5 different ones out there, just trying to see what ones fit better. I do plan on putting the a/c in the stock location (lower pass. side) and notching the frame if that matters. Thanks in advance!

no clearance issues, the motor mount holes were tight to align, but once installed it was money..
Great thanks!, did you use standard location or 1" back? Sorry to be a pain in the rear.

The bigger question is, do you plan on going over 750 RWHP? if not, either will work for you.

request for copy of spreadsheet outlining '67 Camaro LS conversion parts Your LS conversion looks very clean. Beautiful car!
I read in your thread that you may have a spreadsheet listing parts required to do the basic LS engine conversion. Would I be able to get a copy of the spreadsheet? I have a '67 and am in the planning stages of converting to LS power (LS engine only, no supercharger). Presently it has a painfully slow 230cid + pwrglide begging to be changed out.
Best regards,
Ron
