BRP Conversion Kit Updates
BRP Conversion Kit Updates We've been busy designing the new 62-67 Chevy 2 kit, but we've also been going through and updating our other kits. We recently discovered some fitment issues with our 68-72 A-Body conversion kits, so we brought a few cars into the shop last week and re-designed that kit. Our kit now uses the Cadillac CTS-V oil pan which sits flush with the bottom of the cross-member. The engine & frame mounts bolt in to existing holes in the frame. The cylinder head clears the a/c box by .250" at its closest point and the 2" headers clear the frame with .250" clearance also. The low mount F-Body accessories clear the frame & steering box, but you'll need to modify the a/c lines. One of the cars we used for fitment was a 1970 El Camino, which gave us a chance to re-bend the humps on our cross-member to make sure it clears the floor. We have manufactured 10 kits and they are heading to the coater this week. I apologize for anyone that has had issues with our previous A-Body kits and if you would like to swap the parts out please call or PM me. I do my best to return any missed calls and PMs, please give me enough time to do so.
Another issue we addressed was the headers for the G-Body cars, the driver’s side header interfered with the shifter linkage. We brought a Monte Carlo SS over to Hedman/Husler and they re-designed the driver’s side header to give adequate clearance for the shifter linkage. If anyone is dealing with this problem on their G-Body please call or PM me.

I used John Bs mounts that Put the CTS-V pan about a 1/2 below the crossmember and I have seen a few use your headers for G-body that fit but had the console shift not column.
Does this address column shift interference? I see that your mounts raise the CTS-V pan to a point where its flush with the crossmsmber.

using your mounts on my car.....they are the original design....was going to try and drill holes on the cross member because of fitment issues with my h3 oil pan...instead i just took your measurements...bolted the mounts to the engine...sat it in place and burned them in where it was square on the crossmemeber....works great....thanks for all the help

Sorry for the confusion. I installed the engine in a 69 chevelle and it hits the a/c box. I removed the box to see how close it would be. I took pictures and could not get them to load. I was mocking up the chevelle with the engine before i installed it in the truck. Mock up is taking longer than i thought.
