The LS is a bit lighter than the SBC since it is all aluminum. You should be good with the stock springs. You will love this thing when you get it up and running.

You can use the stock coil springs, the Complete LS motor is lighter than a cast iron block. I bought the CPP coil over setup for my 67 it works sweet.

Reviving a dead thread...
Out of curiosity, what trans mount did you use? Build your own? The Elk frame is different from the Chevelle and I'm still thinking through a trans cross member solution. Looks like I'll be building my own.

trans mount i had to build my own, pretty , just cut the mounting part of the trans mount and flip it up side up so itll coup the t56 mount. Just weld back and all set. The orginal support you have to modify along the frame. They dont fit in stock location.
