72 Cutlass convertible LS swap
Hello all, I just bought a 2004 GTO ls1 motor and tranny and am going to be installing it in my 72 convertible. I just wanted to know the basics and what are some of the things that I would be expecting.
A little info that I would like to know is:
*Is there a oil pan that I can use to help ease the headache
*How would I handle the motor mounts? Do I buy small block Chevy mounts for my a body car?
* Does anyone have a lead on a gas tank?
Once again I just want to know the basics. Thank you for your help in advance

Pan, CTS-V is probably the most economic and popular.
Mounts, chevelle frame mounts were my choice
tank, 96 caprice with Racetronix pump.

The most basic thing would probably be reading and searching, fortunately at this point almost everything has been done before. Be sure you know what you want before you start and do it the first time around, saves tons of $$$.
If I were to do it over I'd use plastic fuel line from a caddy and a factory tank with a tancsinc or similar setup.
