Yep your on the right track but you forgot the AJE trans cross member for what ever trans your useing........now your motor and trans will sit at the right angle..

F-body oil pan fits perfect......Dynotech headers fit great .....the Kooks are nice but the drivers side dumps right at the trans cross member mount.......if your on a tight budget you could try these....

I`m on my 2nd conversion and used AJE k-member with LS mounts and trans cross member and both times i have been vary happy..........If your useing a all aluminum motor i would go with the 150 pound springs.........i went with 175lb springs with my ls3 and wish i would have gotten 150lb springs.......the higher the number the stiffer..

thanks booboo. i was thinking of making my own trans crossmember but for the price i might as well just get it. my motor is alum so ill def get the softest ones. youd say the dynotech headers are the best?

14-150 or 14-175 are ideal for street strip cars with reduce weight in the front end. Yes, Dynatechs are a good choice, it's what I am using 1 7/8's. For their cost they should get 02 bungs but don't, you have to put them in yourself.

you guys have a link for the headers at all? i tried googling

found them on jegs! im guessing that they are just coated steel? did you guys have any flaking or rusting?

If you plan on drag racing at all, I'll second the 150lb springs. I messed up and got the 175lb, needless to say I had to order a set of 130lbs a week later.

On my 90 notch with my alum. ls3 i went from 14-175 to a 12-150 and it seems way better now but i can`t put the car on the ground yet............yes Dynatech LS/fox conversion headers..........use a 98-02 LS1 f-body oil pan with the AJE k-member with there LS motor and trans mounts....
