Calling for all 70-73 Camaro LS swap owners
Im putting a bone stock lq4 into my 73 camaro. I have the one inch set back motor mount plates and the complete motor. Im going with the truck intake and yes i know there will be hood clearance issues but im not worried about it.
I have a th350 drive shaft, how much will it need to be shortend for the 4l60e? & do i need the same yoke?
Any cheap headers that will work?
Anybody run just an external efi fuel pump with the stock tank?
And my biggest issue is the wiring. Any "cheapish" places in TX that do conversions?

Same yoke. You can run a aftermarket external pump, but it needs to be mounted lower than the factory sender/pickup. The truck intake should clear the factory flat hood. There is a lot of room with mine. A OEM camaro4 oilcan will give you perfect ground clearance and look like it was made specifically for this swap.

Yes you can use the stock truck access. They're ugly IMO but will work. Dougs' swap headers will work but might have to trim the pass rear LCA mount. If you have access to a welder and want to go cheap, get Summit or Jegs BBC headers and LS header flanges and have at it.

Not to start a carb vs efi debate but a well tuned carb can get just as good mpg as efi with these ls motors and also make more hp n/a. Ive decided to go carb though so i guess theres no need for this thread anymore lol

I used all truck accessories and Carshop 1" set back mounts. 4L80e in my car though. Truck accessories will fit with a cowl hood. I have an L88 Scoop on mine and fits without issue.
But then I removed the factory truck intake and put a Whipple on it. Looked better than the intake too.
But, going a different route now and sold the Whipple off. I also have a set of Headman LS 2" tube headers from this car that are black ceramic coated I would like to sell... PM me if you're interested.
