96 impala ls swap , i need help guys !!
Hello ,
im planing to ls swap my b body 96 impala ss , i got ls1 engine with trany
from junk yard and will be rebuilding both ,
i have some questions and concerns and i will really appreciate any inputs and help ,
1. perfect oil pan : problem with muscle cars swap oil pans is they mostly hang below the crossmember , my car is air bagged and i can't have that , i will be useing dirty dingo mounts so which oil pan will be most fit ?
2. which headrs ? : which headrs will be most fit for this swap ? i have no problem cuting the frame or the crossmember for slight adjustments , and what size should i use with a stock ls1 ?
3. oil pump : should i use an aftermarket one such as milling to avoid any future pressure problems ? if i do which one it will be for a stock engine ?
i read so many threads but i did not find a good answer especially about oil
pan
thanks guys ...

You can use F-body headers by hooker, I would also recommend using the Holley LS oil pain. If you are going to use an aftermarket oil pump, use one made for the LS1 or 2. The Holley pan will work for that set up because it comes with it's own pick up tube. I used this article to swap an LS in a B Body
