Default Ls3 in To 1967 camaro

Hi, im about To by entire drivetrain from wrecked 2013 camaro. Theres everything included examble the steering column and rad, all wiring etc. I know that i need crossmember for the trans but is there something else thats has To be bought? Engine mounts are the on the shopping list also. Im gonna put the original headers because they Come with the engine and change them afterwards maybe.

And also is it possible To use the 2013 camaro ignition lock so that i dont have To tune the vats out? The column is totally different then the 1967 but is it possible To disassembly the lock and swap it To the old one? Then i would have the New key with vats etc?

Headers may or may not fit most are car and engine specific but you may get lucky, The one problem you will have is with the transmission. The 2013 Camaro had an independent rear suspension and your 1967 does not. An independent rear suspension uses a fixed length driveshaft and your Camaro will need a driveshaft that has a slip joint built into it because as the rearend moves up and down the length of the driveshaft changes. http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ Can make you a driveshaft with a slip joint built in to solve this problem.

What about the fuel system? I have the original pump and fuel tank put i dont think That the original pump fits To the tanks Inc tank. Also have the 2013 camaro fuel tank etc but its so odly shaped that im gonna use tanks ink tank. Whats the Best way To solve the fuel system? Is there a regulator inside the pump or outside?

edit:i´m using the tanks ink tank and use regulatar for pressure control.
