Look at Holley for all of your swap components. They have mounts, oil pan, trans crossmember, headers and exhaust.

Default Sweet. Another Chevelle project.

Cool. I am right in the middle of a LS-1 & T56 build into my 72 El Camino. It's in, running, and trying to get it close enough to go to the Goodguys show next month.
I will follow along.

P.S. Chevelle's are my go-to cars. Had 8 so far. Last was a 67. Did a real nice 70SS a couple years back. Love em.

I used Dirty Dingo slider motor mounts and after a little notch in the crossmember I was able to use my Camaro pan that came on the motor.
