LS1 in a 61 Vette...Ever been done? Guys,
A good friend of mine is pulling the SBC motor out of a 61 Vette in his garage and is thinking about an LS1 swap.
Has anyone done this before? Any websites or links on where to start for things like motor mounts, etc.
TIA,

The motor mounts are the same as a swap into any other SBC vehicle. Go to S&P (www.hotrodlane.cc) or find the plans for making your own right here in the archives of this forum (search for "motor mounts"). I don't recall any swaps on this site into solid axle Corvettes but it's just about the same as any other swap. You can check out my site for pics and information on my swap to get you started.
