Default 69 camaro ls1 questions

I am considering a ls1 swap. I was wondering if I could run the gear box on it for stering or if I need to swap to a rack and pinion setup.

With the S&P type mount you can run the gear box, but you will need to notch the oil pan. S&P offers a notched pan and modified pick up for $200 and exchange for your old pan.

Use the search feature and search for first gen Camaro, or 67, 68, 69 Camaro and you will find lots of posts about your swap.

Good luck

Pat

Also, you can get equivalent mount adapeters on EBay for about $40. They are made of steel instead of aluminum, or you can make your own based on the templates in the FAQ. For wiring harness and ECU programming I recommend Speartech, but there are several others including S&P that will do the work too.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress
