Accelerator pedal? Hooker Headers? Well, after trying to connect the throttle, it is VERY obvious that my gas pedal, with the pivot outside the interior, will NOT clear the intake. So I was just wondering what kind of set-ups people will be running with the 69 Camaro/LS1 setup? I've already got a Lokar throttle cable, and don't know what to use. Please help!!!
I'm also posting this to see if anyone has used the Hooker Headers made for a LS1/69 Camaro application? I know it's made to use with their motor mounts, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will fit S&P's motor alignment? I'm using stock steering. I have about 2 1/2" from the back of the intake to the firewall.
If it wasn't for this website, I would be nowhere on this swap - so thank you so much, guys! Once I get some experience in this swap, hopefully I'll be the one offering advice to people.

\You'd be the first to get the hookers 
Why don't you call hooker and ask them? Like i said in a previous post, they're nearly identical to my passenger side pacesetters (i flipped and twisted them in photoshop to double check, matching flange width to scale them) and they're really close to the same. (i've got s&p style mounts) The pass side pacesetter fits with a HUGE amount of clearance to the firewall... And width wouldnt be an issue at all. Look up the hookers. They sure do look pretty. Post up results if/when you do phone them up!

I wish they would have known some measurements. So, hopefully someone on here has their motor installed with Hooker's motor mounts? Somebody? Anybody?
Thanks again!

Hope you get some answers about the headers, as I was wondering the exact same thing.
But to answer your 1st question, I used a 6-cyl gas pedal and it worked almost perfect with the Lokar throttle cable. It's hard to explain how it's configured without seeing it.

Here's an original 69 Camaro 6 cylinder accelerator pedal. (also used on cross ram Z28, BTW).
Perfect for an LS1 swap! It fits in to the same location as the mechanical style, but instead of the underhood "arm" that goes on the shaft, you just have a snap clip.

How much does one of those cost?

Well thanks for the input on the pedal, guys! There's a local first-gen Camaro shop in town called Imperial Camaros, so I'll stop by and pick up a 6-cyl. pedal from them.
I called Hooker for the 3rd time and got a little more information from them. Looks like their motor mounts are designed to put the LS1 in the EXACT SAME location as the SBC originally was. The man couldn't give me any more information because the people who may know about it were off work already.
I guess I'll try again - In the meantime, STILL no one knows whether or not the Hooker headers will fit in my 69 with SnP motor mounts and stock steering?
