also, what motor mounts do you like? and where can I get headers for the 2nd gen camaro?
and I am thinking about adding the GMPP Stage III "hot cam", where can I get that?
thanks John. BTW, I love your car...

For motor mounts you can either get the adaptor plates from Trans Dapt (Summit or Jegs) or the adaptor plates from hotrodlane.cc I chose BRP motor mounts www.brphotrods.com
It seems that pacesetter headers for a fourth gen LS1 Z/28 will work with minor modification.
You can try www.gmpartsdirect.com for the engine or give Jason Cromer a call at Sam Taylor Buick in Florida as he gives excellent prices. I don't have his number handy but do a search on him here or at www.camaroz28.com

I have a set of aluminum LS1 to SBC engine mount adapters from hotrodlane.cc (aka Street and Performance) and I am a little suspicious that they are a too thick. It seems like most of the steel ones offered are a little thinner. I think the extra thickness is causing the motor to sit a little higher than intended and is causing my mounts not to match up correctly... however I am still investigating.

yes, I sure did. im thinking of getting the Edelbrock race victore 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8. I hear they fit 2nd gen's with "tweaking"
and thank you John, and everyone else.
BTW, I saw your car in a How to build a pro-tour book when you still had the ls1
where did you get your wheels?
