For a gm a-body, is that all that is needed is the brp mounts? Does this eliminate all intereference to the oil pan regardless of which LS is used?

Thanks-JOhn

Default 68 Cutlass A body LS1 4L60 swap

Spring is here, (I know this by the fresh 8" of snow here in Minnesota) and I've kicked this project into high gear. I've started dumping some pics at photobucket. I've tried to label my pics as to help others doing this A body swap.

Let me know what you think!

I ended up buying Hooker Swap headders for my LS1. I just noticed that the stock plug wire ends with the metal shields don't seem to fit between the headder tubes. Is there a good solution to this problem?

I used Taylor wires. I had to build one custom wire to route it away from the headers. Other than that one they work great, though they are a little spendy for no more wire than you get.
