67LS3

what are you first gen guys using for manifolds/headers and for the rest of the system. my 2 sets of factory manifolds hit my power steering box from a 90 Z28. what brand of header are you using? are you using a modified exhaust kit for the rear of the car? let me know.

i got some hooker long tubes on my 69 with an ls1. ended up giving the #5 tube a dent a then another to clear the pitman arm better.

im running 327 frame stands, stock rubber motor mounts, and carshop engine plates.

what engine mounts, plates, and frame stands are you running?

Hey 67LS3,
Is the manifold just touching the box or is it putting pressure? I bought crate LS2 manifolds, and the passenger is beautiful...looks like it was made for it...but the driver is right against the box too.
Can you grind a small amount away?

I also have a 1967 Camaro convt. I'm putting in the LS376 crate engine, and found the the steering rack goes right into where the stock exhaust manifold would bolt to the collectors. I didn't plan on getting headers, but I think Kooks will make them to get around this. anyone know where i can find some sort of joint that would bolt to the frame and connect the steering column to a shaft that would connect to the rack? I'm not running the stock sub-frame. I have the body sitting on a one-piece chassis from Schwartz performance. suggestions?

You can spend $$$ on Flaming River ujoints and "support bearing", or go with generic Borgeson ujoints, a standard Timken roller bearing with the ID of your shaft's OD, and a fab a bracket to hold the bearing. This is pretty common to most rack conversions, it's not specific to the LS3.

again thanks. I also found this link, from a 1969 camaro using the same schwartz chassis I have. they used 2 joints from borgeson, an ididit column, and 3/4 DD shaft.

G8 Pontiac/VE Commodore are the tightest fit I have seen.

I am using them on a 68/LS7 conversion (at least initially until I get time to build a set of headers .)

Take a look at a pic here:

There is daylight between the box and the exh manifold. Approx 1/8". Mounts are ATS and the engine is moved forward 1/2".
