Hey guys, I was wondering what setup you all are using.

~Frame stands
~Mount adapters
~X-Member
~Headers

~And most importantly....gear ratio.

I just want to see if anyone has my same setup and see if they like it.

Thanks,

~Joe

X2 as I plan a LSX swap in my 67

I bought an LS6 and t56 out of a Caddy CTSV. Street and performance sells the stuff that bolts right in, no headaches. I bought from others and had to send the parts back.

As for the headers, I did the same, S & P

The trans crossmember was harder. Since the t56 in the ctsv is shorter and mounts differently I used my stock mount and moved it rearward. Welded on some angle iron and mounted it, worked out perfect and very clean looking.

As for the wiring and programming I will go to them also. A friend knows 4 people who have used them so far and each time the engine started the first try with no issues

Ok, so S&P basically has everything you need for the swap?

Just for the record.....

~SBC frame stands
~Hooker mount adapters
~Hooker long tube headers
~Custom X-member
~Going 3.73 or 3.90 gears next week
~Custom factory wire harness (built by me)

American Racing Headers 2" primaries to 3.5" high velocity merge - Dr. Gas X-pipe

HKE LS1 427ci / T56 tranny

You guys should add steering option to your list too (standard sized box, smaller 600, or R&P conversion). And oil pan used (modified 4th gen camaro, autokrafters, ATS, etc)

Good idea for a thread.

BRPhotrods mounts and crossmember,front steer LS1 rack and pinion, stock f-body oil pan modified subframe Stainlessworks headers SB frame stands. so far engine and trans are installed -Denny's 3.5" alum shaft and 8.5" 10 bolt 3.42 gears, nowhere near running been stuck in bodyman Jail 4 years and counting. brphotrods.com

Yes and they are always ready to help with questions.

'99 Fbody LS1 and T56
ATS-style (flipped) mount plates
Energy Suspension short&wide poly mounts
327 frame stands
Autokraft (Champ) pan
ATS crossmember with ES poly mount
AGR 12:1 power steering box
Hooker headers (which DO NOT clear the steering)
3.70 gear

3.70 would be sweet with shorter tires. With the 27.1 inch tires I'm running right now, I'd like more gear (then again, this is coming from a guy running a 4.10 in hih daily-driver '00 Mustang).
