I have a 69 Z28 Camaro, stock subframe with DSE speed kit 3 and their 600 steering box. Engine is a Z06 LS7 with wet sump conversion - currently running an F body oil pan. 4L80E automatic behind the LS7. Engine has the stock Z06 LS7 accessory drive currently. I guess the engine basically thinks it's an LS3 etc in terms of engine mounts required.
Any advice on which conversion engine mounts and headers to use please? - happy to change the oil pan if absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance

Holley/hooker has the parts you need, too.

Hey Kiwigt,
I'm another kiwi on here, got a 68 1st gen also. I'm really keen on the LS7 option. Not sure on wet sump dry sump options also. Pretty keen to keep as many GM parts as possible. Be keen to chat some time about your direction.
Cheers

The new Hooker clamshell retrofit engine mounts and headers will certainly work well for your combination as it sits, but we currently do not offer a 4L80 crossmember (4l60-4L75, TH400 and 2004R are the automatics we can accommodate currently) to go with them. There have been a lot of requests for a crossmember for the 4L80 and as such I can see something probably become available by the springtime.
