Which LS swap kit for first gen camaro?

[toofun]

Getting ready to do an LS swap and want to know opinions on swap kits that are out there. UMI, TRANSDAPT, HOLLEY, TEXAS SPEED, speed tech, etc... I see prices very greatly between all of these companies when you look at their engine mount, oil pan, header and other components. Which is the best bang for your buck. I don’t want to cheap out and chance a problem but also don’t want to break the bank either. Opinions on these companies or any company I forgot? A combination of companies? Any opinions appreciated

Holley.

The Holley stuff works well with the factory subframe. No tunnel surgery with a T56 magnum either.

You’ll get the most relevant answer by adding some specific information about your swap, such as what transmission, accessory drive system and A/C system (if any) you are planning to use and whether you are using any aftermarket steering and/or front suspension components.

Normal front drive system that comes on an LS three motor out of a 2010 Camaro LS three I am getting already has the head swap as well as intake swap. There was an AC on the engine I’m getting but he’s keeping that I have a vintage air AC unit that I plan on swapping onto it I have Detroit speed suspension in the front normal steering I plan on using a T 56 magnum but do not want to perform surgery on the tunnel if possible be all the systems look nice and complete but they are very expensive

Good luck using the factory Camaro accessory drive. That alternator is going to hit some stuff on a stock subframe pretty hard as far as I know....

Detroit Speed subframe or bolt on DSE parts on a stock subframe?
