LSA or LS3 best fitment in 66 nova w/ tci everything

[BC Cash]

Building a 66 Chevy II..I found a great deal on a low mile (6k) LSA with a tr6060, around $14k ..before I’ve been all but sold out on going with a blueprint LS3 with t56 connect and cruise, comes with accessory drive, muscle car oil pan, ecm, etc. they even dyno it, for $17k.. I’m more concerned with fitment and changes that will have to be made on the LSA than the cost of either. I had a 2014 ZL1 and I loved the whine of the supercharger and thought it would be an awesome engine in my nova but the blueprint sure seems like the easier option.. anybody have experience on doing an LSA in a Chevy II with tci pro touring ifs, inner fenders, headers, motor LS mounts, etc..??

Thanks. Yeah, Photo bucket screwed a lot of people. I need to repopulate those threads. I put an LSA in a stock front end, you should have no problem with the TCI clip. You will have to cut the floor for the 6060. Church Boys Racing makes some long tube headers that will fit. He also has many parts for the Nova/LSx conversions. Check out his website at www.churchboysracing.com

As to the mounts, I used ICT Billet adapter plates and energy suspension mounts. For wiring solutions check out Bill at BP Automotive, showstopper series. Very nice harness and has the ECM, TCM and pedal. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions
