There are a lot of threads and a lot of combinations but for the sake of guys such as myself following in your footsteps, could you post up some of your swap information? I realize there's a sticky on some of this but there's also more players in the market now too. So if you could post up your car, the mounts, headers, crossmember and oil pan you used as well as any problems and solutions you encountered, it would make a lot of people, not the least of which myself, very happy. If you have an oddball car it would also be great to see how you accomplished things and maybe a pic or two.
thanks

Edelbrock plates and headers along with the pan, mounts and engine stands recommended in their instructions...

For the pan, I cut a 2"x2" 45* angle on each corner and welded aluminum angle in. I then did a similar mod to the internal baffle. I did not have to extend the pick-up.

A guy on another board (67ls3 I believe) that used a CTS-V pan with no problems. I would be interested to hear about anyone who used one and what they had to use to make it work.

I was told recently that Edelbrock has gotten out of the LS conversion mount business....anyone else hear that?
If anyone is interested in the BRP kit/headers, shoot me a PM or email. I can save you some $$$.
