Default Ls conversion parts recommendation

Guys, I have a new Project. I have acquired a 67 convertible camaro. The car has no motor or trans and needs some work, however I am gonna ls it and was seeking some feedback on possible components I should use that are not going to break the bank. I want to get some long tube headers, a gas tank, a radiator, and a possible oil pan for an ls conversion. I would like them to be under 400 dollars each item. Thanks in advance guys.

These parts work well with a stock subframe. Not sure about your $400 each item.

I too went with the Holley LS conversion kit, engine mounts, stainless mid length headers, transmission mount, it all bolted in perfectly. I sent my original wire harness to Speartech for stand alone operation and computer re-flash, Rick's stainless fuel tank. I have a MAST oil pan which also fit perfectly. The only item under $ 400.00 was the oil pan. Application is a 69 Firebird convertible with a modern GTO engine and Tremec TKO-600 five speed.

Long tube headers, radiator & fans, and an EFI tank for under $400?

I think you need to buy used parts.

But actually I have a set of Holley/Hooker LS swap headers that i'd sell you for $400, they were used for mockup.

Is this short or longtube? Also, will it fit 72 nova with all Holley swap parts?
Thanks

Long tube headers were not a requirement. Just headers in general, I got the spectra tank for under 300 bucks, and a radiator from superior radiator in Michigan. I used their radiator in my previous swap and it worked flawlessly. I paid 400 on the dot for my radiator that includes shipping. These parts are proven to me. All I need is the oil pan and I may look into the holly one. Used parts would be ok but I got some decent ones without going used. And for headers I went with the e bay shorties. This isn't a performance build it's a cruiser. I think I will be fine with the parts I selected.
