Will the new ExtReme front clip not work with a traditional SBC?

I've got a '67 Firebird and I wanna keep the traditional Pontiac engine. . .will the new ExtReme front clip work with a Pontiac engine?

it could be made to work with a SBC We just have not done the required fitting process and parts development for that engine YET. as for the PONTIAC I don't think it will fit at all.

. . .but the Pro-Touring subframe should be able to fit a Pontiac 400/455 correct?

That's a bummer to hear about the Pontiac not working for the ExtReme front subframe at all. . .when that came out it had pretty much made up my mind as to the direction I wanted to go with the front subframe on my '67 Firebird. . .

. . .now it's gonna be back to the drawing board. . .

We have had customers put the Pontiac motor in the Pro Touring sub frame but we do not supply motor mounts or have headers. the dimensions on the motor mount is along way back from the SB BB and LS that means custom mounts we can supply the parts needed to build some. Plus the Exhaust ports are really low and working the headers around the steering shaft or the other way around becomes the problem. Like a say less than a hand full of people have done it so it makes little sense from the r&D stand point.

we looked at the model and the Pontiac motor when designing the Extreme sub and there was just no way it was going to work inside our design criteria.

Are the headers the problem with the ExtReme subframe or are there other issues as well???

I am only assuming as we have not gone very far, but thinking oil pan, engine mounts, oil filter adaptor?? and front drive options.

Will the Holley oil pans work on an Ls engine in a first gen with this sub frame?

No the taper on the pan is too much we use the ATS pan for remote filter applications or the MAST pan will work or the autoKraft pan
