Radiator choice
Hi Lou,
I have the LSA motor in my Camaro and the one issue that i found is with the radiator return location. The standard camaro radiator have them on the upper driver side of the vehicle which is what i ended up with because i did not know the angled intake would be an issue till later on. Anyways I would suggest that you get a new unit with the return line on the upper passenger side of the radiator this will allow you to do your intake tube with no interferance from the upper hose of the radiator. Although I did manage to make the custom intake tube it would have been easier with out the hose in the way. Here is a picture of my installation, you can check out by build thread in Lateral G " Pioneer Stage 3 LSA 69 RS SS Camaro" to see more. One other item, not sure what you plan to do with the oil pan but you will need a version that is similar to the one that comes with the motor but you will need to have clearance for the cross memeber. I modifed mine and the stupid thing hangs below the cross memeber and has a small leak. I am switching over to the MAST motorsports pan that is perfect for the installation. I will post images of the change out on my thread in the next few weeks. I hope this information is useful. I would have liked it if someone informed me of what the issues where before i got there. Would have saved me some headaches.
