ls3 install info needed for a 65 chevelle - Lateral-g Forums

I just bought 65 chevelle & I'm putting in an ls3 with a 4l65e transmission in it. I'm trying to find out what works best for this install? Headers, engine & trans mounts, engine harness & fuel tank setup?*

65 here w/ LS1 and T56...where you at in MI?
Don't think my method was the "best" but it's coming together. Glad to share info.

Lapeer here...
I built my own mounts and used Hedman Muscle Rod mid-length headers. I also used a f-body pan but notched my crossmember for clearance.

I have a 64 Chevelle and used street and performance mounts, Mast motorsports pan and notched the front crossmember. For a harness I went with Speartech and then used a Ricks tank. Good to see some more early Chevelles here.

Hi JB,

Do you have any pictures on the notch and reasoning behind it? Im going to be assisting a member with a swap and want to get more info on different set ups.
