Hey guys,
When you have done your ls swaps on a 67 camaro, what is the best frame mount to use? Would it be small block or big block frame mounts? I am building a ls7 for my car with a wet sump conversion with a champs oil pan that is the same as the speedtech one. I also have the Ridetech with the Tru Turn front suspension. Thanks guys!

I don't know if this is going to help, but the Holley kit seems to get high reviews from guys. I just purchased their frame mounts also. Nice pieces. You have to use Clam shell mounts though. Anchor part# 2292.

If you have already bought your headers, oil pan, engine swap plates etc., and you are using a stock subframe, you'll want the short/wide small block frame stands. If not, I'd suggest using all the holley parts that go together as mentioned above. Scott

i have the holley system and it works good. the new long tubes work with the tru turn system also. dont know if the champ pan works with there mounts. or you could use the speed tech mounts and headers.

Thanks for the replies. Right now I have big block frame mounts installed on the stock subframe. I have my original small block frame mounts still as well. Just wasn't sure if I needed to swap them out for the small block. I can't use the holley oil pan. Any stroke over 3.62 doesn't have clearance through the holley pan. The LS7 has a 4.0 stroke and if I go with a 454 it has a 4.125 stroke. The Champs pan will clear it though. Talking about the Holley pan, even though they claim it clears the tru turn, there are some on pro-touring.com that have had to modify the holley pan to clear the tru turn.

I have run the old 302-1 holley pan with no issues on the tru turn. Also, the Mast pan has more clearance than the old 302-1 holley pan. If using the 1st gen frame stands, the mast pan is a great choice if it would clear the stroke. As far as the stroker, neither holley pan will clear? I just want to know for future reference. I have used the 98-02 GM Fbody pan on an LS2 stroker. I just did some very minor clearancing on it just to be safe. Kind of puts you in a tough spot. Qiute a few strokers out there, just need to see which swap pans clear and select parts from there i guess
