So, who's going to run an LSx engine package in their 67-69 F-body ??

My next project will have a big inch LSx.



Anybody know of someone putting one of these in their car?

We are about to do an LS1 in my neighbors 68 F-body. What issues will we have with install? Will the A/C compressor in the stock location clear the right frame rail? Any and all thoughts will be much appreciated.

Engine mounts, transmission cross member, clutch hydraulics and the oil pan..... just for starters. The AC compressor will not fit unless you use engine mounts that shove the engine foward.... but that isnt the way to go about it either. There are a few different way to go about the AC compressor but there are some good ones and definately some bad ones........

There are a couple of ways to go about this but just about all the parts you are needing are available through ATS.

What is the cost involved with this swap.

minus the engine/tranny:

A) what are the ancillary parts costs

B) can't think of a B right now

So, how does all this make installing a LSx less expensive than a conventional small block, again (not including headers and the air compressor issue)? Granted, you could install a SBC and still pony up all these cost with it, but you could also do it without a single one of these items depending on what you might already have.
