Re: LS Engine install in a 64-66 Chevy truck

Hey Guys,

Here is mine sittin in her. It is a 6.0L LS2 from a 2005 SSR with T56. It took a long time to get it positioned correctly: centered, square, height, front to rear angle, fore/aft position, and level. I think I have it correct. I mounted it 1" forward of the original 283 for more room at the back of the engine. It is about 1/2" higher than the original for oil pan clearance with a 4 degree front to rear angle. I used the original factory hydraulic engine mounts that I connected directly to the front cross member and are out of the way of everything. I fabbed a new transmission cross member and re-designed the e-brake gimickus. The stock exhaust manifolds with cats and y-pipe all connect without interference as does the stock AC compressor. I had to change the PS pump though.

I will start a thread soon with the details.
