fbrown, just to recap specifically how you installed the ls motor/trans: you used Chevy frame mounts with Edelbrock motor mounts, retaining the factory motor position. An AC relocating bracket from Kwik used with the GMPP LS2 corvette accy kit meant no frame notching required. Your existing crossmember was used after drilling two additional holes. A good idea to install 90* fittings for the trans cooler lines before installing tranny. Fuel reg. used is a GM 10299146. Please correct me if anything I posted pertaining to your build is incorrect.
As you can tell, I am very much interested in your project. I will be installing a GM "connect and cruise' package in my 69, which should eliminate some of the things you had to deal with because of the "plug and play" nature of the kit. Nontheless, I am hoping you will answer some questions for me. First off, the cruise control stalk part number if you happen to know? Second, what would you do differently if you were to do another ls install in a GTO? What is your opinion of the Holley oil pan for this type of install? Last, with a different oil pan, do you see any way you could have installed the motor/trans as a unit? thanks in advance for your time.
