1967 sprint questions
I just purchased a 1967 Le Mans sprint with no motor no trans. Was going to put in a v-8 figuring it would be easier to find . But I found a sprint 6 complete running from a firebird with a stick trans and radiator. The car has the frame mounts,exhaust and z-bar. Will I have to change alot of parts to make it work? Just new to the sprint thing. Thanks Bluegoose

should be easy..especially if the 6 has its engine side mounts still. The frame mounts will be a bit different but easily had.
sprints are way cool. Im trying to get a convertible sprint myself |

Just Remember to take lots of pics of the Firebird so when it's going into the Lemans it looks the same as it did in the Firebird. Take your time & pay attention to where things are comng from & then put them back in the same way & you should be ok. We learned the same way your going to know, by DOING. Rex.

If the car was a OHC model and never had any changes/mod's then it should be a straight forward install.
As stated you will need the A-Body engine mounts (shown below) as well as the OHC engine frame brackets. The F-Body mounts & Brackets are diff. IIRC the Z is also diff for the A-Body. Best of luck.

throttle cable and bracket are different too
if the Sprint motor is a 68 you will have trouble with fan clearance (Ask how I know ) also radiator is different so just buy a new one I would go with a 3 core to make sure it stays cool where are you located?

Why does the fan not fit? Do I need different water pump or the fan itself ? The Le Mans has some of the parts in the trunk.

68-9 used a spacer for fan because of larger balancer.
this is very close to bottom of radiator when used in 66-7 body Firebirds and 68 and newer A bodys had plenty of room my fix was to have the 67 balancer bored and cut to fit the 250 crank
