Re: new donor and new crew

If you are running A/C, it may hit the frame in the stock F-body location (lower right). The A/C compressor in the stock location also requires that the right side engine mount be moved back, to clear teh compressor. Sounds like you have it in though. Where are you going to mount the PCM?

The Corvette accessory brackets & A/C compressor are different and mount closer to the engine for better clearance on swaps.

I have put LT1's into a 91 RS Camaro, 67 Chevelle, 66 El Camino and a 68 Jaguar XJ6.

Great engine as long as you have a vented Opti and a good water pump.

Sorry, I sold the Elky in 2003 and don't have any pics of it handy.

Here are a couple I had on hand of the 67 Chevelle. Engine is quite dirty as the pic was taken while I was doing the body work. Big time sleeper with 12" front & 11" rear disc, huge sway bars, heavy springs, Koni red's and poly everywhere. I kick myself every time I think about having sold it. I did get $8k out of it in primer with the body work done but the interior needing completely redone so at least I didn't lose money on it too.

Lost all the pics of the 91 RS & Jag due to a hard drive crash. Can't find the back-up discs to save my life.
