68 C10 LS Build
OK Guys, I am in the process of my first LS swap. Figured I would jump on the forum wagon and keep you all updated with my progress. This project started out as a dual quad 327, TH350 and is being swapped for a freshly built 2001 Camaro ls1/4l60e. Here are some pics of the progress so far.

Re: 68 C10 LS Build
I'm planning on a 5.3 swap in my 68.
What did you use for motor mounts? |

Re: 68 C10 LS Build
I used the ones from lsxinnovations.com. I had to move my motor perches back 1" in order for the pan to clear the crossmember. If I ever do it again, I would just go ahead and purchase the dirty dingo sliders. But, mine were only 25 buck on ebay so Im not complaining.
