Complete MuscleRods LS Engine Swap Kit for 1967-1969 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird
If you are tackling an LS engine swap in a 1967 to 1969 F Body, this conversion kit streamlines position and clearance challenges by combining precision motor mounts with crossmember brackets that use factory frame rail holes. Precision machined plates preserve the original engine tilt and transmission axis to keep driveshaft angles in check for more consistent universal joint life. In addition, the brackets accept T56, 4L60E or 4L80E transmissions without tunnel cutting. Adjustable polyurethane isolators and provisions for LH8 or aluminum oil pans lift the sump above the floor to safeguard ground clearance on lowered or uneven surfaces, while sequence labeled hardware bags group mounts, brackets and spacers for each step of installation.
Engine and Transmission Alignment Preservation
The kit features precision machined motor mount plates that hold the LS engine at the original tilt angle of the 1967 to 1969 F Body chassis. By preserving the factory geometry, driveline vibration is reduced and universal joint life is extended under load. Adjustable spacers allow installers to fine tune alignment within millimeter tolerances for both engine and transmission axes. This precise fitment results in smoother acceleration and less noise. It promotes consistent driveline behavior on street and track applications.
Crossmember Bracket Architecture for Direct Fit
Engineered to use factory frame rail holes, the steel crossmember brackets offer a true bolt in solution for popular manuals and automatics. Pre aligned slots and hole guides match the T56 and 4L60E patterns so there is no need for tunnel grinding or rail cutting. The heavy steel construction provides the support needed for high torque output. Polyurethane isolators secure the transmission mount while cushioning vibrations. Installers gain a robust connection that stands up to towing and spirited driving.
Oil Pan Accommodation for Enhanced Ground Clearance
By lifting the oil sump above the chassis floor this kit clears the way for taller intake manifolds and custom hood lines on lowered cars. It supports both high clearance and LH8 style oil pans, keeping pickup depth correct during cornering or uneven terrain. Positioning the pan rearward also helps protect it from road debris and obstacles. This arrangement delivers peace of mind for enthusiasts who push suspension travel and ground clearance limits.
Sequence Labeled Hardware for Streamlined Installation
All mounts, brackets, spacers and fasteners are sorted into numbered hardware packs that correspond directly to each step in the guide. Clear labels identify parts for motor mounts, frame adapters and the crossmember bracket, removing guesswork and cutting assembly time. Illustrations reference original frame locations so installers can confirm placement before drilling or bolting. This systematic approach minimizes errors and accelerates the swap process in both home garages and professional shops.
