Complete MuscleRods LS Engine Swap Kit for 1963-1967 Chevy Corvette
For a C2 Stingray owner looking to install an LS engine while keeping the original frame intact this Corvette LS Conversion Kit for 1963 to 1967 models offers a precise solution. By matching factory mounting points with precision cut frame brackets this system maintains the correct drivetrain angle and cuts down on unwanted vibration. MuscleRods also includes a transmission crossmember and mount engineered for popular units such as the 4L60E and 4L80E so steering and oil pan choices fit without extra modifications.
Precision Engineered Drivetrain Alignment
The kit's precision cut frame brackets and motor mount locations hold an LS engine at the exact factory geometry, preserving the correct drivetrain angle to deliver a smooth, vibration free driving experience. By minimizing misalignment, this design reduces stress on U-joints and transmission input shafts, which in turn promotes consistent power delivery and component longevity. The integrated transmission crossmember bracket and spacers lock the assembly into position, preventing unwanted movement under hard acceleration or cornering. This alignment strategy ensures throttle response remains sharp and engine torque is transferred cleanly to the rear wheels.
Streamlined Installation Without Tunnel Modifications
For C2 Stingray owners fitting a 4L60E transmission, this conversion kit eliminates the need for intrusive transmission tunnel changes. Included hardware covers every fastener, stud and washer required to attach the motor mounts and crossmember, saving installation time and preserving the Corvette's original sheetmetal. The polyurethane transmission mount absorbs drivetrain shock while maintaining rigidity, allowing hobbyists and professional shops alike to complete the swap with confidence. Clear mounting points and a dedicated crossmember bracket simplify alignment checks so that tuning and road testing can begin sooner.
Versatile Oil Pan and Steering System Compatibility
Whether using a high clearance oil pan with factory power assist plumbing or switching to an F Body style pan for manual or late model steering setups, this kit accommodates both layouts without custom fabrication. The frame brackets are spaced to clear power steering pumps, gear boxes and aftermarket headers, and the crossmember design affords ample clearance for pan depth variations. This flexibility lets builders choose the oiling solution that best matches their performance goals while retaining Corvette steering options. As a result, custom power assist, manual or electric steering conversions integrate seamlessly into the factory frame rails.
American Made Quality and Durable Components
Every element of the 1963-1967 Corvette LS Conversion Kit is designed and manufactured in the USA, reflecting a commitment to precision and material integrity. Steel brackets undergo rigorous laser cutting and forming processes, while the motor mounts and transmission mount employ durable polyurethane to resist fluid exposure and environmental wear. This combination of robust materials and stringent production standards delivers consistent fitment and long service life. Builders can rely on these components to stand up to demanding driving conditions without compromise.
