MuscleRods LS Engine Swap Kit for 1963-1967 Chevy Corvette C2 Stingray
When fitting a modern LS power plant into a C2 Stingray this kit tackles tunnel clearance and alignment challenges common to transplant projects. Engine and transmission brackets are laser cut from domestic steel to maintain factory drivetrain angle and avoid frame rail modifications. By preserving drivetrain geometry while clearing 4L60E or 4L80E transmissions and high clearance oil pans this MuscleRods solution keeps the factory steering layout intact and saves hours in the shop. Installers benefit from predrilled hole patterns that allow bolt on installation without having to alter the transmission tunnel or reroute steering linkages.
Precision Laser Cut Brackets for C2 Corvette Drivetrain Alignment
Integrating an LS engine into a 1963-1967 Corvette demands exact mounting points to preserve handling characteristics. The bracket set is laser cut from thick domestic steel with precise tolerances that match the original C2 frame rail contours. This accuracy maintains the factory drivetrain angle, preventing undue stress on mounts and ensuring a vibration free driving experience even under hard acceleration. Predrilled hole patterns allow a true bolt on installation, eliminating the need for trial fitting or transmission tunnel modifications. By holding the powertrain at the intended angle, steering feel and chassis balance remain faithful to the Stingray's performance heritage.
Modular Crossmember Spacers for Transmission and Oil Pan Fit
The conversion kit includes a versatile crossmember spacer system that accommodates both 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions without altering the frame tunnel. Installers can select from factory style oil pans or F Body units and position the spacers to ensure proper pan rail clearance. This modular approach prevents interference with power steering or manual linkages, so the original steering layout stays intact. Bolt up the crossmember bracket and spacers in minutes, avoiding time consuming mockups and metalwork. The result is a clean underbody fit that supports high clearance oil pans while retaining the Stingray's signature lines.
Polyurethane Transmission Mount for Effective Vibration Isolation
A dedicated polyurethane insert in the transmission mount balances rigidity with damping to block driveline shock from reaching the chassis. This material resists oil and coolant exposure and withstands repeated heat cycles under the hood. By filtering harsh vibrations, the mount lowers cabin noise and enhances comfort without sacrificing throttle or clutch response. Its form stability under load ensures that alignment remains consistent through spirited launches and spirited touring alike. The outcome is a smoother ride that protects linkages and bushings over thousands of miles.
American Fabrication Process Ensuring Consistent Fitment
Every bracket, spacer and mount in this LS conversion kit is engineered and built in the United States under strict quality control protocols. Laser cutting and CNC bending deliver uniform dimensions across all units, addressing variances in C2 frame rails from early to late model years. Steel sourced from domestic mills exhibits predictable mechanical properties and weld behavior, eliminating weak points in critical load paths. Rigorous inspection in the facility ensures that each component arrives ready for straightforward installation. Builders benefit from a reliable fit and access to local support should they require guidance or replacement parts.
