MuscleRods LS Engine Swap Kit for 1963-1967 Chevy Corvette C2 Stingray
Anyone tackling an LS powertrain swap in a 1963 to 1967 C2 Stingray understands how critical exact engine placement is for smooth operation. The 1963 to 1967 Corvette LS Conversion Kit by MuscleRods uses laser cut steel brackets to tie directly into the frame rails for perfect drivetrain geometry and eliminates the need to alter the transmission tunnel. With included crossmember spacers for both 4L60E and 4L80E, this system clears F Body and high clearance oil pans while preserving power assist steering layout. Installers benefit from precise hole patterns that cut fitting time and avoid extra modifications.
Fabricated Steel Brackets Ensuring Precise Drivetrain Geometry
The conversion kit's engine brackets are laser cut from thick steel plate and precisely welded to align with the Corvette's factory frame rails. By maintaining the factory drivetrain angle, this setup delivers a vibration free ride and minimizes stress on engine mounts under load. Exact hole patterns eliminate the need for trial fitting and prevent alteration of the transmission tunnel or body panels. Securing the LS engine in its ideal position also preserves steering feedback and handling consistency, so every corner feels as it was designed.
Flexible Transmission Crossmember with Spacer System
This transmission crossmember bracket accommodates 4L60E and 4L80E gearboxes through a modular spacer layout that positions bolt patterns correctly without cutting or reshaping the tunnel. Spacer placement provides clearance for both high clearance and F Body oil pans, letting builders choose any Gen III or Gen IV LS variant without added fabrication. The bracket works with factory and aftermarket steering configurations, preserving the original undercarriage appearance. Its bolt on design speeds installation and maintains factory clearances for steering boxes and power assist components.
Polyurethane Mounts for Vibration Damping and Longevity
Incorporating a polyurethane insert in the transmission mount balances rigidity and shock absorption to filter driveline vibrations before they reach the chassis. This material resists oil and coolant exposure while retaining its properties through repeated heat cycles in the engine bay. When installed, the mount dampens harshness and lowers cabin noise for a more comfortable driving experience. Its resistance to deformation under aggressive acceleration and braking ensures consistent alignment and dependable performance over time.
Domestic Production Delivering Consistent Quality
All brackets, mounts, spacers, and hardware in this kit are engineered and manufactured in the United States, ensuring strict quality control at every stage. Laser cutting and CNC bending produce precise fitment for every Corvette frame built between 1963 and 1967. Domestic material sourcing guarantees reliable mechanical properties and simplifies part replacement if required. Rigorous inspection processes ensure builders receive components that install seamlessly without secondary machining, while local manufacturing reduces lead times and offers accessible support for professional shops and home garages alike.
