Simplify Your 1975-1979 X-Body Nova/Ventura LS Swap with MuscleRods

For Nova and Ventura models from 1975 through 1979, precision steel mounts lock in ideal drivetrain alignment to deliver a smoother ride free of vibration. MuscleRods Engine Swap Kit combines preconfigured hardware for 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions without altering the transmission tunnel and accommodates F-Body oil pans for expanded engine options. Featuring all American made components, it ensures a straightforward installation and enduring reliability.

Complete MuscleRods LS Swap Kit for 1975-1979 X-Body Nova/Ventura

Swapping an LS power plant into a Nova or Ventura from 1975 to 1979 hinges on accurate positioning and the MuscleRods 1975 to 1979 X Body Nova LS Conversion Kit ensures that critical alignment with a full bracket and mount set. Precision machined frame brackets preserve the factory tunnel and set the correct engine angle for a 4L60E or 4L80E transmission while clearing F Body oil pan profiles without modifying rails or block. The assembly uses a drivetrain alignment solution that mirrors factory tilt for reduced vibration, extending bearing life and delivering a quieter drive. Backed by American made hardware, installers avoid custom fitting and maintain chassis strength from start to finish.

Precision Mount Geometry for Optimal Drivetrain Alignment

The conversion kit's engine mount brackets are machined to exact tolerances that replicate factory LS tilt and ride height in the X Body chassis. This precise geometry ensures torque loads flow evenly through the drivetrain, dramatically reducing vibration that can accelerate wear on universal joints and bearings. Rubber isolators within each mount absorb minor movement without compromising rigidity, preserving bearing life and lowering noise under both cruising and acceleration. By maintaining an engineered angle, installers achieve a quieter drive and smoother throttle response right out of the box.

Floor Preserving Transmission Crossmember for 4L60E and 4L80E

Engineered to bolt into the original frame holes, the crossmember supports 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions without altering the tunnel or floor pan. Its drop-in design preserves chassis strength and eliminates the need for cutting or reshaping, allowing builders to retain factory rigidity. Installers can position the transmission at the correct angle without shims or spacers, simplifying fitment and reducing install time. Routine access for service or inspection is also easier since the stock tunnel remains intact and free from modifications.

Adaptable Clearance for F Body Oil Pan Configurations

Whether the project calls for a deep-sump pan or a standard-depth design, dedicated spacers and bracket offsets create the necessary stand-off to clear most F Body oil pan profiles. This adaptability guarantees adequate hood clearance under stock lines, eliminating grinder work on rails or block. Compatibility extends across Gen III/IV LS variants such as LS1, LS3, 5.3L and 6.0L, giving builders freedom to match oiling performance to street, strip or road course requirements. The result is a clean, efficient installation with minimal guesswork.

All American Hardware and Quality Controlled Fabrication

Every bracket mate and piece of included hardware is produced domestically under strict inspection standards. Weld joints undergo quality checks to confirm they withstand elevated torque loads with zero flex or failure. By sourcing all components from a single production line, this kit eliminates misfit parts and assembly errors commonly found in mixed-source packages. Installers can trust that each bolt, bushing and bracket aligns perfectly, ensuring consistent fit and reliable performance.
