Swap an LS into your 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice or 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS with the MuscleRods LSX5 kit. Pick your year group (1991-1993 or 1994-1996) and the transmission that matches your build.
What's in the kit
- Two engine mounts and two frame brackets
- Transmission crossmember with two crossmember brackets
- Driver-side secondary bracket
- Polyurethane transmission mount
- Hardware pack
The crossmember brackets bolt through the original crossmember mounting holes.
Transmission options
Each year group can be ordered for an LS paired with a T-56 or TR-6060, 4L60E to 4L70E, 4L80E or 4L85E, 6L80E to 10L90E, TH400, or Powerglide, TH350 or 4-speed.
Does my transmission need tunnel work?
- 4L60E and 4L80E: no tunnel modification.
- T56: tunnel modification around the shifter.
- 6L80E and 6L90E: tunnel modification near the tailshaft housing.
Which oil pan works?
The LH8 oil pan works at factory ride height. For lowered cars, the BRP Moroso High Clearance pan is recommended.
Headers, A/C and accessories
- Long-tube headers require removing the front crossmember frame brace. Mid-length headers do not.
- The starter must be removed to install headers.
- 1998-2002 F-body alternator clears the frame. 1998-2002 F-body A/C does not; use the MuscleRods high-mount A/C bracket.
- Designed around factory suspension and steering.
