Crap. Can it be trimmed to fit at all?

Hey guys what oil catch cans are you running and where did you mount them?

Also are you running a single or dual(clean and dirty)?

ignatz

homemade bracket

Corey_68

Looks great, I'll have to mount it elsewhere since I'm running A/C.

Are you running a clean side as well?

illenema

What a thread

bebezote

great info.... didnt even think about a catch can...

zigvs

homemade waterneck also?

ignatz

You noticed! It is the stock thermostat housing cut on my table saw and reoriented to duck under the spreader bar.

There is a straight neck housing available but it wouldn't work with a spreader bar in place.

jays78

I would buy one of those filler necks. You making them?

And what type of fittings are you using on the heater hoses?
Did you have to cut down the side of the water pump to make clearance for those fittings?

ignatz

Good thing aluminum is so easy to cut. Cut the side off the waterpump and the neck off the housing with my sawzall and tablesaw. Local guy welded the neck back on. The fittings are standard from Earl's or somebody like that. Note you need an a-arm solution that doesn't need shims for this to work.

jays78

No shims? Did you use the offset upper bar on your control arms? Can't tell from the angle.

ignatz

That's an SPC upper control arm. It adjusts just like a strut rod and controls caster and camber. The nut's not tightened yet in the picture.

what engine mounts did you use? I am doing a LS1/ T56 swap in my 64 that has steeriods also. I want the motor and trans as low as possible to minimize the mods I will have to do to the trans tunnel

Just added Steeriods to my LSX 418cid VETTE.

My 1st LS1 motor went in 2005..blew it up in 2008. My LS3 stroker has been in place since 2008... 08 LS3 block built by Texas Speed. I may have about 4000 miles on it. Oh Yeah I can run 10s and drive to the track...Drive anywhere really.

gator79

not a whole lot of interest on the C2 forum but here is my LS1/ T56 swap into my 64

I have got some good info from this thread and if my 71 was not an original big block car it would have a LS3

fleming23

Because I have A/C mounted high on the pass. side, I put my Elite Engineering catch can on the radiator support. There is enough room next to the radiator to mount it, although unscrewing the can is a bit more effort.

Moderators, wasn't this one of those sticky threads at the top?

It sure warrants being one if not. what a WEALTH of information!

I see a book(s) that could be written JUST from the tech presented in this thread.

Moving this Thread here , basically killed the best Thread on here.

Garys 68

And don't forget the "LS directory" which can barely be found now....and would give ever LS related question asked in the past few years a person to direct it to.
