Default LS2 engine

objective is to install a LS2 engine into a '66 smallblock car with a Tremec 5 speed trans. The water pump interferes with uppr A arm. also oil pan touches the steering stablizer. Anyone with experience installing LS2 into a C2?

There is a bunch of information in C3. Might not help with the stabilizer, but the chassis design is basically the same, the a-arms didn't move.

I had my 65 done, but used a Street Shops chassis, which had a mustang type rack and pinion. The water mump need the heater hose fittings pluged and moved to the top to get away from the interference. Here is my project thread - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1590723

Street Shops modified the water pump for us. Good luch with your project. Tim
