Well , my only real doubt is the notching of the frame but once I test fit the engine with accessories I will know where to notch the frame . Or maybe a relocation kit . I will be running a carburetor and no opti spark which is junk. The lt1 is coming out of a 94 Camaro z28 making room for a 496 on that maro but that is another story , another project. IF anyone has done this swap please post up some pics .

Not for the oil pan but if I would keep the accessories in the stock location the frame would be in the way on the passenger side. But since last nite I actually followed a link provided to me and I can get a relocation kit for the accessories.
