Re: Which manual tranny did you choose for your LS swap?

Hope this helps!
Great pics, very helpful, thanks! Did you move the stock crossmember back at all? Or did the engine move forward? Maybe it is different for a 67, but my stock crossmember sits right under the bellhousing.

Also, is that the OEM truck oil pan on your LQ? Any clearance issues with it?
