Arrow need photos of LS motor and Porterbuilt dropmember!!

I have been having issues fitting my LY5 into my 66. Can all of you who have done an LS swap with a porterbuilt dropemember please post as many pics as possible on the motor mounts, firewall clearance and any additional information that would pertain to this.

I have done the high hump conversion and so far it seems worthless as I have had to cut the whole top of the hump out to clear for 4l60e.

thanks

Kris

In my 77 I had to clearance where the firewall meets the hump, not much, but had to be done. I know these are different firewalls, but I don't think you really have a choice with the LS Swap.

Not sure if that helps, just my .02

Do you have any pictures of it mocked up? What angle are you trying set the tranny at?
