1968-1972 Chevrolet El Camino - LS Swap

Initially, the El Camino was optioned and sold as a utilitarian vehicle, capable of working while being more forgiving on the road. By the time the 3rd Generation El Camino rolled around, GM came clean with the El Camino being a Chevelle with a bed on it. That meant every Chevelle engine was available in the El Camino, including the 454 cubic inch LS6. If you are after a more modern powerplant, our engine swap systems make dropping in a Gen III/IV LS engine a bolt-in affair.

Step 1: Engine and Transmission Mounts

  • Choose from Engine Mounts that Move the Engine Slightly Forward, or Standard Mounts w/ the Bellhousing in the Same Location as the Standard Small Block
  • The Forward Mounts Are Best for Late Model Transmissions Since this Minimized Modifications to the Transmission Tunnel
  • The Standard Mounts are Best for Classic Transmissions Since the Driveshaft Can Remain Stock & They Fit Fine inside the Transmission Tunnel
  • These Mounts Fit all GM LS Engines in the 1968-1972 GM A-Body
  • Compatible with Swap Headers, Exhaust Systems, and Swap Oil Pans
