Anyone done a LS swap in a first gen camaro with an power unisteer rack and pinion? If so what oil pan and headers were used.

Autokraft oil pan clears perfectly and the Speedtech headers work with a 2 joint steering shaft, give me a call.

Mine fit fine with the Autokraft pan, Edelbrock headers, and Edelbrock mounts. It drove so sweet down the road in comparison to the new box I took out, but the turning radius was awful no matter what steering arms I installed.

The Autokraft pan is a sheet metal piece isn't it? I was hoping to run a cast pan for more strength in the bottom of the motor. I didn't know if there was any chance in running the stock F-body pan. I rarely hear of anyone using one in stock form on a first gen Camaro or nova. I have a set of ATS mounts I started to install but the hit the alternator bracket on my LS2. I will try and turn them and see how it clears than and the motor fits in the engine bay.

im running an LS in my 69 camaro with a unisteer rack with a stock F body oil pan and stock subframe. I used 1" set back motor mount plates with stock small block frame pedestals but Im running manifolds from an 08 colorado. Dont know if this helps you. I will post a pic for you.:thumbsup:

I have a unisteer rack on my car. I have been very happy with it. My car has been together since 2004. I have put well over 30,000 miles on it. I made the motor mounts. It has an f body pan but has been modified. Good luck Eric
