I remember ports being in the back on the CTS - Trying to see if we can make this work in a 68 Camaro Convertible with a roadster chassis … Thanks in advance ! Also the drive system because the A/C condenser might bus the frame like it did with my Ds subframe

I've seen several first gens with the CTSv lid/engine, so they can fit. If you use the slider engine mounts you get about 2" of front to back adjustability, I'm sure you can set the engine in a place that clears the hoses in back.

I believe the Holley mounts are all the way forward, used those on a buddies LSA swap and gave lots of room at the firewall side. I used the sliders to get the motor as far back as would work for mine. What exactly are you talking about at the rear of the LT4? I thought all of them had the water lines/manifold up front CTS V or not.
