Re: Joe Sapp (JHS's) 1971 SS 454 Chevelle
[ QUOTE ]
Before you installed the motor did you remove the pan and inspect the clearances or did you just drop it in? Mark Sheppard [/ QUOTE ] The pan had to be changed to a conventional style pan, as did the water pump. The pan that came with the motor was deeper towards the rear of the engine so would not clear the front cross-member; the water pump was changed from a short-leg to long-leg style to match the stock pulley system. The only other problem was the distributor, had to be rotated 90deg and re-wired so it would clear the firewall.

Re: Joe Sapp (JHS's) 1971 SS 454 Chevelle
Joe, Excellent choice putting the ZL-1 engine in your Chevelle. When I purchased my Chevelle I also wanted to upgrade the engine. Back in 1988, my local Chevy Dealer gave me only two choices. A LS-6 or a LS-7. I chose the LS-6 because it was more streetable. Enjoy your Chevelle, it's looks great and must be fast as hell.
