    Ls swap mounts, oil pan combo

    Notch for LS1 pan

    I know Ive seen it before but cant remember where and I cant seem to find it. I know to fit an LS1 pan in a gbody the frame has to be notched, I would like to know if anybody actually measured what they cut off, and if anybody thinks it might weaken the already almost 40yr old frame at all?

    350 to 200r4 swap

    I have a friend parting out an elcamino. I'm want the 200r4. I'm sure if I grab the Trans and cross member that'll work but what about the drive shaft. Will the drive shaft work from an elcamino to a Malibu? And is there anything else other than the shifter I'll should take for the swap?
