MC1of80 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 oil pan kits are sold to fit the chassis without cutting the cross member. Also kits are sold to relocate the a/c compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 PLEASE give us more information. Did you read the replies in your LS3 thread? GM put the LS2 into more than half a dozen different vehicles, which one was your engine out of? I don't think any stock LS2 pans will fit right, the Holley pans and the stock F-body LS1 pan should fit great in a Monte Carlo. Make sure you get the right adapter to mate the LS2 to a TH350, you need to space the flex plate out for the torque converter. https://www.ictbillet.com/swap-guide/ls-swap-guide.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejw71 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 My LS2 came out of a Camaro. I think a 2005. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 You'll want to confirm what the engine is from for the wiring side of things, as there wasn't a Camaro in 2005 and no Camaro had an LS2. The oil pan information was posted above, and I'm pretty sure the crossmember will need to be notched if you want to run a low A/C compressor. I'm running truck accessories, which are the farthest away from the engine, and it looks like I'd still need to notch the crossmember to even run a small Sanden SD7. You could run a compressor high on the passenger's side with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejw71 Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 I guess this LS2 came from a Cadillac. Ebay sellers will say anything. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast frank Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi, just purchased a 70 monte no motor or trans. I would like to install a LS motor/trans. Would like to know which would be the best donor vehicle regarding front accessories clearing the front cross member, I will be running ac. Who makes the relocation brackets to relocate the ac compressor? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 With the crossmember sitting farther forward than on a Chevelle, I would recommend truck accessories. Relocation brackets can be found from Holley, Dirty Dingo, ICT Billet, Alan Grove Components, and quite a few others. Some of it depends on which compressor you want to run and where you want to run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast frank Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ended up purchasing an eng/trans combo out of a 2006 gto. I am going to purchase the holley oil pan 302-2, I will also replace the oil pump, timing chain, water pump, front and rear engine seals, and sensors, before I install the eng., is there anything I am missing for this part of the project?

The coolest thing about an LS swap is money recovery. You can get more $ out of that pan, dipstick, pickup, and windage tray than you paid for that Holley. It is required for a first gen Nova swap. Pretty sure the only GM LS swap that there is no aftermarket pan for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast frank Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Thanks Andy, I will advertise it after I do the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
