How about a look at Greg Cragg's LSX El Camino and the Ridetech suspension install part 1 http://hotrodregal.com/lsx-el-camino-riding-ridetech/

Dunno if this counts as a G-body LSX swap part, but its definitely a G-body swap part that we can make work! How about using an Ididit Inc. floor shift column in a G-body?... (click link for article and pics) http://hotrodregal.com/ididit-universal-g-body-steering-column/

80Abody, A great place to start would to be checking out Joe Hinds book - GM G-body Performance Upgrades 1978-1988. I also have been swapping a 6.0L in a 82 Regal, helped with a 4.8 in a Elky, and a Mast 440 in the LSX ELCamino, all of which used the BRP motor mounts... we have used other parts...

I have posted several updates to this forum for my 82 Regal build, but its usually in the LSX swap database or under LSX El Camino. I will keep this post updated as I complete the work on the Hot Rod Regal project located on my website www.HotRodRegal.com To get started, here is a recent post...

we took the LS swap Ultimate Headers for the G-body - built the Flowmaster Stainless Steel exhausts around those - made everything fit nice and tight on the LSX El Camino and the Hot Rod Regal... Then we took everything to NitroPlate for ceramic coating...

I am pretty sure you have seen my post axld86. but the part#'s for the upper and lower radiator hoses are in the "plumbing to Be Cool" post. also C&R Racing Steam vent kit post. The splice I use in the upper radiator hose for the steam vent works because it is a slightly lower pressure in the...

Thanks for posting a link to my website axld86! The combo I have is 18x8 and 19x10 forgeline GA3 wheels. Backspacing is something that is specific to your car. For example, I am using a Moser 9" axle made for the G-body, it may sit differently than the Gm 7.5 or 8.5 rear axle in relation to...
