For those wanting/needing to use Camaro Style front accessories because of hood clearance issues, or to make room for some turbos, etc. I have put together a list of part numbers, etc. Will maybe even through a few picts in to show what the part looks like next to the number, so that it is easier to figure out, if you are not used to doing this type of stuff...

i had to do a ton of research and looking stuff up, to get the list, I have seen one for corvette, but for those, like me who dont like that style and need the room up top

if you are using an iron truck block, you will need to drill and tap the hole for the front alternator bracket and alternator to bolt onto the block (the aluminum block should have this already)...

I used the following, which came with the right bit and tap (for stock bolts)...

the top hole is the one that was done

and the alt mocked up before cleaning and painting it

the rear bracket hole is already there and works perfect, with the alt

this is what alt looks like cleaned up a little...

Thanks for all the part numbers thats awesome!!! I actually have a line on an LS1 from a 99? Trans Am I was hoping to pull the trigger on. What do you guys think of using a 700r4 behind one?

if built right, you will be fine, they are great transmissions, I have a built b&m, wont be able to use it for long though (only supports up to 700hp), change all the plastic stuff to metal and change the clutch pack (put the kit in that has more clutches in 3rd/4th, and one piece sun shell? (or what ever its called), tci constant pressure valve body... etc. I love them if built up right, some people have bad luck with them...

a better option (if you need something stronger) would be a 4l80e (can support up to 1200hp, if built right), you can get a kit to make it a manual shift, if you dont want the computer stuff... all depends on how much hp/tq you will end up with and what you are building the car for...

I second that - the 700 will be fine if it is fresh and built strong. I am fully expecting my new one to take 500 hp/ 500 tq. I have an auxiliary trans cooler so that helps.

The problem with the 4L80E is threefold: 1. It is a massively large unit that physically will not fit in the tunnel of some cars. 2. Related to #1 is -it is very heavy and takes power to spin it. 3. Requires a computer to operate normally.

4L80s will fit in G bodies. My buddy that's building a TT 6.0 Monte has a 6L80 in his and that trans is huge.

It may take more power to spin but a stock 80 will handle more then a pretty decently built 200, 700, 60e etc. I wish I went with an 80 after all the money I spent on a converter, getting the trans built, and rebuilt. You have to use a different driveshaft with a 700/60e anyways.

They have standalone trans controller kits out too.

I went ahead and got a 4l60e from a local trans builder..after i ran the numbers it is a 2004 4l65e, according to a guy i talked to about a t56 said that 4l65 built right it should hold up just fine.. My ls1 came out of a auto trans equipped car and that should work just fine. My trans supposedly has some performance upgrades after the rebuild.
