LSx Parts List for 2nd Gen

[mc73nova]

I'm not sure what section to use because it pertains to almost all of them.

This is for the Firebird build I have in the Restoration section. I started the list but I want to know what else I need and where is the best place to find parts for this. Is there a kit specifically for 2nd gens? I did some research but there are a lot of parts and I don't want to miss anything.

Engine/Trans/Wiring/Pedals will be purchased together.

Engine Mounts
Headers

Please don't comment saying to put a different engine or ask why an LS. This is what he wants and I just want this thread to be a good reference for when we purchase everything.

Thanks in advance.

The only pedal that matters is the gas pedal if you go DBW. If you go cable you can use stock 2nd gen pedals.

Cross member - lots of options out there, including modifying your own

Also lots of mounts out there. Good reports form the edelbrock mount/header kit for 2nd gens. Some guys use stuff made by BRP but I'm not impressed with their stuff. Some of this comes down to how much you want to spend.

I've read more about 1st gens, and for those a lot comes down to matching headers & mounts. Some headers fit great if you use mt 1 but not with mt 2, but another set of headers is the other way. However 2nd gens move the steering box in front of the engine so I think that alleviates some of the issues.

I still think the most difficult part is a good fuel system that doesn't choke on exit ramps under 1/4 tank.

I didn't use any of BRP's LS1 stuff, but their shock relo kit fit "OK". I'd give it a 8 out of 10.
