LS1 engine + t56 gearbox in camaro z28
Hi.
I have read the *** about engine swap. but i have some other questions. How have you did with the center console for the shifter? can i use the original headers on the ls1 or do i need other headers? is their someone who have links where i can find/ buy parts for this swap?

You will be able to use your original center console with the swap. LS1 headers will not work as you will see when you read through other peoples build threads. Hawks sells headers that are a direct bolt in, but they are pricey. Another option would be to make your own. I found a lot of my parts for my build on ls1tech and ebay. Just be patient and make a list of everything that you need and start buying. Unless you have or find a complete drop out. I read through build threads on here for months before I started my swap. Made things a lot easier. There is a lot of great information on here and also a lot of experienced people willing to provide helpful info. Good Luck!

If you are using a T56 trans, then yes. The Hawks headers are made by Stainless Works and fit perfect.
350 headers would not work.

Re: LS1 engine + t56 gearbox in camaro z28
Not sure. I'm using the crossmember from Hawks. Spohn also makes one. Are you using your stock kmember or aftermarket? If using stock, you will need to notch it to fit the oil pan. You will see pics and a better description in the build threads.
