Oil Pan C3 LS1 swap problems
Today I dropped an LS1 in my 76, and it's not clearing the power steering cylinder. It is the stock steering cylinder with a F-body Pan. I don't really want to go aftermarket based on cost; can any of you LS1 swap veterans help me out? It only hits when the wheels have been turned all the way to the right or left.

What brackets do you have? I know of one manufacturer that requires the use a CTS-V pan with stock power steering. Can't recall the name off hand.

Brackets
Ultimately the motor mount adapters were the issue. If you are going to keep the stock steering cylinder you need the mounting plates that push the engine back 1" this allows the steering cylinder to clear barely. I am using a F-Body pan.
