I've got a 70 nova that I'm putting a 2006 6.0 vortec motor in. I'm having the same problem with the oil pan touching the crossmember before the motor sits all the way down. What mounts did you use? Where did you get your 5 wire wiring? I was going to use the stainless full length headers from e-bay for $175.00. You can't beat the price if they will fit. Thanks, Carl

The muscle car show on spike did a LS2 in a old nova, if you can find the episodes like on itunes or some thing might give you ideas.
