hey everyone, ive been on nico for a while but only on the z32 n z33 forums. i recently sold one of my z32s so i could use my s13 as a drift chassis with an ls1. i have purchased a 99 ls1 with t56 n it came with harness ecu and camaro pedals, i have also purchased gto oil pan, hooker header engine mounts with creative steel solid corvette c5 mounts and prothane transmission mount bushing. i know i have to notch/reinforce the engine crossmember to use this oil pan, getting it in wont be a problem.. the part i am next to clueless about is what to do with the pedals?!? the s13 was an auto n i dont know if im suposed to use the camaro pedals or 5speed s13 pedals? i also dont know how to hook everything up so it actually works lol :facepalm: id like somebody who has done the swap to shed some light on whats needed with pedals ecu n harness to get everything to work if possible.. thank you in advance to anyone willing to help!!!

I did this swap about 7 years ago first using a TH350 then to a T56. I dont know why your concerned with pedal, you can use the OEM pedals. All you have to do is make a throttle cable bracket ( you can now buy these too). For the master cylinder you want to use an aftermarket. When I swapped to T56 I used the Daft Innovations CMC kit and line. You will need to trim the ears off the transmission and smash that tunnel. IF you o not take the ears off you will hear the engines rotation in the cab of the car and it sucks. If you can fab you can make your own mounts, I like what I see there. I would also look into the Holden Monero oil pan baffles that are not supplied with the GTO pans.... and New Mexico.... yea your gonna wanna do what I did when it came to cooling it .
