Gavin-no such thing as a "small block" frame. There is a web site, camaros.org that will give you the education (without tuition) you need so that you may learn what will give you an accurate restoration.

(rear)crossmember- as in the piece that unbolts from the rear of the subframe and holds up the transmission.
Good luck

Thanks again for your help. I will order a set of 67-68 frame and engine mounts and then progress through the other required parts.

From the advice I think I need to take a closer look at the oil pan. From what I can make out there should be no difference between a 427 L72 and a 396 L78 oil pan? Unless the oil pan has been modified......would anyone know of any common modification which would affect the clearance of the oil pan to the cross member?

Regards Gavin

AFAIK this is the oil pan you should be using - BB Camaro. Does yours look like this? Or does it look like the one below?

Thanks Lee, from what I can see the oil pan I have looks like the first image. But the drain plug on mine is at the back. I suspect it had been moved as when it was stripped it had been brazed in the new position

1967 396 Camaro SS with 4 speed

That's a small block cross member installed backwards

Is that right? Oops!

How about this one - supposed to be an L78 396 4 speed in a 1968 Camaro:

Second set of photos is mounted ok.

Hello here is some images. I think in comparison to the images posted the oil pan might be over sized?
