I am getting stuff together for my 69 Chevelle. I have looked and looked and the best way to go seems to be the Dirty Dingo oil pan and mounts. Not cheap and the mounts are solid but if they will both bolt up with no problems and clear everything I am in!

I use S&P on my 67 Chevelle and they are pretty pricey but they fit nice on my car. I also use them on mine 70 Chevelle bit if you have and F-body pan it only cost you $250 to Mod it. and the Motor plate is $97

LH8 oil pan direct form Chevrolet (you must use the pickup as well) and a set of BRP mounts. I had to modify my trans tunnel a little bit to clear the 4L65E transmission. BRP will tell you that there is no need to modify but I can tell you there is modiffication that needs to be done. I also used Hooker headers and they fit nice. The frame mounts that I used are from a 68-72.
Hope that helps.

You can also make your own frame mounts very easily and use the factory F-body engine motor mounts and put the engine in where you want it exactly. I used the S&P modified oil pan 285$ exchange. There are many other oil pans available. The new lsx retro oil pan a new sponsor on here has a nice unit it appears but none have the recesses that the oem f-body pan has at the very front corners which help with steering link clearance on the A-bodies. Good Luck with your build.
