Exclamation frame mounts for ls conv. In 1st gen camaro

Put a 6.0 in my 68 camaro with stock frame mounts & ccp adaptor plates for motor mounts. Well it's not working out & the oil pan is too close to steering arms. Does someone sell frame mounts that will put my 6.0 close to original place? The way I have it right now, I had to modify my cross member & going to have a driveline made.
Some solid info would help!
Thanks

What oil pan and transmission are you using ?.. the 1st Gen F-Body are a problem with oil pans and steering. Many have had to go to aftermarket or modified pans. There is a new Retro-lsx.com pan on the market as well as kits that Shawn is marketing.. He is also on the forum here.. he most likely will ping in or you can PM him.

If your using plates.. are they the the standard plates or 1" setback ?

It's a stock truck pan & my trannys a muncie. It's not the pan and trans, it's the motor that sits too far foward. If no one sells anything, I'll just have my bud make me some frame mounts. There has to be someone that sells something that corrects this prob.
