Default 1st Gen motor mount question

I am slowly getting parts together to do an LS3 conversion in my 67 Camaro. I want to relocate the coils to behind the head and am trying to figure out who's motor mounts will move the engine far enough forward to give room for the coil relocation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the Dirty Dingo, They are adjustable or the Holley Adapters, they have a pretty good selection. from .50" to 3.0" forward.

I did see the Hooker/Holley adapters, and was unsure how far I actually needed to move the engine forward without having oil pan interference or other issues. Thanks for the quick response.

Lets just say the more you move forward, the more chances are your pan will come into contact with the Crossmember.. If you do go with the more forward mounts, ie. the Holley 1.25" forward, I suggest you use the Holley pan as that has a very small lower/rear sump to get a lot of room for the crossmemeber and steering. But i would think there 1.25" forward plate should give you enough room.

Just an opinion.
