I ordered the "stock" location plates for my c10 swap. Once installed it moved the trans about an inch or so forward. I ended up having to order 1 inch set back plates to get it right...

The ones I have on there now are transdapt. It was a mf'er to get the bolt in. I ordered a set of set back plates off eBay this time. Hoping to put them in this week. Ill let you know how they fit.

The long bolt that goes through the rubber mount and upper mount, when I went to bolt it in there was about a 1 inch off set from it line up. Had to pry the rubber to get the bolt in..

if you notice on a SBC vs the Gen III/IV/V engine. The missing 1" is due to the rear bell housing flange.. due to the new cars engine bay being smaller.. GM shorten that area so they could fit them into a more compact engine bay.
That is about it for why you move the engine back 1" to meet up with the stock location of a older cars transmission flange location. (or trans up 1").
There is no one reason to use one plate location or another location IMO.. just move it where it works best..

Yes.. that is a taken if you move it.. I should have stated that. I think I stated some of the same in aonther recent post out there a both plates.... .
Neither of my swap (chevelle or nova) are in any standard or 1" setback locations. Both are have either modified frame stand location or plates engine location changes. Drive Shaft are custom.

I used carshop 1" set backs on my 67 camaro and my th400 fell right into factory location on the xmember. I realize it is a different car but as others have said, 1 inch back plates are designed to put the rear of the ls engine in same location as if it were a sbc.
