I used the Prothane equivalent to that mount, which is the 7-1604 part number. Even though they are both listed to replace the same OE rubber mount, the Prothane is the same height as that mount but the Energy Suspension part is taller so I didn't use it. If you use the Energy Suspension part you will probably have interference between the trans case and the tunnel sheet metal.

Just a quick update...still have not received headers or oil pan. Headers were supposed to ship last Friday as of my conversation with Summit two weeks ago. That milestone came and went. No update on the oil pan. If I do not see any progress within the next week then I will be selling the swap kit for those interested. It's no good to me without the pan and headers.
Thanks,
Dave

How do you size the rear exhaust od? Is there a point when you need the 3" over the 2-1/2" version?
Also I'm I understanding this right, for a SS, you need an additional piece for the rear exit (42804/5)?

When people act like self-entitled keyboard cowboy tough guys I have a tendency to call them on it. Your response above indicates that you can identify with, and were subsequently offended by, the call out because you share a similar mindset with BanditDave.
Birds of a feather.

Yes, the Monte Carlo tailpipe kits are an option that are purchased separately.

When you say self-entitled, can you explain a little better? The reason I am selling the car is because I am getting ready to move anyway and was planning on getting a car for my wife which is actually happening today most likely.
I ordered everything around thanksgiving and dates have been missed non-stop and summit took a significant amount of money from me. I am not a rich man by any means and work very hard for every dime I make.
I am updating folks on what they can expect. I was told three weeks ago the headers will ship last Friday....now it's this Friday. The oil pan is still on back order and is supposed to be at Summit next week.
Since it sounds like you don't understand the words you use in the sentences you type, self entitlement has to do with believing you deserve things you did not rightfully earn. Since I paid over $1100 for headers and an oil pan I was told I would get in early December...and more importantly, would not be charged until they shipped, my beef is with Summit Racing and the fact they took my money contrary to what was written on their website and a more overarching issue with people today who feel it is acceptable to just blow by dates with no consequences. Since I barely have time to work on the car as it is and am going to school at night for an advanced degree, I do not see the point in holding on to the car any longer.
Is that a good enough explanation for you? Go back to your mom's basement and keep your comments to yourself. I want people to realize that this is quality stuff but because it is an integrated system, you need every piece of the puzzle and you may have to wait a longer time than advertised.

Since both the 4th-gen F-body pan and the Holley 302-2 pan require the use of a 3/4 length windage tray it's a toss-up between the two of which would provide the best/easiest accommodation of a 4" stroke crank...the F-body pan would require notching of the crossmember to use and the Holley 302-2 pan requires an extremely small pop-out section to be added to the bottom center of the pan to clear the rods on the front crank throw. I've already seen pictures of someone who's done the mod to the Holley pan and it's a piece of cake in my opinion. I guess it could come down to whether you like fabricating in steel or aluminum.
That Autokraft pan may just work as the front of the Holley 302-2 pan is 1.25" tall and there is approximately 3/4" between the pan and the crossmember.

The photos previously mentioned were forwarded to me by a Holley Tech Service employee about a year ago and I'll have to do some detective work to identify who it was again.let me see what I can do.

FWIW the guy has every right to be pissed, he's been lied to.
My guess is that the stuff was made in china, and is held up in the labor disagreement at the ports of long beach, and la.

Plus Summit took his money already like i said before should not be allowed if the parts did not ship and i think waiting weeks in more than patient new parts or not. Also i dont think these parts are considered Special order and it does not state that it's just the fact they are not ready from wherever they are coming from!
