I made my own.Stock LS1 mounts on the motor. Flat plate with a u shaped piece welded to it. U shaped piece had a hole in each upright leg the LS1 mount fits inside the U shaped and a bolt runs thru one side of the U then thru the mount and out the other side of the U.The flat plate is bolted to the stock k member. I first ordered the trans-dapt mounts from summit and they were way off so I sent them back and made my own.

I dont know the application for the rad hose. That was a coat hanger and a few trips to the part store to figure the hose out. Its a Gates part # 20893. Headers are 3/8" stainless Dynatech flanges, Headman 3" collectors and a box full of 1 5/8" mandrel
J-bends from summit cut, fit, welded and wrapped by me and a couple friends.
culhan9 you are right i enjoyed driving this car for what little time it has been on the road.

Did you use the truck oil pan? Or did you swap for the ls1 pan? Was the converter custom to work with the lsx motor, or could a stock converter be used?
Thanks
Thanks

you gotta get some IROC wheels narrowed in the front and run around with skinnies on the front and drag radials. it would be such a sleeper, nobody expects third gens to be quick, expecialy if they are loud and ratty looking. even though your car isnt ratty looking id think someone just stuck a big cam in a gen one motor in there, would never expect it to be a LSx. great looking car btw
