No offense...but you do know they sit further back than the stock mounts right??? You will only get like 3 bolts in, and the 4th you will have to drill. And I think that was only one side. Also, its not hard to put them in oriented in the wrong direction.

Here is a picture of mine... The notch is the a/c notch in the front of the crossmember. I only remember having to drill one or two holes...the rest bolted right up.

the two front holes in the mount line up with the two rear holes of the Kmember.

the front Kmember SBC mount holes are not used.

one of the rear holes lines up with a previously unused Kmember hole.



because of this, you cannot use the spohn mounts on a non-stock kmember..

Haha..damn lunch tray. Got my blood pressure up for a second there until I realized who it was. I dont know everything by far... Just hoping to help someone else out along the way.

When are you gonna check the car out?? I promise after your first ride you are gonna need to mod your car...

You had a V6 RS...rode in my TPI car...wanted a TPI. Now you have a stock LS1 car..and you'll ride in my modded LS1 car...and you want to mod. Its only logical. haha.

Wnts2Go10O: Let us know how you make out with the mounts. If you are still have issues, snap a quick picture so we can see whats going on.

Mr.Dudes description was spot on from what I can remember.
