a few ls1 s10 swap questions for a friend. he wants to know if the s&p bbody mounts would fit with a moroso 20140 oil pan will fit? i know it might be a longshot but ill give it a shot! also i hear people using stock manifolds what mods are needed? thanks. btw i did a search!
and btw by doing the swap does it move the whole motor/trans foward or backwards?

I'm in the middle of doing my 5.3 swap in my s10, im using car shop inc mounts and the stock truck pan, i did have to notch the crossmember but i made the decision to do that instead of spend 180+ on an h3 alpha pan that clears the crossmember with no cut, they both hang an inch or so below the crossmember so i just simply didnt see the point unless you have no access to a welder. LIke i said im using the carshop inc mounts and the motor/tranny is set as far back as possible in the mounts. If you check out my thread on here "My 95 S10 Nitrious 5.3 Drag Truck project...." you'll see everything i've done throughout the build...

Yea, manifolds are the 98-99 f-body ones, you have to cut the flanges off, and add some extention pipe between the manifold and re weld on the flange or sometype of exhaust flange, i'll take more pics of mine whenever i get them all welded up.
