Default motor mount recommendation for 1980 Z28
I would like to put in a 5.3L into my 80. What mounts work good and what ones would you stay away from? Any oil pan recommendations while i am thinking about it?

For the mounts I went with stock replacement bolted on the 1" setback plates from carshop. For the oil pan I would go with the fbody, mine went in perfectly when I dropped it on the subframe.

I have a pair of the setbacks that I'd sell you. PM me if you're interested.
