Default Dirty Dingo motor mounts for A body swap, thoughts? Also have accsry question

Has anyone used these for a 68-71 Abody swap? If so, would you recomend them?

Also, I have an LQ4 shortblock with L92 heads with truck crank pulley and water pump, that's it. No idler, no alt bracket etc. I've also got a carb intake so tb clearance isn't an issue. I'm not running a/c or a power steering pump, should I just run the smokinhawk alt. setup??? I've read the alt. hits frame with the F-body setup. Suggestions welcome!!

I used them in my F-Body 2nd gen and was very pleased with the fit and the quality.

They are okay but ultimately not a must-have. The main parts look good but so far two of the bolts that came with mine have broken. That being the case I doubt I'll use them again for my next swap.

I used them for my 70 Monte and they seemed to work better than the BRP mounts I had originally. These mounts allowed me to push the engine closer to the firewall, BRP mounts didn't.

My son has the BRP mounts on his '79 Camino. They fit well. With the urethane bushings on the BRP mounts, he feels he is getting more vibration from the motor than he expected. One of the reasons I chose the Dirty Dingo adapters was that I could use the factory motor mounts with the rubber bushings.
