So my Trans dapt motor mounts don't fit at all. Poor fitment and the brackets were welded crooked and warped. All the way to the edge of the slot and the h3 oil pan is about 1/16 from the member. So I'm going to cut up the mounts and see how it fits. Wtf is everyone doing for exhaust manifolds/headers? Buying the s10 swap headers? I tried to use GTO manis but no go.

BRP headers and mount kit fit very nicely, plus the long tube headers all fit inside the frame rails. I also used the Holley pan since does not hang below the crossmember, I posted a few pictures awhile back on here.

I've heard of other ppl having problems with the trans dapt mounts. Same issue. Like a lot of ppl here, I'm running CPW mounts. Car shop shorties with v-bands, bought them used, and I'm running a h3 pan. Setup on the truck is 5.3L/th400, 8.8", twin 67's. Still in the building stages.

F-body manifolds with v-bands welded on or current performance shorties.

Take a look at that sticky on the S10 Forums lsx site. It should answer most of your questions.
