THere are quite a number of folks making mounts, and there are quite a few people on the site here doing GM A Body swaps, including GTOs. You may have to change your frame mounts to the Chevelle version. Read the Stickys at the top of the page. There is info on mounts in there. Companies that sell them include Street & Performance (www.hotrodlane.cc) Hooker, Transdapt, and several others. There are also adapter plates for sale on EBay that match the S&P mounts for about 1/2 the price. Also use the search feature to search for GTO and Chevelle. Lots of good info already here on the site. Good luck

The other manufactor of LS1 swap kits is BRP (brphotrod.com). Either of the S&P or BRP style mounts can be built with hand tools (drill, grinder, etc) as I and many othere have with 1/4" steel.
You can either buy the mount and x-member or built it youself. Just search for the A-Body swap for information.
Have fun.

note : this should not be called a swap, it is not a swap. calling it a swap is misleading with what is involved.
good luck

Are the websites the same for wiring kits and computers? [QUOTE The other manufactor of LS1 swap kits is BRP (brphotrod.com). ] [QUOTE Companies that sell them include Street & Performance (www.hotrodlane.cc) Hooker, Transdapt, and several others. ]
