Default LS1 into a 87 FOX BODY!!! NEED HELP!

I am pulling the motor out of a 87 fox body and dropping my spare LS1 into it. I need to find out what I need to get to mate the engine to the frame (are there any kits? motor mount stuff?) also I need information on bolting my LS1 to a World class Tremec 5 transmission. I imagine they make a bellhousing to mate a t5 to a chevy motor but i need to know where i can get these parts and if anyone has any insight to help this process out a little. THANKS!

AJE Racing makes a bolt in K Member for a Fox to LS1 conversion. Comes with motor mounts and everything fits nice.

if its a borgwarner T5 ford trans i dont think it will work.

if its a tremec 3550/TKO etc than you can make it work with a kiesler bellhousing or others but im not sure about the clutch disc.


good luck.
