I made a couple 1/4" aluminum plates between the adapter plates and poly mounts.
GTO manifolds didnt fit, so I'll try some f body manifolds if I can get them cheap. I'm a little worried the passenger side will hit the firewall. I think most of the f body manifolds in A body cars use plates that move the engine forward.

I went with the GMPP muscle car pan kit, which I think is a H3 pan with a different part number. IDK? Anyway, im not worried about the pan clearance hanging below the chassis cross member, I will probably never lower the car anyway, I still like the old school "Muscle" look. Stock ride. I may have to get the pan sectioned for the steering knuckles though.

On a side note I did end up ordering the Edelbrock Vr Jr, MSD 6010, to go ahead and swap it over to carb. I still cant get away from those carbs you know... Besides, the LSx with a carb looks mean!

Under the hood:
F body exhaust manifolds:
And I moved the z bar mount back to the position on the bell housing to make sure there would be plenty of clearance for the exhaust.
And there's a perfect flat spot on the fender well to mount the S10 bracket for the ecu.
And all connections are with weatherpack connectors.

Driveline angles.
I was a little worried with the engine being raised up that driveline angles would be off. But engine/trans is down 3 degrees, diff is up just shy of 3 degrees. And in spite of the way it looks, the driveshaft angle is only 5 degrees down. Probably closer than the factory set it.
So if there's no vibration, I'm leaving it.
