Looking for a set of motor plates that will place my LS1 the closest to the firewall in my 70 Camaro. I will have a t56 and no ac. I want the most room bc the car will be either a large single or twin turbo. Exhaust will not be a factor either.

S&W Race Cars makes a nice 2 piece motor plate,and i got my mid plate from Competition Engineering.

Haha, I guess I worded that wrong. Looking for the adapter plates to mount with clamshell motor mounts, although I wouldn't be opposed to a motor plate.

I used carshop set-back plates on my 78 camaro, they work with clamshell mounts and fit perfect!

Look up "dirty Dingo" on ebay, i bought there 2" back 1" forward slider mounts, good price, great craftmanship!

Will these get me right up to the firewall, or will there still be some space?

No problem!^^ my plan is to set mine back as far as possible, to give me more room for the turbo plumbing.

and its only a 2 inch difference, worst case scenario, ill be using my TH350 transmission, and if its moved back an exact 2"'s, then ill just get a crossmember for my car with a 700r4, because they are 2"'s longer than a TH350, so that will make up the difference.

idk man, i havent tried them yet, or know anyone who has, but you can go as far back as you want, but remember, everything else moves too, transmission, driveshaft, will header clearance be an issue? idk. just things to consider, stuff ive thought about for mine.
