what mounts for LQ4 swap into 88 monte ss
what mounts do i need to use for the most clearance for swapping an LQ4 into my 88 monte ss? im going to be using the truck front accessories and oil pan and the hedman long tube headers for an 82-88 g-body, ive heard i should use the 1" setback mounts but id like to hear from somebody with first-hand experience, so if youre running a LS in a g-body with hedman longtubes and truck front accessories let me know what youre running for mounts, thanks

ls mounts
What's up... I used the 1inch set back mounts on mine also I have the cts-v pan and I'm running a f-body front fead. The truck coils hit the a/c box but I'm modding the box so I have more room.Hope that helps...

Setbacks to use original trans. Setbacks clear cts-v pan nicely and they just barely clear fbody pan.
Far as I know those headers you plan to use won't work with the setbacks. I believe they do work with the non setback plates. You would need to pull the truck power steering pulley and press on a smaller one to clear power steering pump with the non setbacks.

Some bang on a tube to clear frame etc.
One guy in gbody swap thread cut the tubes at the flange almost halfway through. Then pull the headers away from the frame, then weld them back up. Looked like it gave nice clearance without banging on the headers. Driver side slides right in, think someone said they had issues with driver side though if you have column shifter.
