Is it going in a Camaro? If so the stock style is what you need, I'd upgrade to the polys though. Ls1 and all other lsx motors have the same bolt pattern for mounts.

Stock clam shells won't work, you'll need an adaptor motor mount, like sbc to ls1 style

Take a look at the stickies for more specific information, or search using "f-body motor mount adapters" you should find what you are looking for.
