Default Pics of PCM mounting

Wondering if anyone has pics of what mount your using to mount your PCM in your LS1 based swaps. I'm trying to find a good way to mount mine in my 70 camaro. Thanks for any ideas anyone has.

I don't have a pic for you but in my Cutlass "A" body I have it mounted behind the gloove box, connectors down. I have some small bolts down thru the cowell accessable with the screen off. These bolts secure the plastic PCM holder in place. My donor was a 02 TA. Not sure if there is similar room available in your Camaro.

Behind the dash/ glovebox area seems common. If you don't already have one, finding a factory ECM holder and mounting it works well, then the ECM just snaps in.

By the way, does anyone have a spare mounting bracket for sale. My engine didn't come with one and I'm having a suprisingly hard time finding one here in Boise. I can't even locate one on E-bay of all places

Some metal stock from the local ace hardware and a sheet metal brake and I made my own. Secured on the bottom with some rubber for shock absorption and some industrial Velcro on one side to hold it to the bracket.

On and it located in between the dash and firewall...

Mine is also inside the drivers fender:

The S10 PCM mount works great and only cost about $10. That's what you see in my pictures.

I put mine where the CD player was...I will make a plate to cover it that will hold the Trans temp gauge on the far left.
