just your simple 6.0 build with the good stuff and ls3 heads

motor just went it tonight. sits about an inch forward and high, as you can see by the elbow....so my question, anyone notice the motor sitting higher with prothane mounts and does anyone have good pics of the proper orientation of the ls motor mounts....this is all new to me.

I used some Conversion Mounts with mine on the LT1 K-member, and mine sits about 1/4" high, 3/4" back toward the rear.

There are some pics of the mouns in my thread here..
