95 s10 lq9 Iam doing an s10 lq9 swap i have a guestion i really need some advise motor mounts iam using are ajustable. I should try to center my motor in the frame right? I thought i should at least iam trying to. Is it very critical how i do this? Right now its a little over a 1/4 inch from being center. I am measuring center off inside of fram and off the front crank bolt. My mounts are cpw ill try to get pics up i have them on the camera but dont know how to put them up on this site. Thanks for the help
Current Performance has a set of poly mounts that work great. That's what I have on mine. I'm putting together the fuel system in my '96 right now. It would be easier if I had used the stock tank but I wanted a tank behind the axle for added weight at the rear. These trucks are notorious for not hooking even with caltrac bars and ET streets.

^^^This. So long as the trans is centered and is SQUARE, along w/correct driveshaft/pinion angles, you are good to go.
The mounts are different BECAUSE the frame is NOT symmetrical.
FWIW, Cal-Tracs have put Bobby Flippen's 1st gen in the 4's if I'm not mistaken. Something like a 1.13 60" time too. He runs sliders I believe, but there are PLENTY of folks running shackles and hooking S10's with Cal-Tracs, weight transfer, and simply dialing the set-up in. You cant just bolt them on and jerk the tires.
