Gbody mounts? Been looking at all the different mounts and plate setups for the swap but here is a question what mounts sit the lowest to the cradle? I know i need 1" of setback but i would like to keep it down as far as possible so i have more intake options with the stock GN hood! anyone know which mounts will do this i think the BRP's sit higher maybe the stock clamshell type with plates?

I used my clamshells and factory mounts and my hood clears with the truck intake.. but it is less than half an inch . I entertained using the early sbc pads on the block and make a pad similar to the solid mount frame pad and set it down even lower . You have to have a pan to give you the clearance or cut the frame down .

I plan on using a shallow pan maybe a aftermarket or CTSV type just wodering what combo of mounts sits the motor lowest. No frame cutting though!

What mounts did you use with the transdapt plates and how much clearance would you say there is? My firewall is shaved so no box to worry about!

I used the Dirty Dingo slider mounts for the G-body. Used an F Body pan Every thing cleard well. I did have a slight interference with the A/C box but i was able to massage that. I am using the Truck accessories with LS1 intake. The Power steering pulley clears great and the alternator clears a stock hood.

Anyone know what the height of the stock type mounts are from frame to block with the bolt though it? I found some nice mounts from Chassisworks but they are for older body types but the Abody's look like they may work they measure 3" total height.
