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 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.
