1" setback plates ???
I hope like hell they fit... so I won't be wasting my money... I'm going to use the factory clamshell on the plates

if you notice on a SBC vs the Gen III/IV/V engine. The missing 1" is due to the rear bell housing flange.. due to the new cars engine bay being smaller.. GM shorten that area so they could fit them into a more compact engine bay.
That is about it for why you move the engine back 1" to meet up with the stock location of a older cars transmission flange location. (or trans up 1").
There is no one reason to use one plate location or another location IMO.. just move it where it works best..

Yes.. that is a taken if you move it.. I should have stated that. I think I stated some of the same in aonther recent post out there a both plates.... .
Neither of my swap (chevelle or nova) are in any standard or 1" setback locations. Both are have either modified frame stand location or plates engine location changes. Drive Shaft are custom.

I used carshop 1" set backs on my 67 camaro and my th400 fell right into factory location on the xmember. I realize it is a different car but as others have said, 1 inch back plates are designed to put the rear of the ls engine in same location as if it were a sbc.
