Default sbc to LS reloaction brackets
Does anyone have a print with dimensions for an LS motor mount bracket? I am running a TCI front clip on my Chevy II and it comes with pedestals for an sbc. I'd like to use our waterjet at work to make a pair of these plates. Thanks.

Rob

Why bother cutting and drilling them? You can get them ready to use, with fasteners on ebay for $35.

Are you wanting the motor to sit in the exact same place as the SBC did? Sharing that bottom hole does not locate the motor in the same spot to bolt to trans. If your changing motor and trans then it really won't matter since you usually have to do something with the transmission mount anyway.
