Default Where to mount the ECM on a 73-87

I can't find a good place in the glove box to mount the ECM in my 87 Chevrolet truck. The 2000 LS1 Ecm is alot bigger than the old tbi ecm .Anybody got pictures of how they did there's on a 73-87 Chevrolet truck with a LS swap?

I put mine behind the glove box on my 82 c10 . I did have to trim a couple of the fins down on the pcm to make it fit . I use industrial Velcro to attach it to the upper part of the firewall directly behind the glove box above the heater box. Heres a picture . Might not be the best but its the only one i have .

It did not get in the way of the glove box My pcm was from a 04 silverado. It worked out great . Yours being a 87 should fit the same as mine . 82 , 87 same body .
