MuscleRods? Has anyone used the LS mounting products form Musclerods?
My S&P mounts are not fitting well at all. Curious if success with Musclerods.

What oil pan are you using? My buddy put a 5.3 in his 59 wagon with S&P mounts and had to shim them up about a 1/4" to clear the crossmember. He used an F body pan, the only one that really works.

I'm using an F-body pan. No problem clearing crossmember.
But the transmission is missing the bolt holes by 1/2 ".
I've read that S&P mounts don't leave you with correct divine angle, and there are apparently various success with fit.
The motor mounts were very difficult time get then to fit, but they are in.
So I'm interested to hear of experience with the Musclerods. Their so comes with motor stands as week, so I bet they bolt right up.
The bad news is that the S&P rant mount requires cutting off the original tranny brackets on the frame, and Musclerod's mount on those.

I've got a set for my C10. They look really nice and well made, only thing is, I haven't installed them yet and I plan on going to motor plates. Based on the quality, I would assume they fit good but that really doesn't mean anything. They could have amazing quality welds and cuts but could be in an f'd up jig.

I appreciate the input. I'll keep my eye out here.
I do have one problem, the S&P tranny mount that is not fitting right...the instructions said to cut the tabs off the frame for the original tranny mount, which Musclerods uses. So, for the tranny, I'll probably have to figure something else out.
