Default quick help on engine mounts

New to the group, this is my first post. Thanks for the help in advance. I am thinking about LS swapping my 81 camaro z28. I just built a 383 for it but decided to go a different route. My question is which/is the any motor mounts that with help me retain my factory crossmemeber location. Using super T10 26spline. Thanks!

I believe the Holley mounts will do that. They also have headers and other cross members in case you want to go to a T56 later.

There is a long thread in the conversion section (here) on how to make an older trans to a LS engine. Search is your friend.
