C10 swap

I have a C10 with LS aspirations. What aftermarket engine stand would permit the trans and driveshaft to stay put?

I already spent money to have an Lq4/4l80e conversion done. This is more of a budget build so I just want to toss in a 5.3 with the 700R and ride.

I think just about every mount moves the motor back about an inch. If you're interested I have some for sale actually.

I am doing a swap on a 68 c10 right now. It has a 700r4 in it. I got ebay swap plates and just moved the frame mounts a little forward. I kept the trans mount in the same place so no driveshaft mod for me.
I am using the Bowtie Overdrive TV cable with my setup. A little spendy but it looks good.

If you use the dirty dingo engine mounts they are adjustable. I put a 5.3 in a 1992 pickup and with the dirty dingo mounts i put it in the same location as the 350 that was in there.
