Default 1969 Cutlass motor mounts

Need advice on which mounts to get for my lq4. Also is Holly my best choice for oil pan or is there a stock off the shelf pan that will work? Thanks.

holly is the way to go, unless you are willing to modify a stock pan..

I'm putting a 5.3/4l80e in my 72 cutlass, and started with the energy suspension adapter mounts, and bought chevelle frame stands, but I'm also modifying the firewall and trans tunnel.

If you are looking for mounts, you may as well go with the holly kit, the hard part is all done for you (it wasn't available when I started my project)

lots of info here:

Nice thing is, Holley has it all pre-engineered to fit and clear in most critical areas. The engine/tranny can be bolted in and connected; leaving fluid lines/electrical to do, most of which can be handled with other products in that line.

From the experience i went through on my 71 cutlass i will agree with the above and say go holley pan and mounts, headers too if you are going that route. I went through 3 different mounts to get to the one that sat right and gave me good angles (i ended up with UMI Performance mounts and doug's headers). The time saved is worth the $$ up front, trust me.
