Looking for any and all options for mounting an LS in an XR4Ti, the use SIMILAR mounts to a fox body but not the same. I have come up with a few workable options but figured I would tap all your collective knowledge prior to pulling the trigger. I am sure mounts have been covered a million time, it seems most swap are mounting of the frame or x member. which is not ideal for my set up.

Round horizontal biscuits? C5 and GTO are the place to start. If not the (stub)frame or crossmember, to where will you mount them?

This is a nice setup if it's what you mean by biscuit style. Worked out great on my falcon build.

I will Look Into those thanks.

Lots of different shapes out there.

Look halfway down this page at the Mopar mounts used in this C4 swap (they are nice if you need an offset on the studs)

C5 corvette mounts are like tall rubber biscuits.

Many variations of these basic style

Do a search on ebay for universal LS motor mounts and you should find them. I believe they are $89 a pair.

I used c5 engine mounts on dirty dingo jeep mounts for my Xr4ti dropped right in on the factory mount location. Gave about 1/2 clearance from my pan to the rack.

These with the c5..I have a narrow tunnel car if yours is 87+ you may not need it. and you can use the trans-dapt one which are not adjustable

In the past on a few non-LS builds I have used '46 Ford biscuits. Cheap at $5 each (or less) and can also be used for body mounts.

Thanks for the information, also which oil pan were you using? I Am currently using an F body pan from an 1998 Camaro, and I don't have the room needed.

I am using a Canton racing road race pan but, you can use gm GM muscle car swap pan or a Holley retrofit pan. They both clear and pretty much any steel fabricated pan like jegs or summit brand

The GM C5 mounts work great, they are oil filled and really isolate the chassis from vibration. My old car has them and I had to design them into my front crossmember but it was worth it.

Manualswappin

On my Merkur there was no need to design them into it they bolted into the factory engine mount hole and with the DD mounts it sat perfectly.

huh???

Exactly, I fixed got side tracked in the middle of typing it. Thanks

Trans dapt 4509

Manualswappin

no, you need the adjustability of the Dirty Dingo version I posted above, I've tried the trans dapt 4509 and they sit to far back. The engine is only 1/2 and inch from the firewall.

This is a very cheap one, only few dollars. Took the control Arm Bushings from this axle (Ford Sierra) on back yeard. Welded Bushings to an original front axle on my Ford Sierra 1989. It held LSx in its place under many years. Sorry for my English.
