B Body LS swap brackets - Impala Caprice Roadmaster
I bought these Ebay special Dirty Dingo knockoff swap brackets.
Avoid these.
The D and P are marked incorrectly. They almost line up...
It took me an extra 2 hours of cussing and ******* around to figure this out..
Also the notches cut in them are in thd reong spot...
So there goes another entire weekend trying to figure out why the **** they won't slide at all once installed...
Then once I got them sliding and all bolted up... the clearance is wrong and I had to shim the motor mounts up to keep them from hitting the stupid crossmember...
just buy the Dirty Dingo.. i wasted 2 entire weekends because of these Chinese parts..

@Alpha_numeric44 I used ICT billet adjustable ls mounts to clamshell sbc motor mounts for my ls swap, I can throw that motor in from 100 yards and get the bolts in perfect, the link for them is below,

Dirty Dingo worked great for my 95 Caprice....and I could slide the engine back so I didn't have to cut the frame braces off under neith for the 1 7/8 long tube headers..........Ls1 F-body oil pan worked great and I used the stock trans cross member for my th400.....
